Key result
Noradrenaline is recommended as the first-choice vasopressor for perioperative shock, while dobutamine or PDE III inhibitors should be considered for patients with impaired cardiac function.
Why the study?
How should vasopressors and inotropes be selected for circulatory management in perioperative patients?
How should vasopressors and inotropes be selected for circulatory management in perioperative patients?
This review outlines a stepwise approach to hemodynamic management in perioperative patients, emphasizing pain control, volume optimization, and targeted use of noradrenaline, dobutamine, or PDE III inhibitors based on echocardiographic assessment.

Moritoki Egi (2020) conducted a review in Perioperative shock and hemodynamic instability. Noradrenaline, Dobutamine, and PDE III inhibitors vs. Dopamine was evaluated. Noradrenaline is recommended as the first-choice vasopressor for perioperative shock, while dobutamine or PDE III inhibitors should be considered for patients with impaired cardiac function.
