Intraoperative Goal-directed Blood Pressure and Dexmedetomidine on Outcomes

Perioperative organ injuriy remain an important threat to patients undergoing major surgeries. Intraoperative hypotension is associated with an increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality. Whereas individualized intraoperative blood pressure management is likely to decrease the incidence of postoperative organ injury when compared with standard blood pressure management strategy. Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective alpha2 adrenergic agonist, has been shown to provide organ protective effects. This study aims to investigate the impact of intraoperative goal-directed blood pressure management and dexmedetomidine infusion on incidence of postoperative organ injury in high-risk patients undergoing major surgery.
