Article Synopsis
- * There are three main types of inotropes used for decompensated heart failure: beta adrenergic agonists (like dopamine and dobutamine), the phosphodiesterase III inhibitor milrinone, and the calcium sensitizer levosimendan.
- * A recent expert consensus from 21 countries highlights the complexities in identifying patients who need inotropes and selecting the right one for their specific condition.
Objective: There is initial evidence that the use of volatile anesthetics can reduce the postoperative release of cardiac troponin I, the need for inotropic support, and the number of patients requiring prolonged hospitalization following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Nevertheless, small randomized controlled trials have failed to demonstrate a survival advantage. Thus, whether volatile anesthetics improve the postoperative outcome of cardiac surgical patients remains uncertain.

Materials And Methods: 36 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass were prospectively included in the study. Inspired sevoflurane concentration was adjusted to ensure state entropy index < 40.
