Objective: To test whether dopexamine hydrochloride, by its beta(2)-adrenoceptor and dopaminergic 1 (DA(1)) and dopaminergic 2 (DA(2)) agonistic properties, can improve oxygen consumption (V over dot O-2) in hyperdynamic patients with septic shock.…

Objective: Investigation of the hypothesis that the infusion of 10 ng/kg/min prostacyclin (epoprostenol) (PGI(2)) improves O-2 uptake in patients with hyperdynamic septic shock. Design: Prospective, single cohort design. Setting: ICU, university…

Objectives: To test whether dopamine infusion improves oxygen delivery (D over dot O-2) and oxygen uptake (V over dot O-2) in hyperdynamic septic shock patients stabilized by adequate volume and dobutamine alone, or by the combination of dobutamine…

Objective: To assess global and splanchnic blood flow and oxygen transport in patients with sepsis with and without norepinephrine treatment. Design: Prospective, clinical study. Setting: University hospital intensive care unit. Patients: A…

Objective: To assess the effects of epinephrine on splanchnic perfusion and splanchnic oxygen uptake in patients with septic shock. Design: Prospective, controlled trial. Setting: University hospital intensive care unit (ICU). Patients: Eight…

Objective. To assess the effects of low-dose dopamine on splanchnic blood flow and splanchnic oxygen uptake in patients with septic shock. Design. Prospective, controlled trial. Setting. University hospital intensive care unit. Patients. 11 patients…

Objectives: Deactivation of endothelium-derived relaxing factor due to an increased oxygen radical load during sepsis may contribute to an impairment in microcirculatory blood flow. We investigated whether treatment with the sulfhydryl donor and…

Hyperoxic ventilation, used to prevent hypoxemia during potential periods of hypoventilation, has been reported to paradoxically decrease whole body oxygen consumption (Vo(2)). Reduction in nutritive blood flow due to oxygen radical production is one…

Objective: Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of leukocyte activation in septic patients in comparison to two control groups. Design: A prospective clinical study in which the leukocyte oxidative output of whole blood was measured in three…
