Before the Pressure Falls: Preoperative Autonomic Reserve as a Physiological Predictor of Hemodynamic Instability After General Anesthesia Induction
Background: Post-induction hypotension is a frequent complication of general anesthesia and may reflect inadequate cardiovascular compensation to anesthetic-induced vasodilation. Preoperative assessment of autonomic reserve may identify patients at increased risk. Methods: This prospective observational study included...
