Bereda G. Hypertensive emergency occurred due to forgetting to take antihypertensive medication: A case study. SAGE Open Med Case Rep 2023; 11:2050313X231168287. [PMID: 37113389 PMCID: PMC10126595 DOI: 10.1177/2050313x231168287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
A life-threatening condition known as a "hypertensive emergency" is marked by a severe increase in blood pressure together with acute or significant target-organ damage. On 1 June 2022, a 67-year-old black male farmer was admitted to the emergency department with a major chief complaint of breathing difficulty. The patient was traveling to the village for work and forgetting his medication at home, and he was losing consciousness and motor activity at his workplace. He presented with symptoms of shortness of breath, confusion, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and faintness. An abnormal cardiac region was visible on chest X-rays, and there were no changes to the pulmonary parenchyma or fluid overload. Upon admission, hydralazine (5 mg) intravenously was administered immediately, and he was reassessed after 20 min and kept at the emergency department. The next day, sustained-release nifedipine (20 mg) was initiated orally twice a day for the patient, and he was transferred to the medical ward. In the medical ward, the patient was assessed for 4 days, and in those 4 days, he showed marked improvement. Hypertensive emergency treatment intends to reverse target-organ damage, readily lowering blood pressure, decreasing adverse clinical complications, and enhancing the quality of life.

Abstract
Midodrine is an antihypotensive agent used primarily in the adult population for orthostatic hypotension and reflex syncope, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and hemodialysis-induced hypotension. Limited information about midodrine ingestion and overdose exists in children with only a single case series reported in the literature. Varying presentations of midodrine ingestion in children have not been shown to be acutely life-threatening in doses up to 50 mg. We present a case of a 12-year-old who intentionally ingested 100 mg of midodrine and presented with a hypertensive emergency and seizure activity. This is the largest reported dose ingested in a child. The patient was observed and treated with a nicardipine infusion in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Prompt identification and treatment of symptoms contributed to a favorable outcome with no neurologic deficits and complete recovery from an intentional ingestion of midodrine. Mechanism, duration of action, and management of midodrine ingestion including treatment for a hypertensive emergency in children are discussed. Commonly used pharmacologic agents to treat hypertension are reviewed. This case report of a significant ingestion of midodrine reviews management of hypertensive emergencies and provides information and guidance to healthcare professionals unfamiliar with this medication and its potentially fatal effects.

Abstract
Stroke can occur at any age or stage in life. Although it is commonly thought of as a disease amongst the elderly, it is important to highlight the fact that it also affects infants and children. In both populations, strokes have a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Arguably, it is more detrimental in the pediatric population given the occurrence at a younger age and therefore, a longer duration of disability, potentially over the entire lifespan. The high rate of morbidity and mortality in pediatrics is attributed to significant delays in diagnosis, as well as misdiagnosis. Acute stroke management is time dependent. Patients who receive acute treatment with either intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or mechanical thrombectomy, have improved mortality and functional outcomes. Additionally, the earlier treatment is initiated, the higher the likelihood of preserving penumbra, restoring cerebral blood flow and potentially reversing symptoms, thereby limiting disability. Prompt identification is essential as it leads to improved patient care in such a narrow therapeutic window. It enhances the care received during hospitalization and reduces the risk of early stroke recurrence. Despite limited data and lack of large randomized clinical trials in pediatrics, both IV tPA and mechanical thrombectomy have been successfully used. Bridging the gap of acute stroke management in the pediatric population is an essential part of minimizing adverse outcomes. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology of pediatric stroke, the diverse etiologies, presentation as well as both acute and preventative management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remifentanil is a commonly used opioid analgesic during anesthesia in children. Objective measurement of pain is required for adequate dosing of remifentanil. We investigated whether pupillometry-guided remifentanil administration can reduce intraoperative consumption of remifentanil in children. METHODS We performed a single-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial from December 2018 through June 2019. Children who were 3-12 years of age and classified as having an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II and undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were included. Fifty-six fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and fifty-four completed the study. Participants were randomly assigned to either a pupillometry or conventional group. Patients in both groups received target-controlled infusion of remifentanil. In the pupillometry group, the adjustment of the remifentanil effect site concentration was determined by the pupillary diameter, whereas in the conventional group, the adjustment was based on the anesthesiologist's experience. Primary outcome was intraoperative remifentanil consumption, divided by patient weight and infusion time (ng kg-1 min-1). RESULTS Remifentanil consumption was reduced by 25% in the pupillometry group compared to the conventional group (116.7±56.0 ng kg-1 min-1 vs. 155.8±64.9 ng kg-1 min-1, respectively; P=0.02). There were no differences in intra- and postoperative blood pressure and heart rate. The incidences of postoperative desaturation or nausea/vomiting were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Pupillometry-guided remifentanil administration in children undergoing general anesthesia can reduce the intraoperative remifentanil consumption.

Abstract
Severe hypertension in children may result in life-threatening complications. Although there has not been extensive research in this area in children, and recommendations are mostly derived from adult data, in the last few years, there have been more pediatric studies on the safety and effectiveness of antihypertensives. The clinical presentation of a child with severe hypertension varies and may be completely asymptomatic or include signs and symptoms of end-organ damage. Treatment of a child with severe hypertension is emergent and should be done concomitantly with the evaluation.

