terload)
2. Dobutamine mechanism of ac- contractility
tion
3. Dopamine at a low-end 0.5-4mcg/kg/min
dose "renal dose" increases renal and mesentric perfusion
4. Dopamine at a mid- 4-10mcg/kg/min
range dose increases contractility and heart rate
5. Dopamine at a high- greater than 10mcg/kg/min
range dose vasoconstriction and increases BP

infil- tration
7. Dopamine antidote regitine (phentolamine)
8. TpA monitor for bleeding-hemorrhagic CVA
