title: [Pharmacological correction of low cardiac output syndrome in hemofiltration].
abstract: Low cardiac output was corrected by catecholamines in the course of hemofiltration (HF) administered to 37 patients with multiple organ failure after surgery. Catecholamines (adrenaline hydrochloride, noradrenaline hydrotartrate, dopamine hydrochloride, and dobutamine hydrochloride) were used as monotherapy or in various combinations (two, three, or four drugs). Ninety percent of patients with low cardiac output subjected to HF were administered combined catecholamine therapy. Catecholamines provided the hemodynamic stability of HF in patients with low cardiac output. The frequency of noradrenaline administrations and its mean doses were reliably decreased in the course of HF, whereas the mean doses of adrenaline, dopamine, and dobutamine remained virtually the same.
