Jan 17 2018 Intravenous dobutamine was started at an infusion rate of 1.0 μg/kg/min and always up titrated to 4.0 μg/kg/min. Afterwards haemodynamic success was determined as the presence of i an absolute increase of cardiac index to >2.4 L/min/m 2 and/or 25 increase of cardiac index and/or ii a drop in pulmonary wedge pressure < 18 mmHg and/or a
Intravenous IV fluid bags are used for delivering medications intravenously for various chronic disorders such as cancer diabetes kidney diseases etc. Intending to avoid hospital acquired infections cross contamination and to reduce costs associated with the healthcare end users are increasingly adopting disposable IV fluid bags.
e19123 Background Doxorubicin continues to play a central role in management of breast cancer and sarcomas. Dose dependent cardiomyopathy is a challenge in its use. Strategies have been proposed to mitigate this including administration by continuous intravenous CIV infusion as an alternative to bolus BOL administration. This study used real world data to explore the
