DOI: 10.1080/13696998.2019.1591147
Abstract: Abstract Objective: Recent studies indicate intraoperative hypotension, common in non-cardiac surgical patients, is associated with myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, and mortality. This study extends on these findings by quantifying the association between intraoperative hypotension… read more here.
