May prompt enhanced BP surveillance postoperatively; leaves open whether targeting higher pressures improves outcomes.
Is increasing hypotension associated with acute kidney injury, myocardial injury, and mortality in postoperative critically ill patients?
Lower mean arterial pressures in postoperative critically ill patients are strongly associated with adverse renal and myocardial outcomes, as well as mortality.
Khanna et al. (2019) studied this question.
