Acute decompensated heart failure: Note: May consider for short-term use in patients with low cardiac index and hypotension or end-organ hypoperfusion (Ref).
Continuous infusion: IV: Initial: 2 to 5 mcg/kg/minute; titrate based on clinical end point (eg, systemic perfusion or end-organ perfusion); usual dosage range: 2 to 10 mcg/kg/minute; maximum dose: 20 mcg/kg/minute (Ref).
Inotropic support (off-label use): Note: In patients with shock (eg, sepsis) who fail to meet hemodynamic goals with vasopressor therapy (eg, norepinephrine), dobutamine may be added to vasopressor therapy if there is continued hypoperfusion despite volume resuscitation (Ref).
Continuous infusion: IV: Initial: 2 to 5 mcg/kg/minute; titrate based on clinical end point (eg, BP, end-organ perfusion); usual dosage range: 2 to 10 mcg/kg/minute; however, doses as low as 0.5 mcg/kg/min have been used in less severe cardiac decompensation; maximum dose: 20 mcg/kg/minute (Ref).

May coadminister atropine in patients who do not achieve target heart rate (Ref).
Stress echocardiography, viability assessment (diagnostic agent) (off-label use): Continuous infusion: IV: Initial: 2.5 mcg/kg/minute; increase at 5-minute intervals in 2.5 mcg/kg/minute increments until contractile response is noted, up to a maximum dose of 10 mcg/kg/minute (Ref).

Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in the US labeling): Pheochromocytoma.
Note: When utilized for stress testing, additional contraindications according to the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology include patients with recent (<2 to 4 days) myocardial infarction, unstable angina, severe aortic stenosis, atrial tachyarrhythmias with uncontrolled ventricular response, prior history of ventricular tachycardia, uncontrolled hypertension (>200/110 mm Hg), and aortic dissection or large aortic aneurysm (ASNC [Henzlova 2016]).
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Arrhythmias: Ventricular arrhythmias, including nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular arrhythmias, have been reported (Tisdale 1995). Observe closely for arrhythmias in patients with decompensated heart failure; sudden cardiac death has been observed (O’Connor 1999; Pickworth 1992; Young 2000). Ensure that ventricular rate is controlled in atrial fibrillation/flutter before initiating; may increase ventricular response rate.
• BP effects: An increase in BP is more common due to augmented cardiac output, but hypotension secondarily to vasodilation may occur at higher doses.
• Heart failure complications: An increased risk of hospitalization and death has been observed with prolonged use in New York Heart Association Class III/IV heart failure patients (O’Connor 1999).
• Tachycardia: May cause dose-related increases in heart rate.
• Ventricular ectopy: May exacerbate ventricular ectopy (dose related).
Disease-related concerns:
• Aortic stenosis: Ineffective therapeutically in the presence of mechanical obstruction such as severe aortic stenosis.
• Electrolyte imbalance: Correct electrolyte disturbances, especially hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, prior to use and throughout therapy to minimize the risk of arrhythmias (ACC/AHA/ESC [Zipes 2006]; Tisdale 1995).
• Hypovolemia: If needed, correct hypovolemia first to optimize hemodynamics.
• Active myocardial ischemia/myocardial infarction (post): Use with caution in patients with active myocardial ischemia or recent myocardial infarction; can increase myocardial oxygen demand.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors: Use with extreme caution in patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors; prolong hypertension may result from concurrent use.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Sodium sulfite: Product may contain sodium sulfite.
Special populations:
• Older adults: Use with caution in older adults; start at lower end of the dosage range.

