Hemodynamic support: Neonates: Continuous IV or intraosseous infusion: 2 to 20 mcg/kg/minute; titrate gradually by 5 to 10 mcg/kg/minute increments until optimal response is obtained (Ref). Note: Dopamine has a dose-dependent effect; low doses (<5 mcg/kg/minute) augment renal blood flow and urine output; intermediate doses (5 to 15 mcg/kg/minute) increase renal blood flow, heart rate, cardiac contractility, cardiac output, and blood pressure; high doses (>15 mcg/kg/minute) result in vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure (Ref).
Hemodynamic support: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Continuous IV or intraosseous infusion: 2 to 20 mcg/kg/minute; titrate gradually by 5 to 10 mcg/kg/minute increments until optimal response is obtained (Ref). Note: Dopamine has a dose-dependent effect; doses at lower end of this range are preferred, as inotropic actions predominate at lower doses and vasoconstrictive actions predominate at higher doses (Ref).
(For additional information see "Dopamine: Drug information")
Note: Hemodynamic effects of dopamine are dose dependent (however, this is relative and there is overlap of clinical effects between dosing ranges) (Ref).
Low dose: Augments renal dopamine receptors, which may increase renal blood flow and urine output. The use of low-dose dopamine to prevent or treat acute kidney injury is not recommended.
Intermediate dose: Dopamine and beta-adrenergic effects predominate, resulting in increased renal blood flow, heart rate, cardiac contractility, and cardiac output.
High dose: Alpha-adrenergic effects begin to predominate, resulting in vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure, in addition to increased heart rate, cardiac contractility, and cardiac output due to beta-adrenergic effects.
Bradycardia or atrioventricular block, symptomatic (unresponsive to atropine) (off-label use):
Continuous infusion: IV: Initial: 5 mcg/kg/minute; increase by 5 mcg/kg/minute every 2 minutes until desired effect; maximum dose: 20 mcg/kg/minute (Ref).
Hypotension or shock:
Cardiogenic shock (alternative agent):
Note: Typically, not the preferred initial agent in cardiogenic shock; consider other inotropic and/or vasopressor options; caution with the use of dopamine due to increased arrhythmias and possibly mortality in this population (Ref). Optimal goal of therapy not well established, but typically titrate to maintain end-organ perfusion (Ref).
Continuous infusion: IV: Usual dosage range: 0.5 to 20 mcg/kg/minute; titrate based on clinical end point (eg, end-organ perfusion) (Ref).
Septic shock and other vasodilatory shock states (alternative agent):
Note: Not recommended for septic shock except as an alternative to norepinephrine in patients with bradycardia who have a low risk of tachyarrhythmias (Ref). Compared to norepinephrine, dopamine is associated with an increased risk of tachyarrhythmias and potentially worse outcomes (eg, increased mortality, kidney failure) (Ref). In general, maintain goal mean arterial pressure (MAP) (eg, ~65 mm Hg); consider use if patient is in shock or has hypoperfusion during or after fluid resuscitation (Ref).
Continuous infusion: IV: Initial: 2 to 5 mcg/kg/minute; titrate to goal MAP up to a dose of 20 mcg/kg/minute (Ref).
Post–cardiac arrest shock (alternative agent):
Note: Typically, not the preferred initial agent in post–cardiac arrest shock due to risk of tachyarrhythmias; consider other inotropic and/or vasopressor options (Ref). Optimal goal of therapy is not well established, but typically titrate to MAP >65 mm Hg and preferably >80 mm Hg to optimize cerebral and end-organ perfusion (Ref).
Continuous infusion: IV: Usual dosage range: 5 to 20 mcg/kg/minute; titrate based on clinical end points (eg, MAP, end-organ perfusion) (Ref).
Inotropic support:
Note: May consider in patients with severe systolic dysfunction with decreased end-organ perfusion (Ref).
Continuous infusion: IV: 5 to 15 mcg/kg/minute; doses at lower end of this range are preferred as inotropic actions predominate at lower doses and vasoconstrictive actions predominate at higher doses (Ref).
The following adverse drug reactions are derived from product labeling unless otherwise specified.
Postmarketing:
Cardiovascular: Angina pectoris, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, cardiac conduction disorder, ectopic beats, hypertension, hypotension, palpitations, tachycardia, vasoconstriction, ventricular arrhythmia, widened QRS complex on ECG
Dermatologic: Peripheral gangrene (with prolonged or high dose, can occur with low doses with concomitant occlusive vascular disease), piloerection
Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting
Genitourinary: Azotemia
Nervous system: Anxiety, headache

