The influence of Dopamine on microcirculation during hemorrhagic shock was investigated by means of the pancreas chamber technique (HEISIG, 1967). Parameter of microcirculation was the corpuscular flow velocity measured with the "flying spot" method. Simultaneously arterial and venous blood pressure, heart rate, blood gases and pH-status were registered. While a Dopamine-dosage of 5 mug/kg/min did not markedly effect perfusion of the pancreas, application of 10 as well as 20 mug/kg/min Dopamine caused a significant improvement of microcirculation. There was no difference between 10 and 20 mug/kg/min Dopamine. The increase of capillary perfusion can certainly not be explained by the small rise of blood pressure that was found under treatment with Dopamine. The results support the statement of the existence of Dopamine-specific receptors in pancreatic vessels. Compared to a group of animals treated with 5 mug/kg/min Dopamine and an untreated control group, survival rate of animals treated with 10 as well as 20 mug/kg/min Dopamine was significantly increased.

Background: It is unclear if immunomodulation via cytokine adsorption (CA) to reduce perioperative inflammatory cascade in cardiothoracic transplants is associated with better outcomes.
Objective: This pilot study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of intraoperative CA in heart/lung transplantation.
Methods: From July to October 2020, intraoperative CA was instituted in 11 patients who underwent heart/lung transplantation.

Objectives: Heart transplant is the most effective treatment in patients with advanced heart failure who are refractory to medical treatment. The brain death interval and type of inotrope We assessed the effects of these parameters on heart transplant outcomes.
Materials And Methods: In this follow-up study, we followed heart transplant recipients for 1 year to study patient survival, ejection fraction, adverse events, and organ rejection.
Dopamine infusion at typical infusion rates does not cause interference on plasma creatinine assays.
Pract Lab Med
May 2024
Department of Chemical Pathology, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hospital Authority, Hong Kong.
A Objectives: Dopamine is known to cause negative interference on enzymatic creatinine measurement. However, its effect on the Jaffe reaction, and its concentration required to interfere with enzymatic reactions, remain uncertain. This study was designed to study the interference of stable dopamine infusion on Jaffe and enzymatic creatinine assays, as well as the effect of dopamine infusion drip arm contamination on both creatinine assays.

Use of norepinephrine in preterm neonates with dopamine-resistant shock: a retrospective single-centre cross-sectional study.
BMJ Paediatr Open
April 2023
Department of Neonatology, Shanghai Children's Hospital, school of medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China
Background: Norepinephrine (NE) is recommended for children and full-term neonates (born at >37 gestational weeks) with septic shock. Meanwhile, data on the effectiveness of NE in preterm neonates are still limited. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of NE in preterm neonates with dopamine-resistant shock compared with that in full-term neonates.
