conclusions nitroglycerine may be a safe and effective adjuvant therapeutic for pain reduction in patients under propofol injection. hence, its use for reduction of propofol injection-induced pain is recommended. results the pain severity in nitroglycerine group was significantly lower compared with the placebo group (p < 0.0001). moreover, the local adverse reactions were observed only in thre...

on Puerperal Eclampsia. In one of the issues of the B. M. J. or Lancet last year an article appeared strongly advocating nitroglycerine liypodermically and by the mouth, specially the former. One very severe case recovered in this hospital under this treatment. Delivery was effected as rapidly as possible. Mins. ii of a 1% Soln. of Nitroglycerine were injected every two or three hours. Chlorofo...

Pulmonary hypertension continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality, despite new treatments. Since inhaled nitric oxide has been reported to be effective in some cases, we investigated using nebulized nitroglycerine to treat pulmonary hypertension in children with congenital heart disease. Four children (ages 6-72 months) with severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to congenital he...

BACKGROUND Transthoracic echocardiography-assessed coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) evaluates coronary microvascular arterial function. Coronary flow velocity measurements at baseline and during hyperemia are used to calculate CFVR. Adenosine infusion induces hyperemia but it is not known if it causes a maximal response. We hypothesized that pre-treatment with nitroglycerine before adenosi...

BACKGROUND The use of Propofol often results in pain upon injection, which is sometimes very distressing for patients. Many patients report some degree of pain or discomfort on injection with propofol. Injection-induced pain during induction of anesthesia can result in patient's discomfort. OBJECTIVES This study was performed to evaluate the effects of nitroglycerine on pain severity in patie...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare esmolol to nitroglycerine in terms of effectiveness in controlling hypotension during nasal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS After approval by our institutional Ethics Committee, 40 patients were recruited and randomized into two drug groups: esmolol (Group E) and nitroglycerine (Group N). In group E, a bolus dose of 500 μg/kg esmolol was administe...

conclusions in patients with severe preeclampsia undergoing cesarean delivery, a continuous iv infusion of nitroglycerine was able to attenuate the cardiovascular response to intubation to a greater extent than the use of sublingual nifedipine or iv hydralazine, without significant adverse effects on the newborn. results in contrast to those in group nif and group h, the patients in group ntg s...
