Arterial Elastance: A Predictor of Hypotension Due to Anesthesia Induction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypotension is common after anesthesia induction and may have adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether arterial elastance (Ea) is a predictor of post-induction hypotension.

Methods

Between January and June 2022, the hemodynamic parameters of 85 patients who underwent major surgery under general anesthesia were prospectively evaluated. The noncalibrated pulse contour device MostCare (Vytech, Vygon, Padua, Italy) was used to measure hemodynamic parameters before and after anesthesia induction. The duration of the measurements was determined from one minute before induction to 10 min after induction. Hypotension was defined as a greater than 30% decrease in mean arterial pressure from the pre-induction value and/or systolic arterial pressure
