Article Synopsis
- Two common intravenous medications for quick blood pressure control, nicardipine and clevidipine, were evaluated for their efficacy and safety in a hospital setting.
- A study involving 100 matched patient pairs found that clevidipine led to a significantly faster time to reach the target blood pressure range compared to nicardipine (20 minutes vs. 34 minutes).
- Although the percentage of time within the target blood pressure range was similar for both medications, nicardipine showed a non-significant trend toward a higher rate of hypotension.
