Nicardipine is a commonly used agent for the management of hypertensive emergencies due to its predictable pharmacokinetic profile and ease of titration. There is documented use of nicardipine administered as an intravenous (IV) bolus dose in several settings, particularly in the anesthesia literature. We describe the first 2 documented cases of use of nicardipine administered as an IV bolus dose in the emergency department (ED) for hypertensive emergencies involving acute ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
