Abstract

Aim: The current study was designed to evaluate the effects of propofol and midazolam on the vasodilatation due to dopamine in isolated rabbit renal artery. Although dopamine is often used in combination with either propofol or midazolam in the intensive care unit setting, no studies examined looked at what additive effect midazolam or propofol may have on the vasodilator effect of dopamine.
