Key result
Continuous blood pressure monitoring with arterial catheters or noninvasive sensors enables clinicians to detect and treat perioperative hypotension immediately.
Why the study?
Perioperative hypotension is associated with postoperative complications, making accurate and tight blood pressure monitoring crucial to avoid profound and prolonged hypotension.
Does continuous blood pressure monitoring reduce perioperative hypotension in patients having surgery?
Does continuous blood pressure monitoring reduce perioperative hypotension in patients having surgery?
Continuous blood pressure monitoring enables immediate detection and treatment of perioperative hypotension, which may help avoid postoperative complications.
Continuous BP monitoring may reduce perioperative hypotension; hypothesis-generating without randomized outcome data.
Hypotension can occur before, during, and after surgery and is associated with postoperative complications. Anesthesiologists should thus avoid profound and prolonged hypotension. A crucial part of avoiding hypotension is accurate and tight blood pressure monitoring. In this narrative review, we briefly describe methods for continuous blood pressure monitoring, discuss current evidence for continuous blood pressure monitoring in patients having surgery to reduce perioperative hypotension, and expand on future directions and innovations in this field. In summary, continuous blood pressure monitoring with arterial catheters or noninvasive sensors enables clinicians to detect and treat hypotension immediately. Furthermore, advanced hemodynamic monitoring technologies and artificial intelligence-in combination with continuous blood pressure monitoring-may help clinicians identify underlying causes of hypotension or even predict hypotension before it occurs.
