  • Title: Pharmacologic management of the postoperative cardiac surgery patient.
    Author: Katz EA.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2007 Dec; 19(4):487-96, vii. PubMed ID: 18022532.
    Abstract:
    Maintaining adequate cardiac output in postoperative cardiac surgery patients is a complex and challenging feat for health care teams. Alterations in preload, afterload, contractility, heart rate, and rhythm can be devastating to these patients and lead to lethal consequences. An array of pharmacologic therapies is available in the critical care setting to help prevent and treat such complications and ensure satisfactory cardiac performance.
