Previously, we demonstrated that dobutamine was more effective than dopamine for the improvement of diaphragmatic contractility during hypercapnia. Here, we studied the effects of different dobutamine infusion rates on hypercapnic depression of diaphragmatic contractility in pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs.
