Intraoperative Hypotension, Cerebral Ischemia, Shoulder Disease

Brief summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of leg elevation on the prevention of intraoperative hypotension during shoulder surgery in the Beach-chair position. patients undergoing shoulder surgery in the Beach-chair position will be randomly assigned to Group L (with leg elevation) or Group C (no intervention). The primary outcome is the incidence of intraoperative hypotension (mean blood pressure \< 60mmHg or systolic blood pressure \< 80% of baseline). Secondary outcomes are the incidence of intraoperative cerebral desaturation (cerebral oxygen saturation \< 80% of baseline, longer than 30 seconds), total amounts of administered inotropic agents, and systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and cerebral oxygen saturation at various time points.

Interventions

PROCEDUREleg elevation

Patients' leg will be raised by a pillow under both legs and the hip and knee joints will be flexed 45 degrees to position both knees at the heart level.
