Using midodrine to accelerate weaning of intravenous vasopressors in acute spinal cord injured patients admitted to the intensive care unit: A retrospective study of 28 patients
Initiating oral midodrine in the ICU within 7 days of a traumatic SCI resulted in a rapid decrease in intravenous vasopressor requirements in close to 80% of people while maintaining MAP targets, therefore supporting the potential of midodrine to accelerate the weaning of intravenous vasopressors.
