Abstract

Hypotension is a common clinical problem in the intensive care unit, and intravenous inotropic or vasopressor therapy is often necessary. In dialysis-dependent patients the process of tapering the dose of intravenous inotropics can be complicated by refractory hypotension. The two cases described in this report outline the successful introduction of midodrine, an oral α1-receptor agonist, in two patients suffering from refractory hypotension.
