Abstract:Background: Milrinone is commonly prescribed to critically ill patients that need extracorporeal life support such as ECMO and CRRT. Currently, the effect of ECMO and CRRT on the disposition of milrinone is unknown.
Methods: Ex vivo ECMO and CRRT circuits were primed with human blood, then dosed with milrinone to study drug extraction by the circuits. Milrinone percent recovery over time was calculated to determine circuit component interaction with milrinone.
Results : Milrinone did not exhibit measurable in… Show more
