Cafedrine/theodrenaline in anaesthesia : Influencing factors in restoring arterial blood pressure.

CONCLUSION: Cafedrine/theodrenaline quickly restores MAP during anaesthesia. Female gender is associated with higher effectiveness, while heart failure and beta-blocker administration lower the anti-hypotonic effect. Prospective studies in defined patient populations are warranted to further characterise the effect of cafedrine/theodrenaline. PMID: 25757552 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
