    Notes: Abstract Objective: To compare the effects of dopexamine and dopamine on the mucosal permeability of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Design: Prospective, randomised clinical trial. Setting: Intensive care unit of a postgraduate teaching hospital, London, England. Patients: Thirty patients undergoing elective surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass, performed by a single surgeon. Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to receive either dopexamine 2.0 μg/kg per min or dopamine 2.5 μg/kg per min for the duration of the study period. Measurements and main results: Hemodynamic parameters and gastric intramucosal pH (pHi) were measured at intervals throughout the study. GIT permeability was measured once, post-operatively, using the ratio of absorbed lactulose to L-rhamnose. The groups were similar with respect to demographics, pre- and post-operative risk factors. The lactulose/rhamnose ratio was (mean ± SEM) 0.44 ± 0.10 in the dopexamine group vs 0.65 ± 0.08 in that receiving dopamine (p 〈 0.05). The dopexamine group had a significantly higher oxygen delivery preoperatively (479.5 ± 32.0 ml/min per m2 vs 344.4 ± 23.9 ml/min per m2 for dopamine, p 〈 0.01), but no other significant differences emerged between the groups. Conclusions: Compared to dopamine, dopexamine reduces GIT permeability following surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. The mechanism of this effect remains unclear.

    Notes: Abstract Dobutamine, a new synthetic catecholamine, has been developed as a more specific inotrope and is reported to have less effect on heart rate and peripheral vascular resistance than other catecholamines. Reports of its effects after cardiotomy have cast doubt on this idea. We have compared the haemodynamic effects of dobutamine with isoprenaline (Group I) and with dopamine (Group II) in early postcardiotomy patients. In both groups a dose response curve was evaluated (dopamine and dobutamine were given at 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 μg/kg/min; isoprenaline at 0.005, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.04 μg/kg/min). In Group I both drugs caused significant increases in cardiac index at the highest dose level only. At that level isoprenaline was associated with a significantly higher heart rate than dobutamine and a significantly lower systemic vascular resistance. Similarly, in Group II, both drugs caused significant increases in the cardiac index only at the highest dose level. However, the heart rate at this dose was significantly higher with dobutamine. Dopamine caused no changes in heart rate at any dose level. Neither drug was associated with any alteration of systemic vascular resistance. No changes in stroke volume, left atrial pressure or pulmonary vascular resistance were found in either group. The rise in cardiac output was caused mainly by tachycardia.
