Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Effect of controlled hypotension using sodium nitroprusside on platelet aggregation].
To determine the influence of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on platelet aggregation when this agent is used to induce hypotension during surgery. ⋯ Platelet aggregation increases during surgery and in the immediate postoperative period. This increase is attenuated when SPA is given to induce hypotension. SPA should be determined by measurement of impedance in whole blood when the nature of platelet aggregation during surgery is being studied, given that early increases in IPA can be masked as a result of the low sensitivity of turbidimetry.

[Prolonged sedation with midazolam in critically ill patients undergoing artificial ventilation].
To analyze the dose of midazolam needed for induction and maintenance of sedation, as well as its hemodynamic repercussions in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation. ⋯ The sedation dose of midazolam in critically ill patients is related to weight and plasma albumin levels. Recovery time is related to mean maintenance dose.
