      Dopamine is an immediate catecholamine precursor of noradrenaline that directly stimulates alpha, beta and peripheral dopaminergic receptors in a dose-dependent manner, as well as acting indirectly by releasing endogenous noradrenaline from storage sites in sympathetic nerve endings. At low doses, dopamine receptor stimulation predominates, causing renal, mesenteric and coronary blood vessel ...

      The second chart depicts selected vasopressors/inotropes and the receptors on which they work. Milrinone and Vasopressin do not work within the alpha, beta, and dopamine receptor system. Milrinone, which is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, causes a vasodilatation and increases the force of contraction. Vasopressin, on the other hand, is a direct vasoconstrictor working at the V1 receptors in the ...

      Predominantly beta adrenergic effects in low to moderate dose ranges (up to 10 mic/kg/min). This effect may be due to it’s conversion to norepinephrine in the myocardium, and activation of adrenergic receptors. In higher dose ranges, alpha adrenoceptor activation increase and causes vasoconstriction. At all dose ranges it is a potent chronotrope. The so-called “renal protective” effect ...

      If there is inadequate response to fluid resuscitation, vasopressors with alpha and beta activity should be initiated to counter the loss of sympathetic tone and provide chronotropic cardiac support (12). Septic Shock . Sepsis, the presence of infection plus a systemic inflammatory response, progresses to a shock state when there is persistent hypotension, despite adequate fluid resuscitation ...
