For acute reduction of arterial pressure, the potent vasodilator sodium nitroprusside is very effective. To reduce dP/dt acutely, administer a beta blocker intravenously (IV) in incremental doses until a heart rate of 60-80 beats/min is attained.When beta blockers are contraindicated, as in second-or third-degree atrioventricular block, consider using calcium-channel blockers.his agent is normally used in conjunction with nitroprusside. It may be useful as a means of testing beta-blocker safety and tolerance in patients with a history of obstructive pulmonary disease who are at uncertain risk for bronchospasm from beta blockade. The elimination half-life of esmolol is 9 minutes.
