    Background:

    • Severe hypertension poses significant clinical challenges.
    • Existing hypotensive agents may be ineffective or contraindicated in certain patients.
    • Rapid blood pressure control is critical in emergent situations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium nitroprusside.
    • To assess its utility as a last-resort hypotensive agent.
    • To determine its potential for wider clinical use.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous administration of sodium nitroprusside.
    • Case series of four patients with refractory hypertension.
    • Monitoring of blood pressure response and adverse effects.
