First, it's spelled hypertension.

Nitro-- for coronary artery dilation, and prevent post op occlusion/spasm.

Nipride-- primary vasodilation, treats post-op hypertension, due to hypothermia from CPB and release of catecholamines upon awakening. This also prevents spasm, post op MI, and htn.

Uh, oh. If spelling errors are a problem then I haven't a chance here. Don't sweat the small stuff.
