Abstract
A means of tightly controlling blood pressure in the acute care setting is elusive. Presently, the bedside nurse manages the rate of the intravenous blood pressure medication being infused. The invention seeks to allow continuous polling of the blood pressure, through telemetry monitoring, and adjust the rate of the intravenous antihypertensive nitroglycerin. The method algorithm allows for a set point of either mean arterial pressure (MAP) or systolic blood pressure (SBP) to be input. The nitroglycerin drip rate is then adjusted to maintain the set parameter range.
