Article Synopsis
  • Preventing rebleeding in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is important, and lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) may help, although evidence is not clear-cut.
  • A systematic review analyzed ten studies, finding that higher SBP is linked to a greater chance of rebleeding, while maintaining SBP ≤160 mmHg reduced this risk significantly.
  • The results should be approached cautiously due to variability in study designs, highlighting the need for more standardized future research to better understand blood pressure's role in rebleeding risk.

Background: Continuous infusion ketamine has demonstrated efficacy in the management of refractory seizures yet does not suppress respiratory drive like other continuous infusion anesthetics (CIAs) used for this indication. The aim of this study is to describe the safety and efficacy of ketamine infusions in patients with refractory seizure without intubation.

Methods: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of adult patients who were not intubated at the time of initiation of a ketamine infusion for refractory seizures.
