Early assessment of these patients with EUS is likely to have a great impact on their diagnosis and management.

The aim of this study was to study the effects of norepinephrine (NE)-induced hypertension (HT) on renal biochemistry, enzymology, and morphology after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in swine. ⋯ These data suggest that inducing HT by NE helps to maintain stable hemodynamic status and oxygen metabolism and may protect the kidney in terms of biochemistry, enzymology, and histology after CPR.
