Inhoudsopgave
Waarom Fluid Challenge?
Een eenvoudige manier om een inschatting van de actuele preload te maken, is door een fluid challenge te verrichten. Hierbij wordt met een kleine hoeveelheid vocht gepoogd een toename in slagvolume (SV) te veroorzaken.
Hoe meet je cardiac output?
Het slag volume v per minuut geeft de cardiac output. CO (cardiac output) = SV (slagvolume) X HF (hartfrequentie) Verande output. CO wordt uitgedrukt in ml/min of L/min. or 3600 (Mosteller formule).
What is the effect of milrinone on the heart?
Cardiac Effects of Milrinone In the myocardium, PDE III inhibition leads to increased contractility (inotropy) and improved relaxation (lusitropy). This effect leads to improved systolic and diastolic function and optimizes the cardiac output.
What is milrinone used for in ICU?
Milrinone is used mostly in the ICU and the cardiac unit for cardiac support in patients with acute heart failure, weaning patients with pre-existing left ventricular dysfunction from cardiopulmonary bypass, or as a temporizing agent for patients with plans to undergo cardiac surgery or transplantation.
Can milrinone be used in children with congenital heart disease?
Background: Children with congenital heart disease often undergo heart surgery at a young age. They are at risk for postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) or death. Milrinone may be used to provide inotropic and vasodilatory support during the immediate postoperative period.
Is there a difference between milrinone and dobutamine in cardiogenic shock?
In patients with cardiogenic shock, no significant difference between milrinone and dobutamine was found with respect to the primary composite outcome or important secondary outcomes.
