Key result
Intraoperative hypotension complicates ~29% of non-emergent, non-cardiac surgeries.
Why the study?
Intraoperative hypotension is well-described in academic settings and linked to postoperative morbidity and mortality, but data in community practice are lacking.
Comparison
Variation across patient-, procedure-, and facility-level characteristics, and across clinicians
Design
Retrospective cross-sectional observational analysis

Intraoperative hypotension is common in community anesthesia practice, affecting 29% of non-emergent, non-cardiac surgery cases, with significant variation across clinicians.
Saasouh et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Non-emergent, non-cardiac surgery (n=127,095). Community anesthesia practice was evaluated on Incidence of intraoperative hypotension (MAP < 65 mmHg for 15 minutes or more cumulatively). Among 127,095 non-emergent, non-cardiac surgical cases in community anesthesia settings, 29.0% of patients experienced intraoperative hypotension (MAP < 65 mmHg for at least 15 minutes cumulatively).
