The 5 ICU Drips Every Nurse Must Know

Comment “ICU” on Instagram @yournursingeducator
and I’ll send you a cheat sheet with ICU drips, titration tips, and NCLEX must-knows.
Don’t understand your ICU drips?
Then you can’t catch titration errors — and that’s dangerous.
Top 5 ICU drips:
Norepinephrine = vasopressor → raises BP


Propofol = sedative → drops BP, monitor MAP


Fentanyl = opioid → pain relief, watch respiratory rate


Insulin drip = DKA → check glucose + potassium


Amiodarone = antiarrhythmic → slows HR + BP


📌 Save this for clinicals or ICU prep!
