Human Errors and Adverse Hemodynamic Events Related to "Push Dose Pressors" in the Emergency Department.

CONCLUSIONS: Human errors and adverse hemodynamic events were common with the use of push dose pressors in the emergency department. Adverse hemodynamic events were more common than in previous studies. Future research should determine if push dose pressors improve outcomes and if so, how to safely implement them into practice.
