Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of metoprolol infusion for children and adolescents with hypertensive crises: a retrospective case series

摘要

Background Acute severe hypertension occurs infrequently in pediatric patients and, consequently, data on the efficacy and safety of most antihypertensive agents, as well as the adverse events associated with these agents, are very limited in this population. In this case series, we evaluated the use of metoprolol infusion in children with hypertensive emergencies.
