    as a rapid response nurse, this is great content!
  • This is simply the best unmatched world over am from Zambia and I watch him always
  • Thank you. See this a lot as an acp working AIM. Probably would have added endocrine as another cause category to cover things like pheo and conns. Element of bias though as currently waiting adrenalectomy for conns myself!!
  • A great video elaboration of the “no evidence just stop!” article written in Today’s hospitalist some time back
  • You're doing a great job with these videos doc, helping students and MD's. Doctor, what do you think about the new guidelines that consider the numbers 130/80 to be first stage hypertension? Do you agree with that and do you think those numbers should be lowered in healthy individuals? Also, what do you think is the best medicine to give on an hypertensive emrgency caused by severe anxiety?

    This is such a valuable topic, and yes hydralazine is evil, especially if continued on the outpatient basis. So many of my patients get switched from their regular antihypertensives to hydralazine in the hospital. They are discharged on TID hydralazine and I have to deal with it....

    thanks for the review. i have been on either side of the bed on this, having had HTN since I was 8, & as an emergency nurse, realizing this is scary. Working as part of a team diagnosing // treating the underlying cause can be challenging, being far more than administering sublingual nitroglycerin, iv lasix, or iv labetalol.
  • Are there any lectures notes on the “How to approach different symptoms “ series
  • @Marmalard
    You’re also limited by what can be given on the floor at a given hospital. My hospital has no problem with IV hydralazine but anything like labetalol or iv nitro they’ll need to be in ICU.

    Thank you Dr. Strong for the extremely valuable educational resource. Just a question... how do you lower BP of a specific percentage? In other words, once you choose the drug, how do you choose the dose to aim for a 20% reduction in 1h?
