title: Effects of milrinone on pulmonary gas exchange in catecholamine-dependent heart failure.
abstract: Hemodynamic benefits of milrinone administration are accompanied by adverse effects on arterial oxygenation in mechanically ventilated patients with end-stage heart failure. Particular attention should be focused on pulmonary gas exchange variables after initiation of milrinone treatment in the critically ill patient.
