Dobutamine

Find Dobutamine in Inotropes. Predominant β₁ inotropy with some β₂ vasodilation; increases flow and may lower SVR.

Overview

Open Interventions → Inotropes. Choose Off, Low, Medium, High. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.

Predominant β₁ inotropy with some β₂ vasodilation; increases flow and may lower SVR.

The paused reference covers the route (Continuous IV infusion.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.

What to monitor in the reference: ECG, BP, CO and perfusion.

Step by step

  1. Inspect the untreated disease and active treatment count.
  2. Apply the intervention and compare pressures, forward flow, rhythm and congestion.
  3. Pause for its full reference; use Off or Interventions Reset to restart the comparison.
