What Interventions are Used to Manage Hemodynamic Disorders?
Management strategies vary depending on the specific disorder but commonly include:
- Pharmacological Interventions: Use of inotropes like dopamine or dobutamine to support cardiac function. - [Fluid Management](): Careful administration of fluids to maintain adequate intravascular volume without causing overload. - [Mechanical Ventilation](): For conditions like Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be necessary. - [Surgical Interventions](): Procedures like ligation of the ductus arteriosus or complex surgeries for congenital heart defects.
