Blood Pressure Management in the First 24 Hours After Acute Ischemic Stroke<\/div>\n

Key points:
\n\u2022 Do not aggressively lower BP in the first 24 hours after ischemic stroke.
\n\u2022 Permissive hypertension is recommended to maintain cerebral perfusion.<\/p>\n

Blood pressure thresholds:
\n\u2022 No thrombolysis planned:
\n\u2022 Treat BP only if \u2265220\/120 mm Hg.
\n\u2022 If treated, lower BP gradually (\u224815% max in first 24 h).
\n\u2022 IV thrombolysis (alteplase\/tenecteplase):
\n\u2022 BP must be <185\/110 mm Hg before treatment.
\n\u2022 Maintain <180\/105 mm Hg for 24 h after thrombolysis.
\n\u2022 Mechanical thrombectomy:
\n\u2022 Similar targets: <185\/110 pre-procedure, then <180\/105.
\n\u2022 Restart chronic antihypertensives after neurologic stability (usually \u226524 h).
\n\u2022 Treat hypotension, hypoxia, fever, and hyperglycemia promptly.<\/p>\n

Bottom line:<\/p>\n

In the first 24 hours post-stroke, protect brain perfusion first.
\nTreat BP only when very high or when reperfusion therapy requires it, and always gradually.
