"BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART RATE DYNAMICS IN NORMOTENSIVE AND HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS ADMINISTERED ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKERS DURING SPINAL ANESTHESIA"

Abstract

Background: Hypotension is the most common complication associated with spinal anesthesia, particularly prevalent in patients with a history of hypertension. Regular use of antihypertensive medications can help mitigate this effect. However, the continuation of drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system on the day of surgery remains a subject of debate.
