Stroke alters the cerebral auto regulation as a result blood pressure is elevated in most of the stroke patients. Diff erent stroke types namely, intra cerebral hemorrhage, ischemic infarct and SAH (subarachnoid hemorrhage) each require diff erent ranges of BP

(blood pressure) optimization to maintain CPP and MAP. Inappropriate ranges of BP result as rebleed, infarct evolution and cerebraledema. The stroke types require diff erent MAP (mean arterial pressure), CPP (cerebral perfusion pressure), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to maintain adequate cerebral perfusion. Blood pressure optimization is among one of the most important steps in neuroprotection. This systemic review presents the latest updates in BP management in acute stroke. It also stipulates recommended ranges of CPP, MAP, ICP (intracranial pressure), SBP and DBP, for acute stroke management. Emphasis on, injectable anti hypertensives only in acute stroke is given and commonly used IV (intravenous) agents are also listed.
