Key result
Sublingual nifedipine is linked to normalized BP within 1 hour in pediatric acute hypertension.
Why the study?
Does sublingual nifedipine reduce blood pressure in infants and children with acute hypertension?
Observational (n=12)
Does sublingual nifedipine reduce blood pressure in infants and children with acute hypertension?
p-value: p=<0.05
Sublingual nifedipine effectively and safely reduces acute blood pressure rises to normal values within 1 hour in infants and children.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Sublingual nifedipine may normalize acute pediatric hypertension within 1 hour; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Rascher et al. (1986) conducted an observational in Acute Childhood Hypertension (n=12). Sublingual nifedipine was evaluated on Blood pressure and hormonal responses (p=<0.05). Sublingual nifedipine reduced blood pressure to normal values within 1 hour in infants and children with acute hypertension, with a significant rise in plasma noradrenaline (p<0.05).