Pheochromocytoma.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Arrhythmias: May cause increases in heart rate, increasing the risk of tachycardia and other tachyarrhythmias including ventricular arrhythmias (Tisdale 1995). In heart transplant candidates, institute appropriate measures to protect patient against risks of sudden cardiac death (Young 2000).
• Extravasation: Vesicant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to and during infusion. Avoid extravasation; infuse into a large vein if possible. Avoid infusion into leg veins. Watch IV site closely. If extravasation occurs, infiltrate the area with diluted phentolamine (5 to 10 mg in 10 mL of saline) with a fine hypodermic needle. Phentolamine should be administered as soon as possible after extravasation is noted to prevent sloughing/necrosis (Stefanos 2023).
Disease-related concerns:
• Cardiovascular disease: Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease, cardiac arrhythmias and/or occlusive vascular disease.
• Active myocardial ischemia/post-myocardial infarction: Use with caution in patients with active myocardial ischemia or recent myocardial infarction; may increase myocardial oxygen consumption.
• 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).
• Shock: The use of dopamine in adult patients with shock (majority of patients had septic shock) demonstrated a higher incidence of adverse events (eg, tachyarrhythmias) (De Backer 2010). Higher 28-day mortality was also seen in patients with septic shock with the use of dopamine as compared to norepinephrine (De Backer 2012; Vasu 2012).
Dosage form specific issues:
• Sodium metabisulfite: Product may contain sodium metabisulfite.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Assure adequate circulatory volume to minimize need for vasoconstrictors when used in hemodynamic support. Avoid hypertension; monitor blood pressure closely and adjust infusion rate.

Parenteral: Continuous IV infusion: Vials (concentrated solution) must be diluted prior to administration; premixed IV solutions (800 mcg/mL, 1,600 mcg/mL, 3,200 mcg/mL) are available. Administer as a continuous IV infusion with the use of an infusion pump or an intraosseous infusion until IV access can be obtained in pediatric patients (Ref). Administer into large vein to minimize the possibility of extravasation (central line administration); administration into an umbilical arterial catheter is not recommended (Ref). If central line is not available, may administer for a short duration through a peripheral IV catheter placed in a large vein or via intraosseous access using a more dilute solution or with a second carrier fluid; once central access is available, begin central line infusion and wait for pharmacologic effect prior to stopping peripheral administration (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. Do not administer sodium bicarbonate (or any alkaline solution) through an IV line containing dopamine; inactivation of dopamine may occur (Ref). Avoid abrupt discontinuation; reduce infusion flow rate slowly.
Rate of infusion (mL/hour) = [dose (mcg/kg/minute) × weight (kg) × 60 minutes/hour] divided by concentration (mcg/mL)
Vesicant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to and during infusion; avoid extravasation. If extravasation occurs, stop infusion immediately and disconnect (leave cannula/needle in place); gently aspirate extravasated solution (do NOT flush the line); remove needle/cannula; elevate extremity. Initiate phentolamine (or alternative) antidote (see Management of Drug Extravasations for more details). Apply dry warm compresses (Ref).
IV: Administer as a continuous infusion via an infusion pump. Central line administration is preferred; extravasation may cause severe ischemic necrosis. If central line is not available, may administer for a short duration (<72 hours) through a peripheral IV catheter placed in a large vein at a proximal site (eg, in or proximal to antecubital fossa). 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.
Vesicant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to and during infusion; 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 (or alternative) antidote (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 the affected areas; may repeat every 8 hours as necessary (Ref).
Terbutaline:
Large extravasations: SUBQ: Infiltrate affected 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).
Small extravasations: SUBQ: Infiltrate affected extravasation area with 0.5 mg using a solution of terbutaline 1 mg diluted in 1 mL NS; may repeat dose after 15 minutes (Ref).
Note: Premixed solutions available.
IV infusion: 1,600 mcg/mL or 3,200 mcg/mL.
Note: Premixed solutions available.
IV infusion: 800 mcg/mL, 1,600 mcg/mL, or 3,200 mcg/mL.
Store vials and premixed single-use containers at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Avoid excessive heat; brief exposure of premixed single-use containers of up to 40°C (104°F) does not adversely affect the product. Protect from freezing. Dopamine has been found to be stable for a minimum of 24 hours after dilution in a compatible solution. Avoid contact or simultaneous administration with alkalies (including sodium bicarbonate), oxidizing agents, or iron salts.

Medications required for the treatment of critically ill pregnant patients should not be withheld due to concerns of fetal teratogenicity (ACOG 2019; AHA [Jeejeebhoy 2015]). Medications used for the treatment of cardiac arrest in pregnancy are the same as in the nonpregnant patients. Dopamine use during the postresuscitation phase may be considered; however, the effects of vasoactive medications on the fetus should also be considered. Doses and indications should follow current Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support 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, systemic vascular resistance, right atrial pressure, and pulmonary vascular resistance; monitor for skin color and temperature changes.
Stimulates both adrenergic and dopaminergic receptors, lower doses are mainly dopaminergic stimulating and produce renal and mesenteric vasodilation, higher doses also are both dopaminergic and beta1-adrenergic stimulating and produce cardiac stimulation and renal vasodilation; large doses stimulate alpha-adrenergic receptors
Note: Children: Dopamine has exhibited nonlinear kinetics in children; with dose changes, may not achieve steady-state for ~1 hour rather than 20 minutes.
Onset of action: Adults: Within 5 minutes.
Duration: Adults: <10 minutes.
Metabolism: Renal, hepatic, plasma; 75% to inactive metabolites by monoamine oxidase and 25% to norepinephrine (active).
Half-life elimination: ~2 minutes.
Excretion: Urine (as metabolites).
Clearance: Neonates: Varies and appears to be age related; clearance is more prolonged with combined hepatic and kidney dysfunction.
