Salbutamol may increase myocardial demand more than nitroprusside after cardiac surgery; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does continuous intravenous infusion of salbutamol compared to nitroprusside improve haemodynamic profiles in patients after cardiac surgical operations?
Nitroprusside is preferred over salbutamol after cardiac operations due to salbutamol causing greater increases in heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption.
