Milrinone in ICU

Inotrope (nonadrenergic, PDE3 inhibitor)

Milrinone Primacor

Optional loading dose: 50 mcg/kg over 10 minutes (usually not given) 0.125 to 0.75 mcg/kg/minute

Alternative for short-term cardiac output augmentation to maintain organ perfusion in cardiogenic shock refractory to other agents.

Increases cardiac contractility and modestly increases heart rate at high doses; may cause peripheral vasodilation, hypotension, and/or ventricular arrhythmia.

Renally cleared; dose adjustment in renal impairment needed.

Must be diluted; eg, a usual concentration is 40 mg in 200 mL D5W (200 micrograms/mL); use of a commercially available pre-diluted solution is preferred.
