Brief summary

The underlying causative mechanism that leads to intraoperative hypotension (IOH) may vary depending on the stage of anesthesia and surgery, which determines different IOH types. Naturally, the incidence and severity of IOH types will differ, as will the incidence and severity of postoperative complications.

Detailed description

Background The underlying causative mechanism that leads to intraoperative hypotension (IOH) may vary depending on the stage of anesthesia and surgery, which determines different IOH types. Naturally, the incidence and severity of IOH types will differ, as will the incidence and severity of postoperative complications. Methods The investigators conducted a data-based observational study that included 4776 patients. Post-induction hypotension (pIOH) is defined as a decrease during the first 20 min after anesthesia induction and maintenance intraoperative hypotension (mIOH) when there is a decrease of blood pressure 20th min after induction, with or without pIOH.

Interventions

OTHERHemodynamic observation of the patients.

For the purposes of this study, we defined intraoperative hypotension as a decrease in mean blood pressure of 30% from baseline for a minimum of 5 minutes, including induction and maintenance of anesthesia. The measuring blood pressure method (noninvasive or invasive) depended on the surgical intervention's invasiveness and the patient's cardiac performance. As soon as the patients entered the PACU, the responsible nurses started the standard monitoring. Anesthesiologists constantly oversee all actions based on the patient's condition. Clinical observation for respiratory and gastrointestinal problems and all disorders were monitored. When in room air SO2 was \<94, we started oxygen treatment with a 4 liter/minute nasal cannula, and in cases of nausea antiemetic was administered. The Modified Aldrete Score was used to discharge the patent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Effect of IOH types on PACU recovery (Duration)From the preoperative first monitorization of the patient in the operating room until until discharege from the PACU (0-720 minutes).The underlying causative mechanism that leads to IOH may vary depending on the stage of anesthesia and surgery, which determines different IOH types; therefore recovery after them will differ. care unit (PACU) recovery, especially duration and complications in the PACU.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
PACU recoveryPostoperatively from the patient's arrival to the PACU until discharge (0-240 minutes).Compare the effect of intraoperative hypotension types on PACU recovery to the effect of other factors influencing PACU recovery.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intraoperative hypotensionFrom the preoperative first monitorization of the patient in the operating room until extubation and transfer to the PACU (0-480 minutes).Decrease in mean blood pressure of 30% from baseline for a minimum of 5 minutes, including induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
pIOHFrom the preoperative first monitorization of the patient in the operating room to the 20th minute after anesthesia induction.Decrease in mean blood pressure of 30% from baseline during the first 20 min after anesthesia induction.
mIOHFrom the 20th minute after anesthesia induction until extubation and transfer to the PACU (between 20- 480 minutes).Decrease of blood pressure 20th min after induction, with or without pIOH.
PACU complications: desaturationPostoperatively from the patient's arrival to the PACU until discharge (0-240 minutes).Postoperative SpO2\<%90
Effect of IOH types on PACU durationPostoperatively from the patient's arrival to the PACU until discharge (0-240 minutes).Different IOH types may have a different impact on the PACU duration.
