Effects of hemoglobin concentration and temperature on the in vitro release of cyanide from sodium nitroprusside.
This in vitro study was performed to determine whether changes in hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and temperature influenced the amount of cyanide (CN-) released from sodium nitroprusside (SNP). ⋯ Though the Hb concentration and temperature changed the amount of CN- released from SNP in RBC, the change observed was not clinically significant.

Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia reduce inotropic requirements and creatine kinase-MB after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
To determine whether normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardioplegia preserve myocardial function, reduce inotropic requirements, and reduce markers of myocardial ischemia following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). ⋯ Normothermic CPB and cardioplegia reduce inotropic requirements and CK-MB following CABG.
