#No well-controlled studies exist that answer whether BP control influences rebleeding
#BP should be controlled to balance the risk of stroke, hypertension-related rebleeding, and maintenance of cerebral perfusion pressure (Class I, [[Special:MyLanguage/EBQ:Evidence_Levels|Level of Evidence B]]).
#Nicardipine, labetalol, and esmolol are appropriate choices for BP control (Sodium nitroprusside may raise intracranial pressure and cause toxicity with prolonged infusion and should be avoided)
