During the administration of dobutamine injection, as with any adrenergic agent, ECG and blood pressure should be continuously monitored. In addition, pulmonary wedge pressure and cardiac output should be monitored whenever possible to aid in the safe and effective infusion of dobutamine hydrochloride. Hypovolemia should be corrected with suitable volume expanders before treatment with dobutamine is instituted. No improvement may be observed in the presence of marked mechanical obstruction, such as severe valvular aortic stenosis.
