Management of Incidental Uncontrolled Elevation of Intraoperative Blood Pressure: A Comparative Study on Nitroglycerine Versus Dexmedetomidine Infusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uncontrolled elevation of intraoperative blood pressure can result in deleterious effects with increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

Objectives

We aimed to compare nitroglycerine infusion with dexmedetomidine infusion in controlling accidental intraoperative uncontrolled hypertension.

Methods

This comparative study was conducted on 73 hypertensive patients undergoing cancer surgeries who experienced uncontrolled intraoperative hypertension. The data of 38 patients were retrieved from the medical records for the nitroglycerine group and 35 patients were prospectively enrolled for the dexmedetomidine group. Group N received nitroglycerine infusion (0.3 - 1 µg/kg/min), while group D received dexmedetomidine infusion (0.2 - 0.7 µg/kg/h).
