---|---|
Experimental: clevidipine
Clevidipine (0.5 mg/mL in 20% lipid emulsion) was initiated after insertion of an arterial line upon the occurrence of perioperative hypertension, as determined by the investigator, and was administered intravenously (IV) at an initial infusion rate of 0.4 μg/kg/min (non weight-based equivalent is 2 mg/h). Clevidipine was titrated to blood pressure lowering effect by doubling increments approximately every 90 seconds up to a maximum infusion rate of 3.2 μg/kg/min (16 mg/h). Infusion rates above 3.2 μg/kg/min were permitted up to the maximum infusion rate of 8.0 μg/kg/min. Treatment was maintained as long as was deemed clinically necessary or until discharge from the ICU. Infusion rates between 4.4 and 8.0 μg/kg/min were to be administered for no more than 2 hours.

Drug: clevidipine
Other Name: clevidipine, Cleviprex |
Active Comparator: sodium nitroprusside
Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was initiated after insertion of an arterial line upon the occurrence of perioperative hypertension, as determined by the investigator, and was administered intravenously as per institutional practice. Treatment was maintained as long as was deemed clinically necessary or until discharge from the ICU.
