Popis: Objective To test whether dopexamine hydrochloride, by its β 2 -adrenoceptor and dopaminergic 1 (DA 1 ) and dopaminergic 2 (DA 2 ) agonistic properties, can improve oxygen consumption ( V ˙ o 2 ) in hyperdynamic patients with septic shock. Design Prospective, single-cohort study. Setting ICU, university hospital. Patients Twenty-nine postoperative, hemodynamically stabilized, hyperdynamic patients with septic shock. Interventions Short-term application (30 min) of dopexamine hydrochloride at a dose of 2 μg/kg/min. Measurements Complete hemodynamic profile with O 2 transport-related variables at baseline, 30 min after starting the dopexamine infusion, and 30 min after stopping the infusion. Main results The dopexamine infusion resulted in significant increases in cardiac index (17%) (p 2 delivery (Do 2 ) (16%) (p
