alone or in combination with dobutamine). For patients with septic shock and
myocardial dysfunction, dobutamine can be added to norepinephrine or dopamine
for added inotropic support.
Although no single agent is universally superior in this setting, dobutamine’s
ease of use and better side-effect profi le, along with milrinone’s pharmacokinetic
considerations, render milrinone as a secondary agent. As is the case in heart failure,
concomitant vasopressor therapy may be necessary. In select situations, milrinone
and dobutamine may be used in combination when an adequate cardiac index can-
not be obtained with either agent alone.
An important consideration for use of milrinone over dobutamine in ADHF,
however, is for patients admitted on beta-blocker therapy. The use of a beta-agonist
with a beta-blocker would be largely counterproductive. In these cases, the use of
milrinone during titration or maintenance of beta-blocker therapy would be
preferred.
Despite the potentially more favorable hemodynamic profi le of milrinone than
dobutamine, clinical outcomes between the two agents have not differed.
2.4 Vasodilators and Antihypertensives
Vasodilators are used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and angina; however,
some vasodilators are better suited than others for these indications.
Dilation of arterial (resistance) vessels leads to a reduction in systemic vascular
resistance, which leads to a fall in arterial blood pressure. Dilation of venous
(capacitance) vessels decreases venous blood pressure. Vasodilators that act primar-
ily on resistance vessels (arterial dilators) are used for hypertension and heart fail-
ure, but not for angina because of refl ex cardiac stimulation. Venous dilators are
very effective for angina, and sometimes used for heart failure, but are not used as
primary therapy for hypertension. Most vasodilator drugs are mixed (or balanced)
vasodilators in that they dilate both arteries and veins; however, there are some very

useful drugs that are highly selective for arterial or venous vasculature. Some
vasodilators, because of their mechanism of action, also have other important
actions that can in some cases enhance their therapeutic utility as vasodilators or
provide some additional therapeutic benefi t (Koda-Kimble 2006 ; Rhoney and
Peacock 2009 ).
The potential drawbacks of vasodilators include:
• Systemic vasodilation and arterial pressure reduction can lead to a baroreceptor-
mediated refl ex stimulation of the heart (increased heart rate and inotropy). This
increases oxygen demand, which is undesirable if the patient also has coronary
artery disease (Dipiro et al. 2002 ).
• Vasodilators can impair normal baroreceptor-mediated refl ex vasoconstriction
when a person stands up, which can lead to orthostatic hypotension and syncope
upon standing (Dipiro et al. 2002 ).
• Vasodilators can lead to renal retention of sodium and water, which increases
blood volume and cardiac output and thereby compensates for the reduced sys-
temic vascular resistance (Dipiro et al. 2002 ) (Tables 2.5 and 2.6 ).
2.5 Intravenous Antiarrhythmic Agents
The ultimate goal of antiarrhythmic therapy is to maintain normal rhythm and con-
duction in the heart. Antiarrhythmic drugs either decrease or increase conduction
velocity, alter the excitability of cardiac cells by changing the duration of the refrac-
tory period, or suppress abnormal automaticity. All antiarrhythmic drugs alter mem-
brane ion conduction, which in turn alters the shape of the cardiac action potential
(Thireau et al. 2011 ; Kowey 1998 ).
Antiarrhythmic medications are used to treat a wide range of cardiac dysrhyth-
mias. Drugs from all of the different classes of antiarrhythmics are, at times, clini-
cally indicated for use in treating atrial fi brillation, atrial fl utter, paroxysmal
supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and occasionally premature
ectopic beats from either the atrium or the ventricle. The choice of antiarrhythmics
is generally based on the specifi c dysrhythmia or the overall threat to well-being
caused by the dysrhythmia (nuisance versus life or death), the underlying substrate
(presence or absence of structural heart disease), and the extent of the symptoms
associated with the dysrhythmia (Ganjehei et al. 2011 ; Thireau et al. 2011 ; Kowey
1998 ) (Table 2.7 ).
2.6 Analgesic Agents
Pain control in the critical care setting is often inadequate. Critically ill patients
may experience pain that is due to their underlying illness or injury and surgery or
the result of other nonsurgical interventions. Pain may also be the result of a variety
of noxious stimuli present in the critical care setting from monitoring (arterial cath-
eter, central venous catheter), therapeutic devices (ventilator), or routine nursing
