Hypertensive Emergency (Common Cross-Cover Calls)

An overview of how to approach calls regarding elevated blood pressure while cross-covering on inpatient medicine. The distinction between hypertensive emergency and urgency is covered, as well as some of the differences between various anti-hypertensives appropriate when treating acute hypertension.

So this video is relatively old by this point. If I were to remake it, the biggest revision would be to no longer recommend IV antihypertensives for hypertensive "urgency" (i.e. no symptoms or evidence of end-organ dysfunction) irrespective of how high the number is, with a few notable exceptions (e.g. pregnancy, recent neurosurgery). In particular, IV hydralazine is almost never the best choice of anti-hypertensive.

Good point to mention Aortic dissection in hypertensive emergency, cuz if diagnosis is delayed till patient's BP is tanked, mortality rate increases exponentially, remember John Ritter case 2003 " aortic dissection", and nice to mention the 2 confusing emergencies namely, NEurolyptic malignant syndrome and serotonine syndrome as both increase the 4 vital signs esp. temperature not only BP, remember the case of Libby Zion 1984

What is the advice for your average person who goes to get a blood pressure check and gets a reading of 205/110? Past history of high blood pressure but had been fine for years. with no meds needed.

[armeneskandari]

Amazing work Dr. Strong, loved the beeper sound and text :)
Quick question, is it correct to say that in absence of significant diuresis furosemide has little effect on BP?

[nomadicrn]

Should Medical Charts have a "Baseline" blood pressure section added in the patient's History? (Such as with height and weight/ allergies etc) so that this information follows them for reference during medical stays/visits?
