Low dose (renal dose) dopamine in the critically ill patient.

چکیده
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether low dose (renal dose) dopamine in the critically ill patient prevents acute renal failure. Altogether 141 papers were found using the reported search, of which three presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results, and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. We conclude that there is no evidence to support the use of low-dose dopamine to treat acute renal failure in critically ill patients.

BACKGROUND Low-dose dopamine is commonly administered to critically ill patients in the belief that it reduces the risk of renal failure by increasing renal blood flow. However, these effects have not been established in a large randomised controlled trial, and use of dopamine remains controversial. We have done a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of low-dose dopam...
متن کاملPharmacokinetic Behavior of Theophylline following PEEP in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Lung Injury
The effect of Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) on the hepatic elimination of low to moderate extraction ratio drugs has not been clearly defined. We prospectively investigated the effect of PEEP on the clearance of theophylline in 30 (20 males and 10 females) intubated critically ill adult patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). The Mean (±SD) age ...

متن کاملDigital necrosis after low-dose dopamine treatment
A 64-year-old white diabetic patient came to the emergency department at our medical institute with acute renal failure caused by a toxic shock that occurred because of ecthyma gangrenosum of the right lower extremity (Figure 1a) and septicaemia caused by Aeromonas hydrophila, which resulted from a mud bath in brackish water on the seaside. The patient was initially treated with diuretic dose d...
متن کاملRenal function and thromboprophylaxis in critically ill patients
ective dose of enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis in critically ill patients recorded over 24 hours. Th e study concluded that the standard dose of 40 mg led to subtherapeutic anti-factor Xa activity (aFXa) and 60 mg daily was optimal. Th e high rate of thromboembolic disease observed in critically ill patients could thus be explained by inadequate aFXa with the standard 40 mg dose. Low molecula...
