Blood Pressure Management

Optimal perioperative management of arterial blood pressure

Perioperative blood pressure management is a key factor of patient care for anesthetists, as perioperative hemodynamic instability is associated with cardiovascular complications. Hypertension is an independent predictive factor of cardiac adverse events in noncardiac surgery. Intraoperative hypotension is one of the most encountered factors associated with death related to anesthesia. In the p...

Management of blood pressure in primary care.

Cerebral hemodynamics, autoregulation, and blood pressure management.

INTRODUCTION Chronic hypertension may be the single most important modifiable risk factor for ischemic stroke (19). Antihypertensive therapy has been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in prospective, randomized controlled studies (7). Hypertension is common in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke (4), but its treatment is controversial (9). In contrast to chronic hypertension, there...

Blood pressure management in acute stroke

Correspondence to Professor Philip M Bath; [email protected] ABSTRACT Blood pressure (BP) is elevated in 75% or more of patients with acute stroke and is associated with poor outcomes. Whether to modulate BP in acute stroke has long been debated. With the loss of normal cerebral autoregulation, theoretical concerns are twofold: high BP can lead to cerebral oedema, haematoma expansion...

Blood Pressure Risks and Management in Women

Circulatory blood pressure exerted is the real hazard component related to all the ailing conditions in the present day in association with the various wellbeing variables in women. As already known Circulatory blood pressure is communicated as the systolic (most extreme) pressure over diastolic (least) pressure and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Treatment and cure of hypertensi...
