Abstract:
Sodium nidroprusside has recently come. into widespread usage, not only for the treatment of severe hypertension but also for induced hypotension during surgery. Induced hypotension was produced during general anesthesia by the infusion of sodium nidruopsside in 0. 0l% solution, in two patients undergoing ligation and division of patent ductus arteriosua with pulmonary hypertension. In these cases, no acidotic tendency or CN toxicity were seen and conditions were satisfactory for correction of the PDA.
