Abstract
The effects of dobutamine, a new catecholamine, have been studied during anaesthesia with halothane, halothane and nitrous oxide and alphaprodine. Renal blood flow is increased by dobutamine as are mean arterial pressure and heart rate. The increase in rate is less marked during alphaprodine anaesthesia than when halothane is administered. Dobutamine may prove a useful agent in the management of acute circulatory failure but it is capable of inducing dysrhythmias under the conditions of these experiments.Entities:
