Why the study?
Does as-needed intravenous antihypertensive therapy cause adverse effects in patients with asymptomatic, uncontrolled blood pressure?
Does as-needed intravenous antihypertensive therapy cause adverse effects in patients with asymptomatic, uncontrolled blood pressure?
The administration of as-needed IV antihypertensives for asymptomatic uncontrolled BP may lead to adverse effects without addressing immediate cardiovascular risk.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant avoiding IV antihypertensives for asymptomatic BP elevations; leaves open causal harm pending randomized trials.
IV antihypertensive drugs are ordered and administered in patients with asymptomatic, uncontrolled BP for levels unassociated with substantive immediate cardiovascular risk, which may cause adverse effects.
