A significant number of consultants are using Dopamine infusion to maintain BP during intra-operative period under CNB including High spinals (T2-4) , Thoracic epidurals or CSE techniques
So any patient coming for an laprotomy or trauma surgery both elective and emergent get a Dopamine infusion started followed by the CNB technique of choice.
Ephedrine and fluids do not play a main role in their management protocol
They claim that all you need to do is maintain BP irrespective of the drug used
I wonder what will be the outcomes in light of the uncorrected volume status,tachycardia and other problems that inotropes produce.
IS this technique scientifically acceptable supported by evidence.
Will the outcomes be affected by this technique
