Jon-Emile S. Kenny [@heart_lung] “… it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Macbeth: Act V, Scene V The results of the ATACH II trial are out; we have even more guidance when managing the blood pressure of hypertensive patients with supratentorial, intra-cerebral hemorrhage of less than 60 cm3 in volume. The question: should such patients have their systolic blood pressure lowered to 110-139 mmHg within 4.5 hours or can we target 140-179 mmHg? There was relatively strict adherence to the use of intravenous nicardipene as the anti-hypertensive of choice in this trial.
