In my practice, I have always weaned off Vasopressin first, then phenylephrine
then levo last. But we do not have a policy that states that, it is clinical
judgement

Hi,
I am new to this list serve and I am hoping this is where I might get
information on weaning vasopressors in a septic patient. I have seen a lot of
information on how to initiate the pressors, however I cannot find information
on how to wean off the pressors. Some say "first on, first off" some say, wean
levo first some say never to have Vasopression on alone, some say wean vaso
last. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
