Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing an intensive intraoperative blood pressure management strategy versus conventional practice for preventing cardiovascular events in high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
Detailed Description
Intraoperative hypotension has been associated with cardiovascular events after non-cardiac surgery. However, whether avoiding intraoperative hypotension can reduce the incidence of postoperative cardiovascular events remains unclear. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of an intensive intraoperative blood pressure management strategy (to maintain intraoperative MAP ≥ 80mmHg) with that of conventional practice (to maintain intraoperative MAP ≥ 65mmHg) on the incidence of cardiovascular events after major abdominal surgery.
