AB  - FOCUS  POINTSThe  increased  metabolic  rate  of  children  comparing  to  adults  requires  a  different  selection  of  vasoactive  drugs  to  restore  and  maintain  the  oxygen  delivery  to  the  tissues  and  support  the  circulation  during  periods  of  stress  or  sepsis.Phenylephrine  has  a  very  narrow  therapeutic  spectrum  in  the  pediatric  population,  mostly  limited  for  patients  with  tetralogy  of  Fallot  (TOF)  and  hypertrophic  obstructive  cardiomyopathy  (HOCM)Milrinone  is  used  in  pediatric  patients  with  congenital  heart  disease,  cardiomyopathy,  and  heart  failure  and  in  patients  with  increased  pulmonary  vascular  resistance  (PVR).Dopamine  is  still  used  to  improve  tissue  perfusion  and  urine  output  in  neonates  and  premature  infants.Newborn  myocardium  contractility  depends  significantly  on  serum  calcium  levels.  Hypocalcemia  needs  to  be  promptly  identified  and  corrected.
