Understanding Dopamine and Vasopressors in Prehospital Care

In this solo episode, we explore dopamine and vasopressor use in the prehospital setting, focusing on how evidence, safety, and clinical reasoning intersect in Ontario’s current practice. You’ll learn why dopamine was historically chosen, its mechanism of action, dose-dependent effects, and the clinical risks associated with its use in critically ill patients.

We also compare dopamine and norepinephrine, review arrhythmic complications, and discuss how language and framing in medical education shape how paramedics think about inotropes and vasopressors. Finally, we highlight the importance of timely hypotension management and what it means for patient outcomes in the field.
