During therapy with a pressor agent, blood pressure should be elevated to slightly less than the patient’s normal blood pressure. In previously normotensive patients, systolic blood pressure should be maintained at 80 to 100 mmHg. In previously hypertensive patients, systolic blood pressure should be maintained at 30 to 40 mmHg below their usual blood pressure. In some patients with very severe hypotension, maintenance of even lower blood pressure may be desirable if blood or fluid volume replacement has not been completed. Adult dose for As above.
