BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypotension and bradycardia are common in carotid artery stenting (CAS) and are particularly worrisome in the high risk patient who is typically referred for CAS. The purpose of this work was to assess the incidence and predictors of hypotension and bradycardia and the risk of their delayed occurrence after CAS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 53 men and 40 women (medi...

Intradialytic hypotension is a serious and frequent complication of hemodialysis; however, there is no evidence-based consensus definition of intradialytic hypotension. As a result, coherent evaluation of the effects of intradialytic hypotension is difficult. We analyzed data from 1409 patients in the HEMO Study and 10,392 patients from a single large dialysis organization to investigate the as...

An episode of hypotension is common during cemented joint replacement, and has been associated with circulatory collapse and sudden death. We studied the mechanism of hypotension in two groups of six dogs after simulated bilateral cemented arthroplasty. In one group, with no lavage, the insertion of cement and prosthesis was followed by severe hypotension, elevated pulmonary artery pressure, de...

BACKGROUND/AIM To explore the effects of maternal transient systemic hypotension on apoptotic neuronal death in an intrauterine fetal rat brain during the first 24 h after induction of hypotension. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to either transient systemic hypotension produced for 30 min by blood withdrawal via femoral artery catheterization (...

BACKGROUND Exploration of the impact of severe hypotension on the evolution of acute kidney injury in septic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed the hemodynamic parameters of 137 adults with septic shock and proven blood stream infection in the ICU. Severe hypotension was defined as a mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) ≤65 mmHg. The influence of the duration of severe hypotension on the...

Aging is often associated with increased systolic blood pressure and decreased diastolic blood pressure. Isolated systolic hypertension or an elevated systolic blood pressure without an elevated diastolic blood pressure is a known risk factor for incident heart failure in older adults. In the current study, we examined whether isolated diastolic hypotension, defined as a diastolic blood pressur...

INTRODUCTION Fluid-resistant arterial hypotension can result in hypoperfusion of the brain and other organs. Well-known causes of arterial hypotension in neurosurgical practice include cardiac failure, septic shock, adrenal insufficiency, brainstem, and cervical spinal cord damage. Fluid-resistant arterial hypotension can occur in patients with brain edema without damage to brainstem when hypot...

Introduction Hypotension after induction of general anaesthesia is identified as an independent factor in predicting adverse clinical outcomes. Preoperative evaluation arterial stiffness could identify patients with impaired vascular function and altered haemodynamic response to anaesthesia. The purpose this study investigate the relationship between blood pressure variation during Material met...

BACKGROUND Hypotension is commonly encountered in association with anaesthesia and surgery. Uncorrected and sustained it puts the brain, heart, kidneys, and the fetus in pregnancy at risk of permanent or even fatal damage. Its recognition and correction is time critical, especially in patients with pre-existing disease that compromises organ perfusion. OBJECTIVES To examine the role of a prev...

Hypotension is the most common adverse effect of spinal anesthesia (SA). The insidence SA-induced hypotension in total population 15-33%, patients older age groups it reaches 80%. At young and middle ages, main determinant considered to be a reduction postload venous reflux, due blood deposition capacitance vessels lower extremities. aortocaval compressionsyndromeplays significant role obstetri...
