Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of dopamine and dobutamine on thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),total thyroxine(T4) and growth hormone(GH) in preterm infants with hypotension.Methods Forty-seven preterm infants with hypotension were enrolled in the stu-dy,and 38 preterm infants remained hypotensive after two dose of isotonic saline solution,who were divided into two groups and assigned to receive dopamine or dobutamine.Drug infusion were all started at 4 ?g /(kg?min) and the dose increased by 2 ?g /(kg?min) in a stepwise fashion until either the mean blood pressure normalized or a maximal dose 20 ?g /(kg?min) was reached.Haemodynamic variables and se-rum levels of TSH,T4,and GH were assessed during the first 72 h of treatment and the first 3 d after stopping treatment.Microplate luminometer was used to test TSH,T4,GH levels.Results Necessary cumulative and mean drug doses and maximum infusion required to normalize blood pressure were significantly higher in the dobutamine group than those in the dopamine group(Pa0.05].Conclusions Dopamine and dobutamine both increase the syste-mic blood pressure,with higher drug doses in dobutamine group.Dopamine reduces levels of serum TSH,T4 and GH in preterm infants but such suppression is quickly reversed after treatment is stopped.
