Temporal trends in intraoperative hypotension exposure in major non-cardiac surgery: a retrospective cohort analysis
Abstract Background Intraoperative hypotension is a common occurrence during general anaesthesia that has consistently been associated with perioperative organ injury. While international consensus guidelines increasingly advocate for maintaining absolute mean arterial pressure thresholds to mitigate this risk, it remains unclear whether these safety recommendations have translated into measurable changes in routine clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate temporal trends in the burden of hypotension exposur …
