Question from a student - DOBUTAMINE

[Savin'Em]

I know this is the CRNA forum, but I wanted to make sure I got a sound answer on my question. Why can there be a drop in BP with dobutamine gtts? I know that it increases cardiac output, but physiologically, what causes a BP drop?

I think the OP is asking about the physiological mechanisms of precipitous blood pressure drops due to dobutamine.
