Impact of Preanesthetic Blood Pressure Deviations on 30-Day Postoperative Mortality in Non-Cardiac Surgery Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Blood pressure readings taken before anesthesia often influence the decision to delay or cancel elective surgeries. However, the implications of these specific blood pressure values, especially how they compare to baseline, on postoperative in-hospital 30-day mortality remain underexplored. This research aimed to examine the effect of discrepancies between the baseline blood pressure evaluated in the ward a day before surgery, and the blood pressure observed just before the administration of anesthesia, on the postoperative mortality risks.

Methods

The study encompassed 60,534 adults scheduled for non-cardiac surgeries at a tertiary care center in Seoul, Korea. Baseline blood pressure was calculated as the mean of the blood pressure readings taken within 24 hours
