28. Safety of prehospital intravenous bolus dose nitroglycerin in patients with acute pulmonary edema: A 4-year review

What is the primary purpose of using intravenous nitroglycerin in patients with acute pulmonary edema (APE)?

True or False: The study found that intravenous bolus nitroglycerin caused significant hypotension in most patients.

What was the median reduction in systolic blood pressure after administering intravenous nitroglycerin?

Which patient group was primarily targeted in this study for intravenous bolus nitroglycerin?

True or False: Nitroglycerin was administered intravenously and sublingually in this study.

What was the impact of intravenous nitroglycerin on oxygen saturation?

What adverse event was reported in a small percentage of patients after receiving intravenous nitroglycerin?

What was the main benefit of using intravenous bolus nitroglycerin compared to sublingual nitroglycerin in this study?

True or False: The study showed that intravenous nitroglycerin significantly reduced the need for intubation.

What percentage of patients in the study were placed on non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV)?

How many patients required intubation during the prehospital care provided in this study?

True or False: The study concluded that paramedics could not accurately identify acute heart failure with APE.

What was the maximum cumulative dose of intravenous nitroglycerin allowed in this study’s protocol?

What was the main conclusion of the study regarding the use of intravenous nitroglycerin?

True or False: The study found that the administration of intravenous nitroglycerin significantly improved patient outcomes in terms of blood pressure and oxygenation.
