About this webinar
Maintaining stable blood pressure during surgery is a key responsibility of anaesthetists. Peri-operative omission and reintroduction of antihypertensive drugs, general anaesthesia, neuraxial and regional techniques can all cause significant fluctuations in blood pressure, particularly in patients with hypertension. Since the first edition of this guideline there has been more literature regarding peri-operative management, but some areas still lack standardisation.
This webinar will explore the new guidelines and their recommendations, with talks from members of the working party
Login will be available from 17:50, but the broadcast will not start until 18:00.
