Norepinephrine dose and concentration reporting: the devil is in the details.
- Authors
Kattan, Eduardo; Ibarra-Estrada, Miguel; Jung, Christian
- Abstract
This document is a comment on an article about norepinephrine, a commonly used drug in intensive care medicine. The comment discusses the importance of accurately reporting the dose and concentration of norepinephrine, as the lack of specificity can lead to interpretation errors. The authors emphasize the need for standardized dosing reporting and caution against re-analyzing previously reported data without considering factors such as drug shortages and changes in suppliers. They also acknowledge that the term "weakest" was inadequate in describing the potency of different norepinephrine salts and thank the authors for their precision. The comment concludes by highlighting the relevance of interdisciplinary teams, including pharmacists, in optimizing safe and effective drug administration.
