Why is it important?
This led to practice change of protocol drivin hemodynamic management combining clinical, physiological and lab markers . This resulted in significant reduction in our inotropes use and mortality and/or brain injury
Perspectives
I think it’s time to put hard brakes on inotropes use and consider it as driving through red light : only for emergencies
