Nicardipine, esmolol, and nitroglycerin are IV antihypertensive agents used to rapidly and consistently maintain blood pressure in the desired ranges. Nicardipine is a calcium channel blocker, esmolol is a beta-blocker, and nitroglycerin is a nitrate, all of which can effectively manage blood pressure. Sertraline is an antidepressant, and carbidopa is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, neither of which are appropriate for acute blood pressure management in the context of AAA treatment.
