Does inhaled milrinone improve tolerability and weaning from CPB in high-risk cardiac surgery patients?
Preliminary experience suggests inhaled milrinone is well tolerated and may assist in weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass in high-risk cardiac surgery patients.
In this high-risk cohort, use of inhaled milrinone was well tolerated. Administration before initiation of CPB could help weaning from CPB.
Lamarche et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
