IMPACT OF INTRAOPERATIVE HYPOTENSION ON CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING SPINAL AND GENERAL ANESTHESIA

Abstract

During anesthesia, intraoperative hypotension is a frequent consequence that affects up to 80% of patients. Despite being common, intra operative hypotension can have serious clinical consequences, such as increased morbidity and mortality, cerebral hypo-perfusion, renal dysfunction, and decreased cardiac output. Intra operative hypotension is linked to both spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia, albeit the risk factors and causes may be different. Developing successful prevention and care strategies for intra operative hypotension requires an understanding of its occurrence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes. With the goal of giving anesthesiologists and perioperative care teams important information, this study will look into how intra operative hypotension affects clinical outcomes in patients receiving spinal and general anesthesia. This study aims to examine the impact of intra operative hypotension on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing spinal and general anesthesia. In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients from the Bahria International Hospital Lahore participated. Standard instruments were used to gather data. There was assurance of the validity and reliability. Data analysis was facilitated with SPSS version 25. The study involved one hundred patients. According to the data, the average age is 55 years old (40%), females with high risk (55%) that have been under weight (47%) and are literate (65%). In conclusion, intraoperative hypotension during spinal and general anesthesia is a serious issue that can have a big impact on patient outcomes. In order to avoid and manage intra operative hypotension, the results of this study emphasize the significance of careful blood pressure monitoring and timely intervention. The frequency and impact of intra operative hypotension can be reduced by anesthesiologists and perioperative care teams by identifying high-risk patients and putting evidence-based measures into practice.
