What do you do when your pager goes off at 2 AM, and the blood pressure is 82/55?

In this video, I break down the most common mistakes residents and hospital clinicians make when responding to hypotension overnight — including when NOT to reflexively give fluids, how to assess whether the patient is truly unstable, and when low blood pressure requires ICU-level escalation.

We’ll cover:

How to approach hypotension at night
The “Stabilize → Recognize → Treat” framework
When a low BP is actually dangerous
Common fluid bolus mistakes
Hypotension in heart failure and ESRD patients
How to recognize shock early
When to call rapid response or transfer to ICU
Vasopressors, sepsis, bleeding, and medication-related hypotension

This is practical 2 AM medicine for residents, hospitalists, interns, NPs, PAs, and anyone taking overnight call.

Topics covered:
hypotension management, low blood pressure, shock, ICU medicine, hospital medicine, internal medicine, rapid response, sepsis, vasopressors, fluid resuscitation, overnight admissions, residency survival, ICU rotation, hospitalist tips, on-call medicine
