Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intraoperative systolic blood pressure variability predicts 30-day mortality in aortocoronary bypass surgery patients.
Few data support an association between blood pressure variability and clinical outcomes during cardiac surgery. We tested the hypothesis that intraoperative systolic blood pressure variability outside a targeted blood pressure range predicts 30-day mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. ⋯ Intraoperative blood pressure variability is associated with 30-day postoperative mortality in patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass surgery.
