Vasopressor stays vasopressor and inotrope stays inotrope! [PDF]

Critical Care, 2008
We should like to comment on the interesting work reported by Muller and colleagues [1]. We feel that the results of their experiment were predictable and that arginine vasopressin (AVP) was not indicated in that setting. Infusing a vasoconstrictor without relevant inotropic potential in an acute low flow state with maintained or increased vascular ...

Vasopressors and Inotropes in Acute Myocardial Infarction Related Cardiogenic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2020
Vasopressors and inotropes are routinely used in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) related cardiogenic shock (CS) to improve hemodynamics. We aimed to investigate the effect of routinely used vasopressor and inotropes on mortality in AMI related CS.

Peripheral Inotropes in Critically Ill Children: Is It Safe?

medRxiv, 2021
Many children needing pediatric intensive care units care require inotropes, which are started peripherally prior to securing a central venous access. However, many hospitals in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) may not have access to central lines

Pediatric cardiogenic shock: Current perspectives

Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2015
Cardiogenic shock is a pathophysiologic state where an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for the failure of the cardiovascular system to meet the metabolic needs of the body tissues.Though it is less common than hypovolemia as the primary ...

Differential effects of inotropes and inodilators on renal function in acute cardiac care

European Heart Journal, Supplement, 2020
Pathological interplay between the heart and kidneys is widely encountered in heart failure (HF) and is linked to worse prognosis and quality of life. Inotropes, along with diuretics and vasodilators, are a core medical response to HF but decompensated ...

Extended‐Release Oral Milrinone for the Treatment of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly prevalent form of heart failure, representing half of the total burden of heart failure. We hypothesised that modulation of the phosphodiesterase type 3/cyclic AMP using

Inotropic Action of Hexamethonium [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1958
The positive inotropic action of hexamethonium in hypodynamic and freshly prepared papillary muscles of the eat and the hypodynamic heart-lung preparation of the dog has been demonstrated. Within certain limits, there exists a proportionality between the concentration of hexamethonium and the magnitude of the inotropic response.
