Intraoperative Hypotension and Peripoerative Ischemic Stroke After
General Surgery
This case study was performed in order to determine if there
is a correlation between intraopertive hypotension and postoperative stroke as
this correlation is largely unknown. The findings of this study showed that
after correcting for potential confounders and with multiple testing, the
duration that the mean blood pressure was decreased more than 30% from baseline
remained statistically significantly associated with the occurrence of a
postoperative stroke. Some of the limitations of this study that were listed
would be in CEA patients, only collecting data on patie ts for 10 days
postoperatively and the role of postoperative hypotension.
