MAP <65 mmHg pre- and post-incision was associated with AKI; leaves open timing-specific BP targets for prospective trials.
Does intra-operative hypotension before and after skin incision increase the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery?
Intra-operative hypotension, a substantial fraction of which occurs before surgical incision, is associated with an increased risk of postoperative acute kidney injury.
Maheshwari et al. (2018) studied this question.
