Histamine H2 antagonists, which reduce gastric acid secretion, are often used in the intensive care setting for the prophylaxis of stress ulcers. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated hemodynamic parameters in 11 stable, critically ill patients receiving famotidine. Repeated-measures ANOVA demonstrated that famotidine had no significant effect on baseline hemodynamic measurements and that there was no significant difference in hemodynamic values following the famotidine infusion as compared with NaCl 0.9% placebo (p > 0.05).
