Why the study?
Do intraoperative blood pressure changes increase the risk of anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing colorectal surgery?
Do intraoperative blood pressure changes increase the risk of anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing colorectal surgery?
Intraoperative hypotension and high preoperative diastolic blood pressure are identified as risk factors for anastomotic leakage in complex colorectal surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Caution advised with profound intraoperative hypotension in complex colorectal cases; leaves open whether BP interventions reduce leakage risk.
Post et al. (2012) studied this question.
