Airway support and ventilatory assistance if decreased consciousness or bulbar dysfunction compromises the airway Supplemental oxygen only if needed to maintain oxygen saturation > 94% Correction of hyperthermia (temperature > 38° C) by using an antipyretic drug and identifying and treating the cause of hypothermia Treatment of hypoglycemia (blood glucose < 60 mg / dL) Treatment of hyperglycemia (a reasonable option) to lower blood glucose to 140 to 180 mg / dL while closely monitoring for hypoglycemia Perfusion of an ischemic brain area may require a high blood pressure (BP) because autoregulation is lost; thus, BP should not be decreased except in the following cases: There are signs of other end-organ damage (eg, aortic dissection, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, hypertensive encephalopathy, retinal hemorrhages, acute renal failure).
