Intraoperative Hypotension and Post-anesthesia Care Unit Recovery

"For the purposes of this study, we defined intraoperative hypotension as a decrease in mean blood pressure of 30% from baseline for a minimum of 5 minutes, including induction and maintenance of anesthesia. The measuring blood pressure method (noninvasive or invasive) depended on the surgical intervention's invasiveness and the patient's cardiac performance.~As soon as the patients entered the PACU, the responsible nurses started the standard monitoring. Anesthesiologists constantly oversee all actions based on the patient's condition. Clinical observation for respiratory and gastrointestinal problems and all disorders were monitored. When in room air SO2 was \<94, we started oxygen treatment with a 4 liter/minute nasal cannula, and in cases of nausea antiemetic was administered. The Modified Aldrete Score was used to discharge the patent."
