About

The purpose of this observational study is to investigate the predictive power of pulse pressure variability during forced inhalation（PPVfi） on the occurrence of hypotension in elderly patients after induction of general anesthesia. The main question it aims to answer is:

Can the PPVfi predict the occurrence of hypotension in elderly patients after induction of general anesthesia? By recording the PPV of patients during forced inhalation before anesthesia induction, with the incidence of hypotension as the state variable and PPV as the test variable, the area under the ROC curve was calculated to determine the optimal threshold, sensitivity, and specificity of PPV.

Full description

Post-induction hypotension(PIH) usually refers to the hypotension that occurs during the period from anesthesia induction to skin incision, which often occurs during general anesthesia induction. During this period, anesthesiologists may delay the identification and management of hypotension induced by general anesthesia due to their focus on airway management or invasive procedures. Although hypotension usually lasts for a short period of time and can be corrected through fluid replacement and/or medication, there are still studies suggesting that PIH may be associated with adverse postoperative outcomes such as myocardial injury, stroke, and acute kidney injury. Research on predicting PIH both domestically and internationally has focused on evaluating preoperative volume status and autonomic nervous system function. The main indicators for assessing volume responsiveness include pulse pressure variability（PPV）, stroke variability, pulse variability index, perfusion index, etc. Studies have shown that the sensitivity and specificity of pulse pressure variability in identifying PIH are 86% and 86.2%, respectively. In recent years, scholars have proposed that PPV during forced inspiratory breathing (PPVfi) can be used to evaluate patients' volume responsiveness. However, existing research on predicting PIH with pulse pressure variability is mostly focused on middle-aged and young people. However, being over 50 years old is one of the high-risk factors for hypotension after anesthesia induction, and the elderly population has a greater risk of developing hypotension. This study is a non interventional observational prospective study that explores the prediction of hypotension in elderly patients after induction of general anesthesia by exploring the PPV. It helps anesthesiologists to identify and intervene in hypotension after induction of general anesthesia in advance, reducing the occurrence of adverse outcomes after general anesthesia.
