AHA Aneurysmal SAH BP Guidelines[1]
- To date, no well-controlled studies exist that answer whether blood pressure control in acute Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage influences rebreeding.
- Blood pressure should be monitored and controlled to balance the risk of stroke, hypertension-related rebleeding, and maintenance of cerebral perfusion pressure (Class I, Level of Evidence B).
- Nicardipine, labetalol, and esmolol are appropriate choices for blood pressure control. Sodium nitroprusside may raise intracranial pressure and cause toxicity with prolonged infusion and should be avoided.
