Interventions
Anisodamine will be given first as bolus of 10 mg, followed by 0.1-0.5mg/kg/hr. The adjustment of pump infusion rate is largely at the discretion of treating physician, with the aim of improving microcirculation and limit the side effect to a minimum. For example, if serum lactate continues to elevate, the infusion rate can be increased. Discontinuation on severe side effect or recovery of shock (normalized lactate, weaned from vasopressor) or death.
