Sodium nitroprusside and nitroglycerin function by causing vasodilation through nitric oxide, which manipulates cGMP levels through guanylate cyclase.
12.
Nitrovasodilators which aren't nitrates include molsidomine and its active metabolite linsidomine, as well as sodium nitroprusside.
13.
The test used in the urine test strips is based on the reaction of sodium nitroprusside ( nitroferricyanide ).
14.
Nitroprusside is an inorganic compound with the complex dianion [ Fe ( CN ) 5 NO ] 2 ".
15.
In this reaction the acetoacetic acid in an alkali medium reacts with the sodium nitroprusside producing a magenta coloured complex:
16.
Some evidence suggests sodium nitroprusside use in critically ill children may be safe, even without monitoring of cyanide level.
17.
Sodium nitroprusside, a metabolite of which is thiocyanate, is however still used for the treatment of a hypertensive emergency.
18.
Nitroprusside is used intravenously for the treatment of hypertensive crises, heart failure, and lowering of blood pressure during surgery.
19.
In clinical trials, the safety profile of clevidipine was generally similar to sodium nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, or nicardipine in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
20.
Sodium nitroprusside is similarly used as a presumptive test for the presence of alkaloids ( amine-containing natural products ) common in illicit substances.
