The Effects of Dobutamine in Septic Shock: An Updated Narrative Review of Clinical and Experimental Studies
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsFirst of all, thanks for inviting me to review this manuscript called: "The Effects of Dobutamine in Patients with Septic Shock: An Updated Narrative Review".
This review is very complete from a pharmacological and physiological point of view. I have no real comments. However, maybe, some figures to explain how the monitorage of the response of dobutamine could be done, and a table summarizing the paragraph on the effect of dobutamine in septic patients could improve the global understanding of the manuscript.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe authors summarized the effects of dobutamine. They reviewed dobutamine effects on different pathological conditions with both clinical and experimental studies. It is a valuable review since dobutamine is one of most commonly used inotropic agents. I think the title should be changed because title reflects that the review only discusses the effects of dobutamine on septic shock patients but the review includes both experimental and clinical studies.
Comments on the Quality of English LanguageThere are misspelled words in the manuscript (like inotroe in 32. line) they should be corrected.
