Milrinone Attenuates Arteriolar Vasoconstriction and Capillary Perfusion Deficits on Endotoxemic Hamsters

摘要

Background and ObjectiveApart from its inotropic property, milrinone has vasodilator, anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic effects that could assist in the reversal of septic microcirculatory changes. This paper investigates the effects of milrinone on endotoxemia-related microcirculatory changes and compares them to those observed with the use of norepinephrine.
