Nurses’ Decision-Making and Confidence With Titration of Vasoactive Medication

Titration protocols are valued but have limitations based on patients' responses and medical history. Vasoactive medication titration requires a robust knowledge base, experience, and collaboration with physicians and coworkers. Similar confidence levels despite different years of experience may be attributed to a strong unit support system or accelerated experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, when nurses were exposed to more patients receiving vasoactive medications.

Abstract

Titration protocols are valued but have limitations based on patients' responses and medical history. Vasoactive medication titration requires a robust knowledge base, experience, and collaboration with physicians and coworkers. Similar confidence levels despite different years of experience may be attributed to a strong unit support system or accelerated experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, when nurses were exposed to more patients receiving vasoactive medications.
