Abstract:
The mean arterial pressure (MAP), is the primary indicator of end-organ perfusion. The likelihood of developing profound hypotension during surgery is higher in critically ill patients. The associated risk of having intraoperative hypotension includes postoperative mortality, myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS), myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, acute renal failure, delirium, and stroke. Postoperative hypotension after non-cardiac surgery is common and can be undetected by current vital sign monitoring in the ward. Early detection of impending hypotension or clinical prediction during risk stratification for perioperative hypotension enables the clinician to treat hypotension and decrease the frequency and duration of hypotensive episodes
