    AbstractPlasma concentrations and hemodynamic effects of olprinone were evaluated in seventeen patients undergoing open heart surgery. The patients were randomized into the bolus group (15 micrograms.kg-1 bolus dose +0.1 microgram.kg-1.min-1 infusion, n = 9) and the non-bolus group (0.1 microgram.kg-1.min-1 infusion, n = 8). Plasma concentrations and hemodynamic variables were measured before CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass; baseline), 5, 60 min after weaning from CPB, and 3, 6 hours after the end of surgery. Plasma concentrations in the non-bolus group were significantly lower than those of bolus group at any point except for 3 hours after the end of surgery. In the bolus group, increases in the cardiac index and stroke volume index were significantly higher compared with the non-bolus group. From these results we conclude that olprinone given in bolus (15 micrograms.kg-1) followed by continuous infusion (0.1 microgram.kg-1.min-1) is efficacious and safe during weaning from CPB.
