Result: Demographic data showed no significant difference in age, body mass index (BMI), preoperative hemoglobin, ejection fraction (EF) and number of grafts in two groups. Also there was no significant difference regarding the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors and mean blood pressure(MBP). The findings indicated no significant difference in the fre-quency of inotrope usage[23(74.1%) vs. 25(80.6%); p=0.381] and frequency of IABP insertion [2(6.4%) vs. 3(9.6%); p=0.187] between two groups . But the lenght of the need to inotropes in opium dependent patients was significantly lower in comparison with nonde-pendent patients (26.8 9.9 vs. 36.1 17.45; p=0.042). Objective: to compare the need to inotropic agents in opium dependent (OD) and non de-pendent (NOD) patients during the perioperative period in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Conclusion: Although the length of the need to inotropic support in non opium dependent was longer as compared to opium dependent patients, frequency of inotrope need and specific inotrope usage and also frequency of IABP insertion was not different between the two groups.
