2. DEFINITIONS
HYPERTENSIVE EMERGENCY
BP elevation is associated with ongoing
neurological, myocardial, hematological or renal
TARGET ORGAN DISEASE (TOD)
HYPERTENSIVE URGENCY
- potential for TOD is great & likely to occur if BP is not
controlled.
- occurs on chronic stable complication
. Stable angina
. Old MI
. CCF,CRF
. TIA,old CVA
3. DEFINITIONS
ACCELERATED HYPERTENSION
- keith wagener barker retinopathy grade 3
(constriction,sclerosis+hemorrhages,exudates)
- may be urgency or emergency
- presence of exudate more worrisome
6. MALIGNANT HYPERTENSION….
Renal failure is most common cause of
death(fibrinoid necrosis+prolif endarteritis) espc
if assoc with glomerulonephritis.
Recovery predicted if combined length of both
kidneys >20.2cm & highly unlikely if <14.2 cm.
Presenting creatinine >4.5 - dialysis
Treatment-sod nitroprusside
(0.3microg/kg/min) also-labetolol,
nicardipine,fenoldopam
7. BP CLASSIFICATION(Chobanian et al/JNC 7)
sys(mm Hg) dias(mm Hg)
NORMAL <120 & <80
Pre Htn 120-139 or 80-89
Stage I Htn 140-159 or 90-99
Stage II Htn ≥160 or ≥100
Iso sys Htn ≥140 &<90
9. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Increased SVR
Damage to endothelial lining
Leakage of plasma
Fibrinoid necrosis of arterioles(histo hallmark)
Local edema & sclerosis
Ischemia of brain ,heart, kidneys
10. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Patients with antecedent Htn can tolerate higher
fluctuations due to shift of autoreg threshold.
Patients with no antecedent Htn – organ specific
changes occur with DBP>100.
Most sensitive vascular bed is CEREBRAL.
11. INITIAL EVALUATION
Cardinal points in history-
- TOD symptoms (most imp)
- prior Htn
- Medical Renal Disease
- medicine with compliance
- cocaine, amphetamine
-Htn from any cause may enter emergent phase.
-Usually occurs on background of essential hypertn.
- Imp secondary causes- renovascular(fibromuscular dys-
plasia/atheresclerosis)
- chronic GN
- reflux nephropathy
- analgesic nephropathy
12. SYMPTOMS OF HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS
MC is - headache (usually worse in morning)
- visual (scotoma, diplopia, hemianopia, blindness)
- neuro (focal deficits, stroke, TIA, somnolence)
- ischemic chest pain
- renal (polyuria, nocturia, hematuria)
- back pain (aortic aneurysm)
- nausea ,vomiting
- wt loss.
PATIENTS OFTEN HAVE INTRAVASCULAR VOLUME DEPLETION.
14. ANCILLARY TESTS
Sr Na, K, bicarb, BUN, Cr, CBC (with P/S for
schitocytes)
PT/aPTT, tox screen, pregnancy test, ECG, urinanalysis
USUALLY - hypoNa and matabolic alkalosis
- incr BUN, Cr
- proteinuria, hematuria
- marked proteinuria suggets GN
15. PSUDOHYPERTENSION
Overestimation of true BP due to stiff artery
OSLERS MANOEUVRE. : inflate BP cuff to greater
than brachial systolic, a palpable radial artery but
pulseless.
Seen in - atherosclerosis,
- monckebergs medial calcification,
- metastatic calcification(ESRD)
16. TREATMENT
Initial therapy should terminate ongoing TOD, not return of
BP to normal.
Generalized goal : decrease MAP by 20-25% within one hour
f/b decr to ~160/100 by 2-6 hrs
and towards normal over 1-2 days
EXCPTNS : . ischemic stroke
. aortic dissection
. active unstable angina or CCF
• More gradual reduction in elderly with carotid stenosis
.
17. SPECIFIC HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS
1 . PULMONARY EDEMA
a) with preserved systolic function(LVH)-
- abrupt increase in afterload with poor diastolic
relaxation leads to pulmn HTN and edema.
- Treatment is with Na-nitropru (it prefrnn dilates
resistance vessels)
- less emergnt condn – ACEI/CCB
18. PULMONARY EDEMA…
B) with poor systolic function
MYOCARDIAL ISCHAEMIA
-nitroglycerine is preferred(dilates collaterals)
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
- sedn/pain control
- DBP>100 - nitroglycr
- early β-blockade
19. SPECIFIC HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS
2) AORTIC DISSECTION
BP lowered rapidly to lowest clinically acceptable
level
Agents used lobet or esmolol, later on nitropru added
Alternative agent-trimetaphan
20. SPECIFIC HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS
3) HYPERTENSIVE ENCEPHALOPATHY
When high perfusion pressure overwhelms cerebral
autoregulation.
