Does induced hypotension with sodium nitroprusside and trimetaphan reduce blood loss in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis?
Induced hypotension using sodium nitroprusside and trimetaphan significantly reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements during posterior spinal fusion for scoliosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Induced hypotension was associated with lower blood loss in scoliosis fusion; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials.
