Background: Use of vasopressors is a common practice to support hemodynamics and optimization of tissue perfusion in patients presenting with shock. Historically the administration of vasopressors was restricted to central venous catheters (CVC) due to concerns for local tissue injury resulting from vasoconstriction if extravasation occurred from a peripheral IV.

Researchers have found that MRI reveals functional brain alterations that are associated with major depression, according to a study published February 19 in JAMA Network Open. The study results could help clinicians better care for depressed patients, wrote a team led by Xinyi Wang of Southeast University, Nanjing, China. "[Major] depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with reduced quality of life and increased risk of suicide and self-wounding," Wang and colleagues noted.
