Effect of phenylephrine infusion on hypotension induced by the beach chair position: A prospective randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The beach chair position (BCP), used during shoulder surgery, is associated with hypotension, bradycardia, and risk of cerebral hypoperfusion. Phenylephrine is commonly used as a first treatment of choice of intraoperative hypotension during surgery. We evaluated the hemodynamic effects of 2 doses of intravenous phenylephrine infusion administered before being placed in BCP for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The primary endpoint was the incidence of hypotension after positional change.

Methods

Sixty-six patients were randomized to receive either intravenous normal saline (group NS) or intravenous phenylephrine infusion (0.5 μg/kg/min, group LP or 1.0 μg/kg/min, group HP) for 5 minutes before being placed in the BCP. Mean arterial pressure(MAP), heart rate, stroke
