The Synapse Season 2 Episode 85 - Dobutamine Heaven or Dobutamine Hell
With this case review (fictional) and dive into the pharmacology behind Dobutamine, by the end of this episode you should hopefully have a firm understanding of what it is, what it does, how it can be helpful to our patients, but also how it can harm them. I will also spend some time talking about Dobutamine in transport and how squeeze should never be the sole treatment. This concept does hold credence for in-hospital as well, but is subject to provider judgement.
