A, The inotrope score, which reflects the doses of dopamine, dobutamine, and epinephrine, was significantly higher prior to protocol implementation. B, The vasoactive inotrope score, which additionally reflects the use of milrinone, norepinephrine, and vasopressin, was significantly higher following protocol implementation. C, The volume of blood products administered was similar between groups, as were chest drain output (D) and urine output (E) per 12‐hour shift. Gray bars, lines, dots, and error bars reflect preimplementation data (n=32); black represents postimplementation data (n=24). Data are means, errors are SEM. ***P<0.001, **P<0.01.
