Levosimendan in perioperative and critical care patients
Current Opinion in Anesthesiology, 07/14/09

Levosimendan should also be considered as an adjunct drug for the treatment of cardiogenic shock. Further experience and controlled studies are needed to support the use of levosimendan for other perturbations in critical care and perioperative medicine.
