Liberal Versus Restrictive Use of Dobutamine in Cardiac Surgery (DOBUTACS)
Liberal Versus Restrictive Dobutamine in Cardiac Surgery (DOBUTACS): a Prospective Randomized Non-inferiority Clinical Trial
Inotropic agents are usually administered in the postoperative period after cardiac surgery. In most cases, dobutamine is administered routinely, for the probable occurrence of myocardial dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass or a low cardiac output with minimal evidence of altered tissue perfusion.
Recent data show that inotropic agents are used in 35-52% of cardiac surgeries in the perioperative period. However, the use of inotropic agents may be associated with adverse events, including myocardial ischemia, by elevation in myocardial oxygen consumption and the imbalance between supply and consumption, and tachyarrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia, ventricular tachyarrhythmias), primarily due to the β1-adrenergic effect.
This study is a non-inferiority clinical randomized study aiming to compare the use of dobutamine in a liberal strategy (in all patients at the time of withdrawal of CPB) with a restrictive strategy (based on clinical and hemodynamic evidence of low cardiac output syndrome associated with altered tissue perfusion). Our primary hypothesis is that the restrictive use of dobutamine is as safe and effective as the liberal one.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Liberal dobutamine group
All patients will receive dobutamine at the cardiopulmonary bypass weaning
|
All patients will receive dobutamine at the cardiopulmonary bypass weaning.
|
Active Comparator: Restrictive dobutamine group
Patients will only receive dobutamine if they present clinical signs of cardiogenic shock
|
Patients will receive dobutamine during the first 8 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass weaning only if they have a cardiac index of ≤ 2.5L/min/m2 and at least one sign of tissue hypoperfusion: ScvO2 ≤ 70% and / or urine output < 2 mL/Kg/h despite adequate fluid replacement.
