Categories of vasoactive drugs. In this section, we have a general description of vasoactive drugs. Their pharmacological action sites, dosage and vasoactive effect will be described. Vasoactive medications included inotropes, vasopressors, vasodilators and inodilators . Some agents have overlapping functions.
A vasoactive substance is an endogenous agent or pharmaceutical drug that has the effect of either increasing or decreasing blood pressure and/or heart rate through its vasoactivity, that is, vascular activity (effect on blood vessels).
Vasoactive drugs are used to support tissue perfusion and hence oxygenation. Vasoactive drugs act on various receptors in the body to produce their effects. Treatment with vasoactive drugs should be considered, if optimization of oxygenation, ventilation and adequate fluid resuscitation fail to restore cardiac output.
Classification of Vasoactive Drugs adrenaline. noradrenaline. dopamine. dobutamine. isoprenaline. dopexamine.

Strategies to limit the amount of fluid by the use of colloids, sub‐target resuscitation, or the use of vasoactive and/or inotropic drugs have been proposed. 17 However, current guidelines do not recommend the use of vasoactive and/or inotropic drugs in the initial resuscitation phase (0 24 h). 6, 8, 12 The use of vasoactive and/or

Vasoactive therapies are used in an attempt to manipulate these important parameters. Vasoactive drugs can also increase heart rate by increasing the sinoatrial
For example, angiotensin, bradykinin, histamine, nitric oxide, and vasoactive intestinal peptide are important endogenous vasoactive substances. Vasoactive drug
