Oh man! I think maybe something in the 220/120's.
When I had my 2nd baby my BP was 200/110 and I thought that was baaaad.
Well I guess it was now I think of it. That was back in the day they called it pre-eclampsia.
Doc wanted me to wait to go into labor (3 wks late, Mid August, my pitting edema had pits itself). His ob/ gyn partner prevailed , and my giant little guy brought my bp down just fine.
How about the lowest?
Had a pt w/ 57/37 (manual) this week. Felt "a little dizzy". First time I have had to put a pt in trendellenberg! By the way, pt had history of orthostatic hypotension and the 50's were not "unusual" for him. Scary part though, is that this 80-year-old man still drives... :uhoh3:

Hello,
I am new to all nurses as a poster. Have been looking at posts for a year or so.
Anyway, my coworkers and I were having a disscussion of the highest BP we have ever seen. We had a pt come in and say that the BP on the home monitor was 280/110. It was 162/109 at the ER.
So what is the highest BP any of you have ever seen?
