Question
- Suitable oxygen delivery to body tissue is dependent on all of the following EXCEPT:A Adequate blood oxygenationB Adequate hemoglobinC Adequate perfusionD Adequate IV access15. What is the best vasoactive agent for severe warm septic shock?A NorepinephrineB DobutomineC MilrnoneD Phenylephrine
Solution
-
The correct answer is D. Adequate IV access. While IV access is important for delivering medications and fluids, it is not directly involved in the delivery of oxygen to body tissues. Oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on adequate blood oxygenation (A), adequate hemoglobin (B), and adequate perfusion (C).
-
The correct answer is A. Norepinephrine. According to the Surviving Sepsis Guidelines, norepinephrine is the first-line vasoactive agent for the treatment of severe septic shock. Dobutamine (B), Milrinone (C), and Phenylephrine (D) can be used in certain situations, but they are not the first choice for severe warm septic shock.
