May preserve renal cortical flow in canine hemorrhage; leaves open translation to human shock management.
Does dopamine infusion improve renal blood flow distribution in dogs during hemorrhage?
Dopamine infusion improves renal cortical blood flow during hemorrhage in a canine model, which may partially explain its beneficial effects on renal function in shock.
Neiberger et al. (1979) studied this question.
