ACOG Committee Opinion No. 767 Summary: Emergent Therapy for Acute-Onset, Severe Hypertension During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period.
Authors: Abstract Acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both can occur during the prenatal, intrapartum, or postpartum periods. Pregnant women or women in the postpartum period with acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both require urgent antihypertensive therapy. Introducing standardized, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the management of patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of adverse maternal outcomes. Individuals and institutions should have mechanisms in place to initiate the...

Collateral Blood Flow Availability in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report (P4.360)
Conclusion: This case supports earlier autopsy specimen dissections indicating most borderzone collaterals linking to adjacent vascular territories are too small to generate the immediate flow needed to spare tissue proximal to a middle cerebral stem occlusion. Assuming acute vasodilation is possible for these vessels, the acute use of vasodilators such as nitroglycerin or hydralazine and calcium-channel blockers like Nimodipine could provide an area for future study.Disclosure: Dr. Rostanski has nothing to disclose.
