BACKGROUND Controlled induced hypotension guarantees less blood loss and better visibility of the surgical site. The impact of hypotension on post-operative cognitive functions is still being discussed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of controlled induced hypotension on the cognitive functions of patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). MATERIAL...

Relatively short periods of unwanted hypotension, such as those associated with "shock" states, may be followed by irreversible organ damage. In contrast, controlled hypotension is rarely followed by organ damage, although minor reversible changes in function may occur (Rollason and Hough, 1960; Enderby, 1961; Linacre, 1961). The usual explanation for this paradox is that in the former situatio...

The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of infusion of different fluids combined with controlled hypotension on gastric intramucosal pH (pHi) and postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing hepatocarcinoma surgery. Forty-five patients (ASA II) scheduled for surgical resection of hepatocarcinoma undergoing controlled hypotension were randomly assigned to three g...

This review describes the steps and conclusions from development validation of an artificial intelligence algorithm (the Hypotension Prediction Index), one first machine learning predictive algorithms used in operating room environment. The has been demonstrated to reduce intraoperative hypotension two randomized controlled trials via real-time prediction upcoming hypotensive events prompting a...

Two patients with profound dialysis-induced hypotension were seen, in both of whom sequential ultrafiltration and haemodialysis failed to alleviate their symptoms; in one bicarbonate dialysis similarly produced no improvement. The hypotension was frequently severe enough to necessitate premature termination of the dialysis. Haemofiltration was associated with almost total resolution of symptoms...

PURPOSE (1) To define the onset and offset of the blood-pressure-lowering effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) for use in developing instructions for dose titration in children undergoing a surgical or medical procedure, and (2) to assess the safety of SNP administration in pediatric patients requiring controlled reduction of blood pressure. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, p...

UNLABELLED Minimal inflation pressures are recommended for limb surgery to eliminate complications attributable to high inflation pressures with the pneumatic tourniquets. We applied controlled hypotension and a minimal inflation pressure (CHAMIP) technique to provide a bloodless surgical field. Thirty-six patients scheduled for upper extremity surgery were randomized equally to receive either ...
