Dopexamine is a synthetic vasoactive catecholamine with beneficial microcirculatory properties. ⋯ Patients undergoing major abdominal surgery may profit from prophylactic perioperative administration of dopexamine hydrochloride in the form of improved haemodynamics and oxygenation as well as beneficial influence on important regulators of organ blood flow.
