- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pulmonary artery systolic pressure reduction. Timepoint: Pulmonary artery systolic pressure was measured by echocardiography at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 1 hour after receiving inhaled verapamil. Method of measurement: Echocardiography device Affiniti 50.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The increase in oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Timepoint: Arterial blood oxygen saturation is measured before receiving inhaled verapamil (pre-intervention) and 1 hour after the intervention. Method of measurement: Measurement of arterial blood oxygen saturation is done by finger pulse oximeter.