Abstract
Hypertensive crisis is a relatively rare condition in children. However, if not treated, it might be life-threatening and lead to irreversible damage of vital organs. Clinical presentation of patients with hypertensive crisis can vary from very mild (hypertensive urgency) to severe symptoms (hypertensive emergency) despite similarly high blood pressure (BP). Individualized assessment of patients presenting with high BP with emphasis on the evaluation of end-organ damage rather than on the specific BP number is a key in guiding physician's initial management of a hypertensive crisis. The main aim of the treatment of hypertensive crisis is the prevention or treatment of life-threatening complications of hypertension-induced organ dysfunction, including neurologic, ophthalmologic, renal, and cardiac complications. While the treatment strategy must be directed toward the immediate reduction of BP to reduce the hypertensive damage to these organs, it should not be at a too fast rate to cause hypoperfusion of vital organs by an excessively rapid reduction of BP. Thus, intravenous continuous infusions rather than intravenous boluses of antihypertensive medications should be the preferable mode of initial treatment of children with hypertensive emergency.

Abstract
Most children who present with hypertensive crisis have a secondary cause for hypertension. This study describes the epidemiology and management of children with hypertensive crisis. A retrospective cohort study was done in a tertiary pediatric hospital from 2009 to 2015. Thirty-seven patients were treated for hypertensive crisis. Twelve (32.4%) patients were treated for hypertensive emergency. The majority of our patients (33 [89.1%]) had a secondary cause of hypertension. The most common identifiable cause of hypertension was a renal pathology (18/37 [48.6%]). Oral nifedipine (23 [62.1%]) was the most frequently used antihypertensive, followed by intravenous labetalol (8 [21.6%]). There were no mortalities or morbidities. Hypertensive crisis in children is likely secondary in nature. Oral nifedipine and intravenous labetalol are both effective treatments.

Abstract
Strongyloidiasis is an intestinal parasitosis that occurs in humans infected by Strongyloides stercoralis mostly. At its acute phase, symptoms like constipation, diarrhea and abdominal pain can be observed, but become asymptomatic for a long time, until an immunosuppression will start a hyperinfection and the dissemination of the disease, prevalent on the elderly population in tropical countries. Ivermectina treatment is the currently choice for this disease, due to its great efficacy and the results reported. It is expected that around one hundred million individuals have been infected around the world. Strongyloides venezuelensis is an intestinal helminth utilized on Strongyloidiasis investigations, in rodents. As the parasites reach the blood stream after subcutaneous infection, the larvae migrate to the lung by systemic circulation, but the effects of S. venezuelensis in the circulation remain widely unknown. Moreover, the role played by S. venezuelensis in the cardiovascular function has been understudied. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine whether acute infection with S. venezuelensis alters systemic blood pressure or not. Male wistar rats were infected subcutaneously with 2000 L3 larvae of S. venezuelensis and monitored during 21 days (Infected group), compared to a Healthy group, no infected. Oviposition, body and faeces weight, water and food intake were determined every 3 days. Moreover, systemic blood pressure was assessed by tail cuff plethysmography. At the end of experiments, the animals were euthanized and the number of worms, ventricles, lung and thymus and small intestine weight were registered. It was possible to observe that systolic blood pressure (126.86 ± 2.74 vs 155.08 ± 7.61 at 9°-day post infection - dpi - and 134.44 ± 5.22 vs 157.77 ± 9.55 at 21° dpi) and mean arterial pressure (71.72 ± 1.59 vs 80.51 ± 2.32 at 21° dpi) were markedly higher (P < 0.001) in infected group in comparison to the Healthy group. Those changes occurred after larvae passes through the circulation and demonstrated a late response to the presence of this parasite. These results suggest that host circulatory system reacts to this infection resulting in a significant increase in blood pressure.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To update the definition and clinical practice of stage 2 hypertension (HTN) in pediatrics. RECENT FINDINGS The 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guideline (AAP CPG) for Screening and Management of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescent includes new normative blood pressure tables for children and adolescents ages 1 to 17 years and new definitions for stage 2 HTN. This review will highlight these aspects as well as new recommendations in the guideline specific to stage 2 HTN. It will outline how the new guideline differs from the previous 2004 guideline, the implications of these differences, and suggested changes in evaluation and management of stage 2 HTN. Lastly, the review will address topics relevant to daily clinical practice including competitive athletic participation, investigation for secondary HTN and HTN comorbidities, and blood pressure-lowering therapy. With the publication of the new AAP CPG introducing revised normative tables, the prevalence of stage 2 HTN in pediatrics is expected to rise. Based on the new guidelines, there is less emphasis on investigation for secondary HTN and more attention to lifestyle modifications for primary HTN. Future research should address whether there is BP level within the stage 2 HTN range above which the approach to evaluation and management should be altered in this heterogeneous patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute severe hypertension occurs infrequently in pediatric patients and, consequently, data on the efficacy and safety of most antihypertensive agents, as well as the adverse events associated with these agents, are very limited in this population. In this case series, we evaluated the use of metoprolol infusion in children with hypertensive emergencies. METHODS The study population comprised children younger than 18 years who had been admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at King Abdullah University Hospital with blood pressure above the 99th percentile for age, height, and sex and who were symptomatic at the time of presentation. Metoprolol was given as an infusion at a dose of 1-5 mcg/kg/min. The rate of decrease in blood pressure, side effects from the medication, and outcome were assessed. RESULTS Thirteen patients ranging in age from 2 months to 16 years were included in this study. The initial mean blood pressure was 23-75 mmHg above the 99th percentile for age, height, and sex. Metoprolol was initiated at a dose of 0.5 mcg/kg/min and titrated according to the target blood pressure to a maximum of 5 mcg/kg/min. Mean blood pressure fell by an average of 12.3, 20.4, and 27.1% at 1, 8, and 24 h, respectively, which is consistent with findings on the use of other intravenous medications reported in published studies. The heart rate did not decrease below the normal range for age. There were no significant side effects of the metoprolol infusion. All patients were discharged home with no neurological sequelae secondary to their hypertension. CONCLUSION An infusion of metoprolol for a hypertensive emergency is a safe and effective treatment for pediatric patients.
