Teleanu and Constantinescu (2014) suggest using short acting alpha and beta blocking agents‚ such as labetalol‚ or vasodilators like hydralazine. Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors and calcium channel blockers are also appropriate choices for blood pressure management in this cohort. Venous vasodilators should not be used‚ for they will increase intracranial pressure. Increased intracranial pressures
