Norepinephrine-Equivalent Vasopressor Dose
Kotani 2023 norepinephrine-equivalent (NEE) score: total mcg/kg/min equivalent from NE, epinephrine, dopamine, phenylephrine, vasopressin (units/min), and angiotensin II (ng/kg/min).

Example
- Norepinephrine
- 0.1 mcg/kg/min
- Epinephrine
- 0.05 mcg/kg/min
- Dopamine
- 0 mcg/kg/min
- Phenylephrine
- 0 mcg/kg/min
- Vasopressin
- 0.04 units/min
- Angiotensin II
- 0 ng/kg/min
Result: Total norepinephrine-equivalent 0.25 mcg/kg/min (norepinephrine 0.1 + epinephrine 0.05 + vasopressin 0.1).
