Key result
Intravenous milrinone in neonates with low cardiac output after cardiac surgery increased cardiac index from 2.1 to 3.0 L/min/m2 (p<0.01) and lowered systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances.
Why the study?
Does intravenous milrinone improve hemodynamic parameters in neonates with low cardiac output after cardiac surgery?
Cohort (n=10)
Does intravenous milrinone improve hemodynamic parameters in neonates with low cardiac output after cardiac surgery?
Intravenous milrinone effectively improves cardiac index and lowers vascular resistance in neonates with low cardiac output following corrective cardiac surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support hemodynamic management in neonates; leaves open randomized confirmation of clinical outcomes.

Chang et al. (1995) conducted a cohort in Low cardiac output after cardiac surgery (n=10). Milrinone vs. Baseline was evaluated on Cardiac index (p=<0.01). Intravenous milrinone in neonates with low cardiac output after cardiac surgery increased cardiac index from 2.1 to 3.0 L/min/m2 (p<0.01) and lowered systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances.
