Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialA randomised, clinical study of the effect of low-dose dopamine on central and renal haemodynamics in infrarenal aortic surgery.
To determine whether dopamine prevents deterioration of central haemodynamics and renal function in aortoiliac surgery. ⋯ Peroperatively, dopamine counteracted depression of left ventricular function. The increased ERPF at the first postoperative clearance in the dopamine group indicates either improved peroperative haemodynamics or a synergistic effect between dopamine and epidural sympathetic blockade. Dopamine also improved diuresis and natriuresis.
