Scandinavian SSAI clinical practice guideline on choice of inotropic agent for patients with acute circulatory failure
Journal: Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica
Year: 2018

We suggest against the routine use of any inotropic agent in adult patients with shock. If used, we suggest using dobutamine rather than other inotropic agents for the majority of patients, however, the quality of evidence was very low, implying high uncertainty on the balance between the benefits and harms of inotropic agents.
