Dopamine and the aged.
Abstract
Regardless of the age of the patient, dopamine is a valuable agent for treating shock associated with an abdominal catastrophe. However, when the time is appropriate for withdrawal of dopamine, the aged do not react as do younger patients. Despite apparent adequate hydration, additional volume loading is required to avert renal failure, and the dosage of dopamine has to be decreased gradually until withdrawal is complete.
