Pharmacotherapeutics of Positive Inotropes [PDF]
AORN Journal, 2000 ABSTRACTPharmacology is integrated in all areas of nursing practice. From the most basic entry level to the most advanced clinical practice, nursing curriculums are not complete without pharmacology. The word “pharmacology” often makes nurses and other health care professionals feel uneasy.

Recognition and management of neonatal hemodynamic compromise
Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2021 Hemodynamic compromise of the neonate can occur in various clinical situations, including but not limited to maladaptation during the early transitional period, sepsis, congenital heart anomalies, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus ...

Current evidence in the diagnosis and management of cardiogenic shock complicating acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a hemodynamically complex and highly morbid syndrome characterized by circulatory collapse and inadequate end-organ perfusion due to impaired cardiac output.

Chronic Constrictive Pericarditis in a low-income-setting: Challenges and Outcome of Surgery
Ibom Medical Journal, 2022 Background: In a low-income setting like ours, chronic constrictive pericarditis is not uncommon. Affected patients present late for surgical management owing to poverty and ignorance. These two factors adversely affect the outcome of surgery. Objective:

State of Shock: Contemporary Vasopressor and Inotrope Use in Cardiogenic Shock
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023 Cardiogenic shock is characterized by tissue hypoxia caused by circulatory failure arising from inadequate cardiac output. In addition to treating the pathologic process causing impaired cardiac function, prompt hemodynamic support is essential to reduce
