Thanks Dr Prasanna,
   
  Are there any studies which compared milrinone versus other inotropes which showed the superiority of milrinone regarding outcomes?

  Yes, works well in patients with dysfunctional RV's and stiff LV's. I use
them in patients with severe PH, RV dysfunction and tetrology patients.
They reduce inotropic usage and ICU time.
