title: [The use of sodium nitroprusside in the treatment of heart failure in critically ill children].
abstract: Sodium nitroprusside was used in 18 children aged 1 to 13 years with clinical and hemodynamic signs of low cardiac output syndrome secondary to septic pancarditis, lung edema, thromboembolism of pulmonary artery branches. Central and peripheral hemodynamics has been studied by impedance plethysmography prior to and during the first day of sodium nitroprusside infusion. A considerable improvement of hemodynamic parameters and the patients' conditions has been established. Effective dosages and indications for the drug use in children have been elaborated.
