A Systolic Blood Pressure of 100 mm Hg Is Optimal for Optimal Visualization in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in the Beach-Chair Position.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the relationship between visualization and blood pressure during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in the beach-chair position and to clarify the optimal blood pressure to maintain good visualization during surgery.

Methods

One senior surgeon evaluated intraoperative visualization at the start of arthroscopy, at acromioplasty, at the refresh of the footprint on the greater tuberosity, at marrow vent creation in the footprint on the greater tuberosity, and at rotator cuff fixation. The evaluation grades were: 5, clear; 4, mild bleeding; 3, bleeding but operable; 2, poor visualization due to bleeding; and 1, inability to continue surgery due to massive bleeding. During ARCR, an arterial line was inserted, and blood pressure was measured continuousl
