May guide vasodilator selection in postcardiac surgery pulmonary hypertension; leaves open additive effects on outcomes.
Do inhaled prostacyclin and inhaled milrinone have additive pulmonary vasodilatory effects without systemic effects in postcardiac surgical patients with pulmonary hypertension?
Inhaled prostacyclin and milrinone can induce selective pulmonary vasodilation without causing systemic hypotension in postcardiac surgical patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Haraldsson et al. (2001) studied this question.
