Today's episode is the final in our series on inotropic and vasopressor medications. Today, we're going to tackle some of the more obscure inotropes and vasopressors - these medications typically aren't encountered terribly often within anaesthesia. During this episode, we discuss milrinone, levosimendan, methylene blue and hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12).
