Postural hypotension Postural hypotension may occur, even with small doses. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing Because of the problem of nitroglycerin absorption by PVC tubing, use nitroglycerin IV with the least absorptive infusion tubing (ie, non-PVC tubing) available. 

Hypotension Hypotension (postural) occurs regularly in about 50% of patients while they are supine, manifested by dizziness, light-headedness, vertigo, or faintness. Tolerance occurs unpredictably but may be present after several days. Hypotension with supine systolic pressure above 75 mm Hg need not be treated unless symptomatic. If supine systolic pressure falls below 75 mm Hg, infuse dopamine or norepinephrine to increase blood pressure use dilute solution and monitor blood pressure closely because pressor effects are enhanced by bretylium. Perform volume expansion with blood or plasma and correct dehydration where appropriate. Transient hypertension and increased frequency of arrhythmias Transient hypertension and increased frequency of arrhythmias may occur due to initial release of norepinephrine from adrenergic postganglionic nerve terminals.

Prazosin (Minipress) Peripheral alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist. Dilates both arteries and veins. Hypertension and hypertension with congestive heart failure. Hypotension (postural hypotension on first dose is sudden and severe). Sodium depletion (often caused by diet or diuretic therapy in hypertensive patients) worsens the hypotensive episodes. Edema, dry mouth, congestion, headache, nightmares, sexual dysfunction and lethargy may also be observed.
