    This document provides guidelines for preparing different inotrope infusions including adrenaline, dopamine, dobutamine, and noradrenaline. It lists the milligrams of drug added to saline and corresponding infusion rates based on patient body weight. A new guideline is also presented for preparing noradrenaline infusions at single, double, and quadrupled strengths without considering patient weight, and lists the maximum hourly infusion rates for each.
