Intraoperative Hypotension and Acute Kidney Injury, Stroke and Mortality during and outside Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study.
In cardiac surgery, the association between hypotension during specific intraoperative phases or vasopressor-inotropes with adverse outcomes remains unclear. This study's hypothesis was that intraoperative hypotension duration throughout the surgery or when separated into hypotension during and outside cardiopulmonary bypass may be associated with postoperative major adverse events. ⋯ This study confirms previous single-center findings that intraoperative hypotension throughout cardiac surgery is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury, mortality, or stroke.
