Blood pressure targets [7] <1 hr 25% reduction in the mean arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure above 100 2-6 hr Systolic BP < 160 mmHg or Diastolic BP <110 mmHg 6-24 hr monitor BP targets, ensure non-rapid drop in BPs below 160 SBP or 100 DBP 1-2 d if no end-organ damage, monitor out-patient and JNC8 Guidelines for maintaining BP control
