dobutamine effects
beta 1 agonist
increase contractility
increase HR
administration of dobutamine
may be given peripheral line if no central line
milrinone effects
phosphodiesterase inhibitor increases cAMP increase contractility decreased PVR decreased SVR and BP
what is milrinone usually given with?
infusion of vasopressor
indications for milrinone
low EF/CO
pulmonary HTN
can milrinone be administered via peripheral line?
NO only central line
epinephrine effects
alpha and beta agonist
increases contractility
increases HR and BP
where should epi be administered?
centrally
dopamine effects
dopaminergic, alpha, and beta agonist
renal vasodilation
increases HR
increases BP
dopamine renal vasodilation dose
2-5mcg/kg/min
dopamine increases HR dose
5-10 mcg/kg/min
dopamine increases BP dose
> 10mcg/kg/min
where should dopamine be administered?
ONLY central line
levophed preparation

what is the usual bolus for levophed
4-16mcg (.25-1cc)
levophed effects
ALPHA and beta agonist
powerful vasoconstrictor
increase contractility
increase HR
