Implication

Chronic metoprolol use may exacerbate hypotension during spinal anesthesia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Does chronic therapy with metoprolol affect changes in arterial blood pressure during spinal anesthesia in patients aged 35-65 years?

Population

70 patients aged 35-65 years undergoing spinal anesthesia for 'bloodless' surgeries (inguinal hernia repair, bladder tumor operation, prostatic surgery, urethra and lower extremities operations). Excluded: pregnant women, patients with diabetes, renal, hepatic and heart diseases.

Intervention

Chronic therapy with metoprolol for essential hypertension

Comparator

No beta-blocker therapy (patients with ASA I status)

Outcome

Changes in arterial blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean) after performing spinal anesthesiasurrogate

Chronic beta-blocker therapy with metoprolol significantly exacerbates the decrease in systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure during spinal anesthesia.
