    Dopamine hydrochloride (Intropin) is an inotropic agent used to treat hemodynamic imbalances caused by shock, heart failure, or cardiac issues. It works by increasing blood pressure, cardiac output, and renal blood flow at low to medium doses but can increase the risk of arrhythmias and high blood pressure at high doses. Nurses must closely monitor patients' vital signs, IV site, urine output, and weight when administering dopamine and be prepared to treat potential side effects involving the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.
