Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigator compared difference between inhaled and intravenous milirinone in patiens with severe pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiac surgery

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Milrinone is widely used in cardiac surgery as an inotrope and pulmonary vasodilator agent But , intravenous milrinone has been associated with systemic hypotension and increased requirement for vasoactive drugs
