ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the pharmacologic management of heart failure (HF) in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
Design: Prospective and observational study.
Setting: A PICU of a general hospital of Mexico City.
Patients: All the patients with HF admitted to the PICU during a year were evaluated.
Interventions: None.
Results: Fifty patients with HF were admitted to the PICU. Of these patients 12% were received dobutamine, 38% dobutamine/dopamine, 22% noradrenaline, 10% adrenaline, 10% amrinone and 8% vasodilators.
Conclusion: Dobutamine is the drug used more frequently in the treatment of HF of PICU patients in our hospital.
