Comparison of Post-Craniotomy Blood Pressure Targets

For subjects assigned to the SBP \<160 mmHg group, an SBP target order will be placed to guide the neuro-intensive care team to treat the patient with antihypertensive medications as needed to achieve an SBP \<160 mmHg. Selection of the antihypertensive medication and administration route is at the discretion of the treating team. Patients will undergo regular and frequent blood pressure measurements using the arterial line placed during surgery, or through a non-invasive blood pressure measurement method if no arterial line is present.

For subjects assigned to the SBP \<140 mmHg group, an SBP target order will be placed to guide the neuro-intensive care team to treat the patient with antihypertensive medications as needed to achieve an SBP \<140 mmHg. Selection of the antihypertensive medication and administration route is at the discretion of the treating team. Patients will undergo regular and frequent blood pressure measurements using the arterial line placed during surgery, or through a non-invasive blood pressure measurement method if no arterial line is present.
