Comparison of intraoperative arterial blood pressure lability during general anaesthesia in masked, uncontrolled hypertensive and adequately controlled hypertensive patients: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hypertensive patients are known to have increased perioperative arterial blood pressure (BP) lability, which is related to cardiovascular events. Masked uncontrolled hypertensive patients are at high cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to compare BP lability during general anaesthesia in treated hypertensive patients with normal clinic BP, between masked uncontrolled hypertension and adequately controlled hypertension.

Material and methods

Forty-three patients with apparently controlled BP were initially enrolled in this prospective observational study. Home BP was monitored and patients classified into diagnostic groups. Perioperative BP profiles were recorded from before anaesthesia induction until discharge from the recovery room. BP lability was assessed u
