[The use of dopamine during postoperative cardiogenic shock in children. Preliminary results].
Dopamine was used in a dose of 5 mug/kg/min in ten infants with congenital cardiopathy and presenting in the immediate postoperative period a syndrome of low cardiac output. The output was not measured but, based on the evolution of the clinical signs, six favourable results, with correction of the syndrome, can be reported.
