Methods
hypertensive, hypotension
Ultrasound IVCCI % was assessed for all controlled hypertensive patients immediately before induction of GA. After induction of GA, patients were diagnosed with postinduction hypotension if their systolic arterial pressure (SAP) dropped by ≥ 30% of the baseline value and/or mean arterial pressure (MAP) dropped to < 65 mmHg up to 15 min after intubation. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of IVCCI% was compared to patients’ classification either developing hypotension after induction of GA or not as a gold standard.
