What this Trial Is About
The perioperative period poses a heightened risk of complications for patients, including hypotension. While the issue of intraoperative hypotension is well-documented in medical literature, the occurrence and causes of hypotension in the post-anesthesia care unit often receive less attention. This phase of postoperative care, however, is vital for ensuring patient stability and preventing severe consequences. Failure to identify and manage a drop in blood pressure can lead to hypoperfusion of critical organs, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to examine the frequency of hypotension in the post-anesthesia care unit-defined as systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg or a drop of more than 20% from baseline-and to identify factors contributing to its development.
