A member asked:
Why must measure blood pressure befor give intravenous hydrocortison?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?: Hydrocortisone may raise the BP a little. All other things being equal, it won't have a huge effect on BP and there's not generally any need to measure it before giving the drug unless the person at risk is recovering from a hypertensive crisis?
