Blood pressure reduction does not reduce perihematoma oxygenation: a CT perfusion study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of blood pressure (BP) reduction in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on tissue oxygenation around the bleeding area.
- Two groups of patients were randomized to achieve different systolic BP targets, and imaging was conducted to assess blood flow and oxygen levels in brain tissue.
- Results showed that while BP was significantly lower in the aggressive treatment group, key indicators of oxygen delivery in the perihematoma region remained stable, suggesting that reducing BP early after ICH is safe and does not compromise oxygen delivery to the affected tissue.
