What is the correct pharmacological management of hypertensive crises in emergency departments?
Management of hypertensive crises in the emergency department requires individualized pharmacological treatment based on patient-specific clinical parameters.
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the correct management of hypertension in emergency departments. Studies were identified searching PubMed up to April 30, 2012, combining the terms ‘HYPERTENSIVE EMERGENCY’ and ‘HYPERTENSIVE URGENCY’. The search strategy was limited to English and Italian language papers on adult and pediatric patients. Hypertensive crises are commonly found in emergency departments. A range of pharmacological options are available in this setting, but each physician should tailor theoretical principles to the individual patient according to his or her clinical parameters.
