Effects of Nitroglycerine on Hepatic Blood Flow during Goal-Directed Hemodynamic Therapy
Description
Nitroglycerine is a frequently used agent to pharmacologically decrease central venous pressure. Little is known however about its effects on hepatic blood flow. This project aims to assess the effects of a dose-dependent nitroglycerine-induced decrease in central venous pressure on blood flow in the portal vein and the hepatic artery.
