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.…
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 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…
