What is Vasoactive drugs linked with?

2

Studies link Vasoactive drugs with 2 measures, most often epinephrine (1 study) and in-hospital mortality (1).

Epinephrine

upin humans1OR 6.36

1 study

  1. Vasoactive drugs are associated with epinephrine in humans (OR 6.36, 95% CI 1.12–36.08, p = 0.05).

    “the use of vasoactive drugs was found to be associated with an undetectable epinephrine level (OR [95% CI] = 6.36 [1.12, 36.08]), p = 0.05)”
