Dopamine Reverses Lung Function Deterioration After Cardiopulmonary Bypass Without Affecting Gas Exchange.
To investigate the effects of dopamine on the adverse pulmonary changes after cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ Dopamine reversed the complex detrimental lung mechanical changes induced by cardiopulmonary bypass and alleviated ventilation heterogeneities without affecting the physiologic deadspace or intrapulmonary shunt. Therefore, dopamine has a potential benefit on the gas exchange abnormalities after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass.
