Does sodium nitroprusside decrease arterial oxygenation during treatment for intraoperative hypertension?
Sodium nitroprusside administration for intraoperative hypertension may be associated with decreased arterial oxygenation.
May warrant oxygenation monitoring with nitroprusside; leaves open causality and clinical relevance.
