  17. Should a moratorium be placed on sublingual nifedipine capsules given more hypertensive emergencies and pseudo emergencies?Gross et al: JAMA 1996:276;1342-3

  18. Nicardipine IV Dosing (PI) • Initiation: 5 mg/hr (50 ml/hr) • Titration for gradual BP reduction:  rate 2.5 mg/hr (25 ml/hr) q 15 min to a maximum of 15 mg/hr (150 ml/hr) until blood pressure reduction achieved • For more rapid BP reduction:  rate 2.5 mg/hr (25 ml/hr) q 5 min to a maximum of 15 mg/hr (150 ml/hr) until blood pressure reduction achieved • Maintenance: Following achievement of BP goal, adjust infusion rate to 3 mg/hr, (30 ml/hr)

  19. Nicardipine IV Dosing (FRANCE) • For hypertensive urgency, Rx should be adapted so BP decrease is not >25% in 1 hr to avoid myocardial, cerebral or renal ischemia. • Rapid effect: 1 mg/min to 10 mg • Progressive effect: 8-15 mg/h to 30 min, then 2 to 4 mg/h maintenance • Infant: 1 to 2 mg/m2 of body surface in 5 minutes.

  20. Clevidipine in CABG: a dose-finding study. Bailey JM et al:Anesthesiology 2002;96:1086 • Clevidipine, an ultrashort acting agent, decreased MAP and SVR, without changes in heart rate, CVP, PAOP, or CI at increasing doses. • The early phase of drug disposition had a half-life of 0.6 min. The context-sensitive half-time <2 min for up to 12 h of administration. • CONCLUSION: Clevidipine is a dihydropyridine CCB that lowers BP without changing heart rate, CI, or cardiac filling pressures.

  21. Fenoldopam (Corlopam) • Selective vascular DA1 agonist • Produces arterial vasodilation, increases renal perfusion, and natruresis • Short duration of action/half life • Approved in June 1997 • Expense and potency are major issues