Dobutamine lowers central venous pressure and wedge pressure but has little effect on pulmonary vascular resistance.
Parenteral: Continuous IV infusion: Vials (concentrated solution) must be diluted prior to administration; premixed IV solutions (1,000 mcg/mL, 2,000 mcg/mL, 4,000 mcg/mL) are available. Administer as a continuous IV infusion via an infusion device. Central line administration is preferred; if central line not available, may administer for a short duration through a peripheral IV catheter placed in a large vein or via intraosseous access (Ref). Administration into an umbilical arterial catheter is not recommended (Ref). Frequent monitoring of the IV catheter site is recommended to rapidly identify extravasation (Ref). Refer to institutional policies and procedures; catheter placement/size and vasopressor concentration may vary depending on institution.
Rate of infusion (mL/hour) = dose (mcg/kg/minute) × weight (kg) × 60 minutes/hour divided by the concentration (mcg/mL)
May be a vesicant; avoid extravasation. If extravasation occurs, stop infusion immediately; leave cannula/needle in place temporarily but do NOT flush the line; gently aspirate extravasated solution, then remove needle/cannula; elevate extremity; apply dry, warm compresses. Initiate phentolamine (or alternative antidote) in severe cases (Ref).
IV: Always administer via infusion device; administer into large vein.
May be a vesicant; avoid extravasation.
Extravasation management: If extravasation occurs, stop infusion immediately; leave cannula/needle in place temporarily but do NOT flush the line; gently aspirate extravasated solution, then remove needle/cannula; elevate extremity; apply dry, warm compresses; initiate phentolamine antidote in severe cases (eg, when local tissue concentration is high) in addition to supportive management (Ref).
Phentolamine: SUBQ: Dilute 5 to 10 mg in 10 mL NS and administer into extravasation site as soon as possible after extravasation; if IV catheter remains in place, administer initial dose intravenously through the infiltrated catheter; may repeat in 60 minutes if patient remains symptomatic (Ref).
Alternatives to phentolamine:
Nitroglycerin topical 2% ointment: Apply a 1-inch strip to the site of ischemia to cover affected area; may repeat every 8 hours as necessary (Ref).
Terbutaline: SUBQ: Infiltrate extravasation area with terbutaline 1 mg using a solution of terbutaline 1 mg diluted in 10 mL NS. May repeat dose after 15 minutes (Ref).
Note: Premixed solutions available.
IV infusion: 1,000 mcg/mL, 2,000 mcg/mL, or 4,000 mcg/mL
Note: Premixed solutions available.
IV infusion: 1,000 mcg/mL, 2,000 mcg/mL, or 4,000 mcg/mL
Premixed solution: Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Pink discoloration of solution indicates slight oxidation, but no significant loss of potency.
Vials: Store intact vials at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Following dilution in a compatible solution, use within 24 hours.
Short-term management of cardiac decompensation due to decreased contractility (provides inotropic support) (FDA approved in all ages). Note: Approved ages vary by product; consult product-specific labeling for details.

Dobutamine should not be used as a diagnostic agent for stress testing during pregnancy; use should be avoided when other options are available (ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018]). Medications used for the treatment of cardiac arrest in pregnancy are the same as in the non-pregnant female. Appropriate medications should not be withheld due to concerns of fetal teratogenicity. Dobutamine use during the post-resuscitation phase may be considered; however, the effects of inotropic support on the fetus should also be considered. Doses and indications should follow current Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) guidelines (AHA [Jeejeebhoy 2015 ]).
Blood pressure, ECG, heart rate, central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, urine output; if pulmonary artery catheter is in place, monitor cardiac index, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, right atrial pressure, and systemic vascular resistance.
Dobutamine, a racemic mixture, stimulates myocardial beta1-adrenergic receptors primarily by the (+) enantiomer and some alpha1 receptor agonism by the (-) enantiomer, resulting in increased contractility and heart rate, and stimulates both beta2- and alpha1-receptors in the vasculature. Although beta2 and alpha1 adrenergic receptors are also activated, the effects of beta2 receptor activation may equally offset or be slightly greater than the effects of alpha1 stimulation, resulting in some vasodilation in addition to the inotropic and chronotropic actions (Leier 1988; Majerus 1989; Ruffolo 1987). Lowers central venous pressure and wedge pressure, but has little effect on pulmonary vascular resistance (Leier 1977; Leier 1978).
Onset of action: IV: 1 to 10 minutes
Peak effect: 10 to 20 minutes
Metabolism: In tissues and hepatically (via conjugation and methylation) to inactive metabolites.
Half-life elimination: 2 minutes
Excretion: Urine (as inactive metabolites).
