Q

Effects of dobutamine:

Use:

A

1) Inotropic (increased contractility is most useful effect)
2) slight chronotropy (increases O2 consumption with inotropic, so bad, can cause ischemia)
3) increases conduction velocity (bad; arrythmyas)

Used for heart failure with decreased contractility i.e. MI cardiogenic shock

Q

pulsus paradoxus: sign and mechanism and causes

A

> 10mmHg fall in SBP upon inspiration.

Mechanism: increase in RVP during inspiration (VR and pulmonary retrigrade flow) causes RVP>LVP → IVS pushed into LV decreasing filling → decreased CO and thus SBP

Causes: cardiac tamponade, asthma, OSA, pericaditis, croup
