Interventions

Levosimendan:After completing the examination, the enrolled subjects were treated with levosimendan, with a starting dose of 0.1 µ G/kg/min, without limiting the side effects of speed (such as hypoten
Dobutamine:After completing the examination, the enrolled subjects were treated with dobutamine, with a starting dose of 5 µ G/kg/min, if MAP can be maintained at a normal level (MAP = 65mmHg), mainta
