Why the study?
Intraoperative surgical site bleeding can contribute to disability and death, and deliberate hypotension is recommended as a management option.
Does deliberate hypotension reduce intraoperative surgical site blood loss and improve hemostasis in patients undergoing moderate to major surgery?

Endorses deliberate hypotension to minimize blood loss; provides Level 1 guidance for resource-limited surgical settings.
Does deliberate hypotension reduce intraoperative surgical site blood loss and improve hemostasis in patients undergoing moderate to major surgery?
Deliberate hypotension targeting a MAP of 50-65 mmHg is an effective blood conservation technique that improves hemostasis and shortens operative time with minimal complications.
