Brief Summary  

Vasoactive medications (VM) and hypertonic saline infusion are indicated in most of intensive care unit (ICU) patients.  Both are usually recommended to be infused through central venous catheter (CVC) access, as the infusion through Peripheral Intravenous (PIV) line can cause local tissue injury due to extravasation of the drug. However insertion of CVC access itself is associated with complications including risk of bleeding, embolism, pneumothorax, catheter related blood stream infections etc. CVC access also adds to the increased cost during ICU stay and delay in initiating treatment. In our ICU, we usually start with PIV line and we do not encounter problems. In this study, we hypothesise that VM and 3% S infusion is feasible and safe through peripheral intravenous route in lower concentrations and we want to conduct this prospective observational study for confirmation of this hypothesis.
