Inotropic Therapy for Right Ventricular Failure in Newborn Piglets: Effect on Contractility, Hemodynamics, and Interventricular Interaction.
To investigate the effect of right ventricular stunning on interventricular relationships in newborn piglets and to determine the effect of three commonly used inotropic treatment strategies. ⋯ In newborn piglets, dobutamine had a nonsustained effect on right ventricular failure, resulting in decreased contractility and impaired perfusion compared with both dopamine and epinephrine administered in combination with milrinone.
