Effects of fenoldopam mesylate on central hemodynamics and renal flow in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: color Doppler echocardiographic evaluation.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 0.1 microg/kg/min of fenoldopam mesylate on renal flow and central hemodynamics measured by echocardiography in hemodynamically stable patients with preserved renal function undergoing cardiac surgery. ⋯ In hemodynamically stable cardiac surgery patients with preserved renal function, an infusion of 0.1 microg/kg/min of fenoldopam mesylate has no influence on systemic hemodynamics while increasing renal blood flow.

Cardioprotection afforded by St Thomas solution is enhanced by emulsified isoflurane in an isolated heart ischemia reperfusion injury model in rats.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether adding emulsified isoflurane to St Thomas cardioplegia solution could enhance the cardiac protection after cardioplegic arrest in rats. ⋯ St Thomas cardioplegia solution supplemented with emulsified isoflurane enhanced its cardioprotection in an isolated heart ischemia reperfusion injury model in rats.
