Approach to Acute Severe Hypertension in the ICU
摘要
Hypertension is a common condition encountered in acute care settings, particularly within the intensive care unit (ICU). While elevated blood pressure is frequent among critically ill patients, not all instances necessitate immediate intervention. Hypertension in the ICU can be reversible, often resulting from transient factors such as pain, anxiety, or agitation, or irreversible when linked to persistent pathological conditions. Understanding the nuances of hypertension in critically ill patients is essential for effective management and improving patient outcomes [1, 2]. [Ref: Algorithm 58.1].
