In the IVOIRE trial, there was no evidence that HVHF at 70 mL/kg/h, when compared with contemporary SVHF at 35 mL/kg/h, leads to a reduction of 28-day mortality or contributes to early improvements in haemodynamic profile or organ function. HVHF, as applied in this trial, cannot be recommended for treatment of septic shock complicated by AKI.

As compared to norepinephrine-induced hypertension, dobutamine-induced high CI did not reduce the rate of vasospasm in SAH patients. Dobutamine may reduce durations of mechanical ventilation and ICU LOS.
