PPI Guided Strategies for Prevention and Treatment of Intraoperative Hypotension

Intraoperative hypotension is closely related to the poor prognosis of surgery. Hypotension decreased blood flow perfusion of organs, which lead to dysfunction of multiple organs, especially increasing serious complications such as cardio-cerebrovascular events and acute renal injury within 30 days after surgery. The aim of this study is to establish a set of strategies that can effectively prevent and treat intraoperative hypotension, so as to alleviate possible harm to patients from perioperative hypotension. The study is focused on the effectiveness of maintaining normal peripheral perfusion index (PPI) on time-weighted average of hypotension during anesthesia. The lower target mean arterial pressure (MAP) was higher than 65 mmHg. MAP less than 65 mmHg was defined as intraoperative hypotension between induction and tracheal extubation.
