The Effect of Leg Elevation on the Prevention of Intraoperative Hypotension During Shoulder Surgery in the Beach Chair Position
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating leg elevation for Intraoperative Hypotension and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of leg elevation on the prevention of intraoperative hypotension during shoulder surgery in the Beach-chair position. patients undergoing shoulder surgery in the Beach-chair position will be randomly assigned to Group L (with leg elevation) or Group C (no intervention). The primary outcome is the incidence of intraoperative hypotension (mean blood pressure \< 60mmHg or systolic blood pressure \< 80% of baseline). Secondary outcomes are the incidence of intraoperative cerebral desaturation (cerebral oxygen saturation \< 80% of baseline, longer than 30 seconds), total amounts of administered inotropic agents, and systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and cerebral oxygen saturation at various time points.
