Key result
Intraoperative hypotension occurs in ~31% of patients undergoing non-cardiac ambulatory surgery.
Why the study?
The incidence of intraoperative hypotension during surgery in ambulatory surgery centers and its associated patient and procedural characteristics were not well described.
Population
16,750 patients having non-emergent, non-cardiac surgery with ASA physical status 2 through 4
Design
Retrospective analysis across 20 ASCs

Yes
Intraoperative hypotension is common during non-cardiac surgery in ambulatory surgery centers, occurring in nearly a third of cases.
Saasouh et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Non-emergent, non-cardiac surgery (n=16,750). Non-emergent, non-cardiac surgery in ambulatory surgery centers was evaluated on Mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg for at least 15 cumulative minutes. Intraoperative hypotension (MAP <65 mmHg for ≥15 minutes) occurred in 30.9% of patients undergoing non-emergent, non-cardiac surgery in ambulatory surgery centers.
