Peripheral Vasopressor Administration: Optimizing Patient Safety
When every second counts, safe vascular access can make the difference between stabilization and catastrophe. Peripheral vasopressor administration has long been debated—too risky for some, a lifesaving bridge for others. But what does the latest evidence actually say, and how can frontline nurses and clinicians apply it at the bedside with confidence?

Join Barb Nickel, APRN-CNS, CCRN, CRNI—nationally recognized infusion therapy expert, Clinical Nurse Specialist, and current chair of the INS Standards of Practice Committee—as she demystifies the risks, benefits, and best practices for vasopressor administration. Through real-world case scenarios, Barb will walk us through vascular access selection, evidence-based safety strategies, and clinical decision-making pearls you can use immediately in practice.

This engaging, interactive session is designed for critical care nurses, emergency nurses, and infusion therapy specialists who want to sharpen their expertise and improve patient outcomes when vasopressors are needed most.
