Inotropic agents are used for low cardiac output states to improve end organ perfusion. These agents should be titrated to maintain a normal blood pressure for age. Blood pressure alone does not indicate adequate tissue perfusion. Serum biomarkers such as lactate should be followed as inotropic support is titrated. |
