A review of role and use of catecholamines during critical illness in children
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
There is no fi rm evidence that any one catecholamine is more effective or safer than other in the treatment of shock. The choice of an agent depends on the underlying hemodynamic state. Understanding the pathophysiology, metabolic effects and altered responsiveness to catecholamines during critical illness is useful for management of the same. Titration of catecholamine is essential to avoid harmful side-effects.
