Patients in septic shock require rapid evaluation and prompt initiation of therapy with appropriate antibiotics and fluids. When fluids do not restore perfusion, dopamine (Dopastat, Inotropin) therapy is begun. Some patients who fail to respond to these measures will respond to a combination of low-dose dopamine and regulation of blood pressure with norepinephrine (Levophed).

A 62-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with chest pain, cough, subjective fever and chills. Symptoms had begun on the previous evening, three days after minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery (MICAB). A presumptive diagnosis of postpericardiotomy syndrome (postcardiac injury syndrome) was made and the patient admitted. This new, minimally invasive surgery allows discharge on the second postoperative day. Emergency physicians should be aware of this procedure since probably there will be increasing performance of MICAB procedures and patients will present to the ED with postoperative complications.
