Effects of short-term simultaneous infusion of dobutamine and terlipressin in patients with septic shock: the DOBUPRESS study. Export

@article{citeulike:2468312, abstract = {BACKGROUND: /st> Terlipressin bolus infusion may reduce cardiac output and global oxygen supply. The present study was designed to determine whether dobutamine may counterbalance the terlipressin-induced depression in mixed-venous oxygen saturation (Sv(o(2))) in patients with catecholamine-dependent septic shock. METHODS: /st> Prospective, randomized, controlled study performed in a university hospital intensive care unit. Septic shock patients requiring a continuous infusion of norepinephrine (0.9 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 70 (sd 5) mm Hg were randomly allocated to be treated either with (i) sole norepinephrine infusion (control, n=20), (ii) a single dose of terlipressin 1 mg (n=19), or (iii) a single dose of terlipressin 1 mg followed by dobutamine infusion titrated to reverse the anticipated reduction in Sv(o(2)) (n=20). Systemic, pulmonary, and regional haemodynamic variables were obtained at baseline and after 2 and 4 h. Laboratory surrogate markers of organ (dys)function were tested at baseline and after 12 and 24 h. RESULTS: /st> Terlipressin (with and without dobutamine) infusion preserved MAP at 70 (5) mm Hg, while allowing to reduce norepinephrine requirements to 0.17 (0.2) and 0.2 (0.2) microg kg(-1) min(-1), respectively [vs1.4 (0.3) microg kg(-1) min(-1) in controls at 4 h; each P<0.001]. The terlipressin-linked decrease in Sv(o(2)) was reversed by dobutamine at a mean dose of 20 (8) microg kg(-1) min(-1) [Sv(o(2)) at 4 h: 59 (11)\% vs 69 (12)\%, P=0.028]. CONCLUSIONS: /st> In human catecholamine-dependent septic shock, terlipressin (with and without concomitant dobutamine infusion) increases MAP and markedly reduces norepinephrine requirements.
