Vasopressor stays vasopressor and inotrope stays inotrope!
We should like to comment on the interesting work reported by Müller 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 tone must further augment organ vascular resis...
متن کاملTotal inotrope exposure score: an extension of the vasoactive inotrope score
Methods A single-centred retrospective study was conducted in children undergoing cardiac surgery with Cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) between September 2010 and May 2011. The average and maximum VIS at 24 and 48 hours (VISavg24, VISmax24, VISmax48, VISavg48) and TIES were calculated. The performance of these scores to predict primary clinical outcome– either death, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane catheters and ambulatory perineural infusions for outpatient inguinal hernia repair.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks anesthetize the lower abdominal wall, and TAP catheters have been used to provide prolonged postoperative analgesia after laparotomy. The use of TAP catheters on an outpatient basis has not yet been described. We present our experience with ultrasound-guided TAP perineural catheter insertion and subsequent management of ambulato...
متن کاملIntermittent, ambulatory dobutamine infusions in patients with severe congestive heart failure.
Thirteen ambulatory patients with severe congestive heart failure were treated with weekly, outpatient 48-hour infusions of dobutamine. All 13 patients had at least a 25% increase in cardiac output during initial dobutamine titration, with a corresponding improvement in systemic vascular resistance. Improvement in functional class was achieved in only seven patients. Additionally, only three pa...
متن کاملContinuous Infusions of Meropenem in Ambulatory Care: Clinical Efficacy, Safety and Stability
OBJECTIVES Concerns regarding the clinical impact of meropenem instability in continuous infusion (CI) devices may contribute to inconsistent uptake of this method of administration across outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) services. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical efficacy and safety of CIs of meropenem in two Australian tertiary hospitals and assessed its st...
