Norepi.. what's the highest you'd run it at and why/why not?

probably wouldn't go over 20 mics per minute.
There was a recent M&M, that was released into the public domain by the department involved, in which a 12-year-old received at least a 1 mg IV bolus of NE (potentially a 4 mg bolus.) Her pressure got into the 150's, pulse into the mid 40s, and she got a headache.
That certainly supports the contention that there is no effect beyond a certain point.

Why not?
l think it seriously vasoconstricts guts beyond this dose, please correct me if l am wrong. How much does estimate for lasting of infusion has impact on max dose of NA?
