💡 Two Mnemonics. Two Drugs. Zero Confusion.

"COLD needs the HEAT"
Cold shock → Epinephrine
Beta-1 inotropy warms cardiac output + alpha-1 maintains vascular tone
Dose: 0.05-0.3 mcg/kg/min

"WARM needs the SQUEEZE"
Warm shock → Norepinephrine
Alpha-1 vasoconstriction squeezes dilated vessels + mild beta-1 support
Dose: 0.05-0.3 mcg/kg/min

Match the phenotype. Pick the drug. Reassess every 5-15 min.
