A proposed framework improves dobutamine application in cardiogenic shock and septic shock, indicating clinical consistency.

A standardized approach for dobutamine administration may enhance patient outcomes by addressing deficiences in current guidelines.
Utilizing echocardiography and continuous cardiac output monitoring, recommendations suggest starting doses of 2.5 μg/kg*min.
Regular reassessment every 20 minutes allows for tailored dosing based on cardiac index and hypoperfusion signs.
This strategy aims to minimize unnecessary exposure to dobutamine while optimizing its clinical benefits and monitoring adverse effects.

Calabró et al. (2025) studied this question.
