Using a rapid computerized thermodilution method, we examined the evolution of right ventricular performance in 23 patients with septic shock. Nine survived the episode of septic shock. The other 14 patients died of refractory circulatory shock. Significant right ventricular systolic dysfunction, de
Catecholamines play an important role in the treatment of septic shock. Not much is known about their effects on right ventricular function. In this paper the available data on the effects of different catecholamines on right ventricular dysfunction complicating septic shock are reviewed.
