Sodium Nitroprusside–Enhanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Improves Blood Flow by Pulmonary Vasodilation Leading to Higher Oxygen Requirements

Summary: Sodium nitroprusside–enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation has shown superior resuscitation rates and neurologic outcomes in large animal models supporting the need for a randomized human clinical trial. This study is the first to show nonselective pulmonary vasodilation as a potential mec...
