Measurements of oxygen saturation in the hepatic vein have revealed oxygen desaturation in a subset of septic patients, suggesting that hepatosplanchnic oxygen supply may be inadequate in these patients, even when more global parameters appear adequate. 19

Dopexamine stimulates β2 adrenoreceptors and DA1 and DA2 receptors and hence, may restore organ flow because of its vasodilating properties. 159 It is theorized that dopexamine may increase hepatosplanchnic perfusion, either alone or in combination with other vasoactive agents, and may thus potentially mitigate some of the untoward effects and sequelae of sepsis and septic shock.
