May support reclining beach-chair induction to limit hypotension; leaves open need for randomized outcome trials.
Does induction of anesthesia in a reclining beach-chair position improve hemodynamic stability compared to the sitting beach-chair position?
Inducing anesthesia in a reclining rather than sitting beach-chair position attenuates hypotension and reduces the need for vasopressors, indicating more stable hemodynamics.
Lyngeraa et al. (2014) studied this question.
