Abstract
The report describes a patient during induction of anaesthesia for coronary artery by-pass grafting, in whom the infusion of dobutamine at a rate of 5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 resulted in unanticipated severe hypertension. The exaggerated response may be attributed to cimetidine--dobutamine interaction.
