HyPOtensive crisis?: I've never heard of hyPOtensive crisis. HyPERtensive crisis, yes. When someone's blood pressure is dangerously low, that's called "shock." There's hemorrhagic shock & septic shock & shock from low cardiac output due to MI or CHF, etc. Drugs commonly known as pressors such as dopamine, dobutamine, and levarterenol are used to keep BP up. I'll defer to my intensivist colleagues for better answers.
