Abstract

Introduction: Cardiac surgery patients often need inotropic support to establish hemodynamic stability and adequate oxygen supply. The management of patients with coronary vascular disease can be challenging especially in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and critical left main or severe triple vessel disease. Methods: Article has descriptive character and presents a case report of 58 years old male patient who was admitted to our hospital due to planned coronary bypass surgery. Results: Applying inotropic support, IABP and adequate volume management during surgery and post surgery period in ICU has led to hemodynamic stability. Leading to the recovery of the patient and hospital discharge. Discussion: Given the availability of the treatment options, inotropic and mechanical support played a major role to produce the positive outcome in the presented case. Many factors were unfavourable, extreme hypotension, high lactate and creatining levels, mechanical ventilation and related complications.

Key words: coronary artery disease, inotropic drugs, intra-aortic balloon pump.
