Drug Cards: Content Update 1.06 - Metarminol

Drugs: Metaraminol

Glossary Terms: Autoregulation

Another interesting update this week. Metaraminol, a fairly ubiquitous vasopressor, isn't licensed in the UK. Make sure you consult local policy before using it, especially with regards to IV infusions since there is little official guidance on them and Drug Cards doesn't include information on IV infusions of this drug. 

Autoregulation is an important concept to understand for anyone giving CVS depressing drugs, like anaesthetics.
