[Therapy of low-output syndrome in patients following cardiopulmonary bypass with sodium nitroprusside and dopamine]. 1978

K van Ackern, and N Franke, and K Peter

In 12 patients with low output after open-heart surgery the therapeutic effect of vasodilatation with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and dopamine was studied. All patients underwent aortocoronary bypass operations. After cardiopulmonary bypass, the cardiac index (CI) was 2.2 liters/min.m2. The pulmonary wedge pressure (PCWP) was about 20 mm Hg. Application of SNP lowered mean arterial pressure to 82 and PCWP to 13 mm Hg. Then PCWP was elevated to the control level by tranfusion of blood. This therapy increased CI by about 30% without positive inotropic intervention. Additional application of 5 micrograms dopamine/kg.min improved the CI to 3.8 liters/min.m2.

D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
