Highest BP you have ever seen on a pt

[nckayaker]

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?

I had never had any problems w/ my bp before but two days after I had my second child, the nurse came checked my bp and it read 220/ 92
