1 MARSHALLTOWN MEDICAL & SURGICAL CENTER Marshalltown, Iowa CARE OF PATIENT POLICY & PROCEDURES Policy Number: 4:52 Subject: Purpose: Policy: Dobutamine Cardiac Perfusion Scan To administer medication to evaluate the status of myocardiac perfusion. The RN, under physician supervision, will assess, administer medication, and monitor the patient undergoing cardiac testing. Additional Information: 1. There are many patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease who cannot exercise on a treadmill and require pharmacologic induced stress testing. 2. Dobutamine drip graph and THR percentage chart accompany this procedure to assist staff with calculations. 3. Dobutamine infusion should be stopped for the following reasons: a. severe or progressive angina b. significant arrhythmias c. severe hypertension SBP >220 DBP >120 d. hypotension B/P decreases >30 mm Hg e. clinically significant ECG changes f. Attainment of THR - 85% g. Maximum Dobutamine dose - 50 mcg/kg/min with consideration 4. Monitor patient for the following adverse reactions: a. feeling of anxiety, shakiness, dizziness b. palpitations c. angina d. arrhythmias e. headache, nausea, vomiting f. hypertension g. hypotension Equipment List: IV infusion pump IV tray Emergency drug box CPR cart Oxygen Suction Portable monitor Dobutamine from pharmacy Timer Dobutamine drip graph Dobutamine Stress Test worksheet Dobutamine Protocol for use of Esmolol, Atropine, and Lidocaine

2 Dobutamine Cardiac Perfusion Scan Page 2 Content: Procedure Steps RN is responsible 1. Patient will be weighed by the nurse or technologist on admission to x-ray. 2. The target heart rate will be calculated after patient's age has been confirmed. 3. Procedure discussed with patient/family by staff and written consent obtained. 4. All patients are to have an IV started saline loc Jelco #22 or greater with 250cc D5W 5. Patient should be connected to monitor to obtain pulse rate, and blood pressure for baseline assessment. 6. Obtain baseline EKG prior to the administration of Dobutamine and every two minutes during the infusion and at1, 3, and 5 minutes after Dobutamine is discontinued. 7. Have Esmolol, Atropine, and Lidocaine dosages calculated and ready for use 8. Dobutamine will be administered as outlined on the Dobutamine drip graph or as ordered by the physician. 9. Pulse rate, and blood pressure will be obtained and documented at the end of each two minute stage. 10. Continue Dobutamine infusion for one minute after the radio tracer is injected or as ordered by the physician. 11. Record O 2 sat, pulse rate, and blood pressure at 1, 3, 5 minute intervals after the Dobutamine is discontinued or until patient vital signs return to baseline. 12. The IV fluids will be discontinued and the heplock flushed and kept in place until patient vitals return to near baseline. Key Points 1. The pharmacy will mix the Dobutamine - 50 mg Dobutamine in 50 D5W or 1 mg/ml. 2. The THR is 85% of max. per IHC chart. *The physician may request a higher % THR. 4. A T-connector should be used to provide an additional port for the injection of a radio tracer. 5. Baseline assessment can be used for future reference. 6. The Nuclear Medicine Technologist will do the initial EKG and continue EKG s throughout the test. 7. Refer to the Dobutamine protocol for usage guidelines. 8. The nurse will calculate the amount of Dobutamine (ug/kg/min) according to the patient's weight using the Dobutamine drip graph. The radio tracer will be injected by a Licensed Nuclear Medicine Technologist at the physician s request. (usually at peak HR). The Dobutamine drip will be piggybacked to the main line IV. An infusion pump must be used in the administration of the Dobutamine. 12. The nurse will discontinue the heplock after patient s vitals return to baseline.

7 Dobutamine Cardiac Perfusion Scan Page 7 DOBUTAMINE PROTOCOL Emergency Medications 1. WHEN DO YOU GIVE ATROPINE? A. Beginning 30mcg/kg/min level with no noticable increase in heart rate B. Heart rate is gradually decreased instead of increased C. Atropine 0.2mg-0.5mg IVP - observe monitor closely. May repeat dose of.2 mg to maximum dose of 2.0 mg per physician s order. 2. USES OF ESMOLOL: A. Heart rate has not started decreasing 3 minutes after Dobutamine was turned off. B. Images/echo have been obtained and patient is very uncomfortable with high heart rate. C. Patient begins having chest pain at higher doses with EKG changes. D. Esmolol 20 mg (2 cc or mg mg/kg) - may repeat dose X 1 five to ten minutes later, if patient has persistent symptoms or heart rate remains elevated 3. USES FOR LIDOCAINE PVC's are common with many of our patients. Treatment of their arrhythmias is usually unnecessary. Many times the arrhythmias are fleeting. Treatment with Lidocaine may be necessary if the patient is symptomatic with the arrhythmias. Treatment may also be beneficial for the PEAK images. Because of the computer triggering from the EKG's QRS complex, many PVC's will interfere. Lidocaine 50mg may be used to suppress the PVC's. P:\CAREPT\cpt4.52r2crk.doc
