The hemodynamic effects of dopamine following cardiopulmonary bypass. 1977

G Merin, and D Bitran, and G Uretzky, and E Superstine, and S Cotev, and J B Borman

The hemodynamic effects of dopamine were studied in 19 patients following intracardiac operation or myocardial revascularization using extracorporeal circulation. The heart rate, mean blood pressure, central venous pressure, left atrial and pulmonary artery pressures, cardiac output, and urine output were recorded before and at the end of one-hour infusions of dopamine at 5, 10, and 15 mug/kg/min. Infusion of 5 mug/kg/min of dopamine resulted in the highest gain in cardiac output and stroke work without an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption, as evidenced by lack of significant rise in heart rate. In addition, this dosage was not accompanied by an increase in pulmonary or systemic vascular resistance, nor were other untoward effects observed after administration of 5 mug/kg/min of dopamine.

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
D002315 Cardiopulmonary Bypass Diversion of the flow of blood from the entrance of the right atrium directly to the aorta (or femoral artery) via an oxygenator thus bypassing both the heart and lungs. Heart-Lung Bypass,Bypass, Cardiopulmonary,Bypass, Heart-Lung,Bypasses, Cardiopulmonary,Bypasses, Heart-Lung,Cardiopulmonary Bypasses,Heart Lung Bypass,Heart-Lung Bypasses
D002496 Central Venous Pressure The blood pressure in the central large VEINS of the body. It is distinguished from peripheral venous pressure which occurs in an extremity. Venous Pressure, Central,Central Venous Pressures,Pressure, Central Venous,Pressures, Central Venous,Venous Pressures, Central
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

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.
