Incidence, Severity, and Detection of Blood Pressure Perturbations after Abdominal Surgery A Prospective Blinded Observational Study

Conclusions Postoperative hypotension and hypertension were common, prolonged, profound, and largely undetected by routine vital-sign assessments in a cohort of adults recovering from abdominal surgery. Frequent or continuous blood pressure monitoring may detect hemodynamic perturbations more effectively and potentially facilitate treatment.
