Define the JNC-7 classification of blood pressure
Differentiate the presentation and management
strategies for hypertensive urgencies and
emergencies.
 Compare and contrast pharmacotherapeutic agents
available for the management for acute blood
pressure control.
 Identify treatment goals for patients requiring acute
blood pressure management
 Recommend antihypertensive therapeutic regimens
tailored for specific patient characteristics.


Epidemiology

American Heart Association estimates 73 million
Americans have high blood pressure

~1 – 2% of hypertensive patients will have a
hypertensive emergency in their lifetime

Represents 3% of all ED visits and 25% of all
medical urgencies/emergences in the ED
 113 million ED visits in 2003

Epidemiology
51 yo WM is admitted to your emergency department
with a CC of 2 day history of a “dull” headache and
blurry vision. He decided to come to ED today because
he developed SOB and dizziness while exercising.
PMH:
 HTN and Hyperlidemia
Vital Signs:
 HR 105 BP 240/ 138 RR 24, T 37.6,
 Ht 70”, Wt 95 kg
Pertinent physical findings reveal:
 Papilledema and a grade II/IV SEM
Laboratory Results:
 Na 135, K 3.5, Cl 108, CO2 22, BUN 50, Cr 2.4
 Troponin negative (thus far)
Diagnostics:

Contraindications

Peripheral Dopamine-1 Agonist
 Improves creatinine clearance, urine flow rates, and
sodium excretion in severely hypertensive patients
with both normal and impaired renal function.


Rapid, extensive hepatic conjugation
The onset of action is within 5 min, with the
maximal response being achieved by 15 min.
 Duration of action is 30 to 60 min

An initial starting dose of 0.1 mcg/kg/min
 Increase 0.05 to 0.1 mcg/kg/min to max of 1.6
mcg/kg/min

Nausea, headache, flushing

Potent venodilator, higher doses affect
arterial tone
 Onset: 2 – 5 minutes
 Duration: 5 – 10 minutes

Tolerance with prolonged infusions (> 24 hrs)
Second agent often required
Primary role in AMI ,Pulmonary edema

AE: HA, vomiting, methemoglobinemia


 ICP may increase, CO may decrease in volume-depleted

Potent arterial and venous vasodilator
 Onset: seconds
 Duration: 2 – 5 minutes


Reduces preload and afterload
Arterial line required to monitor BP
 Due to potency, rapidity of action, and
tachyphylaxis

Disadvantages
 Cyanide toxicity, increased ICP, coronary steal
 May increase mortality after AMI
CN

Cyanide Toxicity
 Metabolized in liver to


thiocyanate via thiosulfate
 Start 0.3 mcg/kg/min
 Titrate every 5 minutes
 Thiocyanate eliminated via
kidney

in “healthy” patients
thiocyanate cause toxicity
thiosulfate per 100 mg SNP
to IV bag to reduce toxicity
Doses < 2 mcg/kg/min
 low risk of cyanide toxicity
 Both cyanide and
 Add 1 gm sodium
Protect from light
Dosing

Max 10 mcg/kg/min
 Short durations only due to
risk of toxicity

Dihydropyridine CCB,
exhibiting selective
vasodilatation
 Onset: 5 – 15 minutes
 Duration: 2 – 6 hours

Strong cerebral and
coronary vasodilatory
activity
 Reduces BP but increases
cerebral perfusion pressure

Dose
 Initiate at 5mg/hr
 Titrate by 2.5 mg/hr
increments
 Rapid control titrate
every 5 minutes
▪ When desired result,
reduce dose to 3 mg/hr**
 Gradual control titrate
every 15 minutes
 Max 15 mg/hr
** Recommendation comes from post-operative hypertension patients. Experience suggest it often fails
to optimize blood pressure management in populations other than post-op hypertension.


Initiate at 1 – 2 mg/hr
 Most patient achieve

Nausea (4.8%)
Chest discomfort (3.2%)
Vomiting (3.2%)
Disadvantages:
 Lipid based
▪ Contraindicated in patients
with allergies to soybeans,
soy products, eggs, or egg
products
▪ Must be discarded in 4

 $$$$$ (~ $145 per 25 mg vial)


Prodrug of enalapril
Pharmacodynamics make it difficult to use in
hypertensive crisis:
 Onset 15 minutes, peak~1 hr, duration 6 hours

Dose
 1.25 mg over 5 min every 4 to 6 h, titrate by 1.25-mg
increments at 12- to 24-h intervals to max of 5 mg q6h


May further compromise renal function
Most utility for CHF

Direct relaxation of vascular smooth muscle
 Reflex tachycardia, increased stroke volume

Time and degree of hypotensive effects are
variable
 Onset: 10 – 30 minutes
 Duration: 3 – 9 hours

Hepatic acetylation and renal elimination

Use: Eclampsia - 10 – 20 mg IV bolus, repeat in
30 min as needed

The most appropriate therapeutic option
for hypertensive emergencies requires
meticulous attention must be paid to:
 Distinction between urgency and emergency
 Precipitating factors
 Concomitant illnesses
 Blood pressure goals
 Pharmacokinetics
