Answer to Question 1

2
The intraparenchymal probe is easy to insert and has a low risk of infection. The probe does have a risk of causing intracerebral bleeding. The catheter is fragile and may break. The equipment is expensive for this type of probe.

Answer to Question 2

3
Normal blood pressure is SBP less than 120 mmHg and DBP less than 80 mmHg. A prehypertensive state is SBP of 120 to 139 mmHg or DBP of 80 to 90 mmHg. Stage I hypertension is SBP of 140 to 159 mmHg or DBP of 90 to 99 mmHg. Stage II hypertension is a SBP of 160 mmHg or higher or a DBP of 100 mmHg or higher.
