Effects of fenoldopam mesylate infusion on splanchnic perfusion after myocardial revascularization on cardiopulmonary bypass: an ultrasound Doppler study.
To measure the effects of fenoldopam mesylate infusion on splanchnic blood flow in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ The infusion of fenoldopam increased the flow through the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery; the effect was higher for the latter. These changes did not affect the hemodynamic variables.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of different doses of remifentanil infusion on hemodynamics and recovery in children undergoing pediatric diagnostic cardiac catheterization.
The present study aimed to compare 2 different doses of remifentanil infusion on hemodynamics, recovery period, and complications in children undergoing diagnostic pediatric cardiac catheterization. ⋯ After oral midazolam premedication and local prilocaine infiltration, 0.2 μg/kg/min of remifentanil provided adequate sedation without any hemodynamic compromise during pediatric diagnostic cardiac catheterization.