Can lead to blindness, seizures, coma, gradually
worsening headache.
Pathologically-cerebral edema, petechial hemorrhg,
microinfarcts.
Immed Neuroimagng - to rule out ischemic
stroke/hemorrhage
Hallmark is improvement in 12-24 hrs of BP redn.
21. HTN ENCEPH…
Treatment
short acting parenteral agents used.
MAP should decrease by 15-20% over 2-3 hrs.
D/d : cerebral infarct,
ICH/SAH,
subdural hematoma,
brain tumor, seizures,
vasculitis/meningoenceph.
22. HTN ENCEPH…
DIFFN POINTS :
1) Focal neurological deficit is unusual without
cerebral bleed
2) Papilledema is almost always assoc with Htn enceph
3) Mental staus improves by 24-48hrs-delayed in CNS
bleed
4) Brain dysfunction develops by 12-24 hrs in Htn but
more acutely with ischemic stroke/bleed.
24. ISCHEMIC STROKE
For every 10 mmHg incr in pressure >180 a 40% incr in
worsening neurological status.
Area of stunned but viable tissue(ischemic
penumbra)may need higher perfusion pressures, so
ASA/AHA-recommends (after excluding pain, nausea, full
bladder, hypoxia, incr ICP)
BP redn. If sys>220 or dias > 120
Also, for thrombolysis BP<185/110.
And post reperfusion use lobet or nicardipine for sys>180
or dias>105 & Na nitro for sys >230
25. ISCHEMIC STROKE
Latest studies recommend modest reduction of BP
(10-27mmHg) improved outcomes but effect waned
with increasing age ,so,avoid >10% sudden drop
26. SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE
SAH incr ICP & decr cerebral perfusion causing global
ischemia
Induces intense vasospasm in neighbouring vessels
(4- 12 days) after initial bleed.
Goal-dec 20-25% of MAP over 6-12 hrs but not
<160/100.
If vasospasm occurs later-inc BP with 3H(not proven)
Preffred - lobet
Avoid- nitrodilators
No data to support oral nimodip dec vasospasm.
27. INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGE
Major risk factor is Htn.
Most rapid decline in BP occurs in first 24 hrs but may
remain elavated for 7-10 days (while in ischemic stroke BP
dec to normal in 24-48 hrs)
AHA/ASA recommends…decrease BP if-
Sys>200 or MAP>150,
ICP incr suspected –sys>180 or map>130
ICP incr not suspec-target MAP~100 or BP~160/90
Preffred agent : lobet
28. HEAD TRAUMA
With trauma comes edema
With ICP monitoring –target MAP ≥90
Prefferd- lobet or nicardipine
29. POST OP PAIN
Early-(0-2hrs) : pain, hypoxemia, hypercabia,
shivering.
Intermed(12-36hrs) : fluid overload, reaction to
ET/FOLEYS.
30. Pheochromocytoma
Very rare cause of hypertension
Headache,palpitations,Htn,anxiety,abd pain
diaphoresis
Orthostatic changes in BP
Paroxsysmal symptoms
T/t : i/v phentolamine f/b b-blockade
31. GESTATIONAL HYPERTENSION
After 20 wks in normotensive.
SBP>140 & DBP>90 on two separate occasions 6 hrs
apart.
Pre-eclampsia – gestn htn + 300 mg in 24 hrs
proteinuria
Eclampsia- +seizures
T/t – bed rest & parenteral Mg
Use (lobet,hydralazine) if SBP>160 or DBP>100
39. INTRAVENOUS MEDICATIONS
ESMOLOL: cardioselective β1 blocker
Used in aortic dissection
Onset 60 seconds, duration 10-20 min.
Infusion 50-300 mic/kg/min.
Not dependant on hepatic/renal function
40. INTRAVENOUS MEDICATIONS
FENOLDOPAM : post synaptic dopamine agonist.
-primarily arterial dilator,rapid
onset/offset of effect.
Advantageous in kidney d/e, increases renal blood
flow,natriuresis.
Dose : 0.1 mic/kg/min.
C/I : glaucoma,hypotension,,check K+ every 6 hrs
41. INTRAVENOUS MEDICATIONS
HYDRALAZINE : direct arteriolar dilator.
Used in pregnancy/eclampsia
Dose 10 mg every 60 min (max 20 mg)
Duration of action 2-4 hrs
Reflex tachycardia, exacerbates angina,BP lowering
response is less predictable(depends on
renin&volume status)
