Study Summary

Nitroprusside is used commonly in the Intensive Care Unit for long periods of time in order to reduce blood pressure. It is not known if the body compensates over time to the blood pressure lowering, and if when the nitroprusside is stopped the blood pressure goes up at a faster rate and is higher than it was at the start of the treatment. This study will answer these questions.
