i am working in nicu as a resident. i received a preterm newborn 33 wks born after difficult and prolonged labour. patient had mean BP around 25 after birth. then my teacher asked to administer 2 bolus of normal saline of 10ml/kg. and after that she advised to add adrenaline infusion @0.1 mcg/kg/min. Is it better idea to start with adrenaline rather than dopamoine?
