Abstract Attempts to predict hypotension after induction of anesthesia were done using different parameters. IVC diameter and percentage of weight loss before surgery were used in a cohort of neurosurgical patients. IVC diameter was tested also in general surgical population. Low heart rate variability was shown to be a good predictor of hypotension in major abdominal surgery patients. Stroke volume variation was also shown to bea good predictor of hypotension. Peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is a variable measured by Radical-7 (Masimo) device and reflects the ratio between pulsatile and non-pulsatile portions of peripheral circulation. This index was tested as a predictor of hypotension after induction in general surgery patients and showed high sensitivity and good specificity. |
