If the age of the PT is 2-7 years old and BMI with 95 percentile......or more without complication, the goal should generally be

For children 27 years old with BMI at the 95th percentile or above and secondary complications, weight loss is indicated
For children older than 7 years with BMI between the 85th and 95th percentile, without complications, weight maintenance is an
appropriate goal.
I guess this patient's BMI >95th percentile

37-hype rtensive crisis with SAH
Ischemic stroke or subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage -- Intravenous labetalol Other first-line agents include transdermal
nitroglycerin paste and intravenous nicardipine
nitroprusside should be considered second-line therapy
Sublingual nifedipine should be avoided
o Antihypertensive agents previously were advocated for an SBP greater than 160 mm Hg or diastolic BP (DBP) greater than 90 mm
Hg.
o Keep systolic blood pressure 90-140 mm Hg before aneurysm treatment, then allow hypertension to keep systolic blood pressure
less than 200 mm Hg
Acute pulmonary edema -- Nitroprusside or nitroglycerin with a loop diuretic
Drugs that increase cardiac work (hydralazine) or decrease cardiac contractility (labetalol or other beta blocker) should be avoided
Angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction - nitroprusside and nitroglycerin
Aortic dissection - beta blocker such as propranolol or labetalol. +/- Nitroprusside
