Intraoperative hypotension and perioperative acute ischemic stroke in patients having major elective non-cardiovascular non-neurological surgery

ConclusionOur analysis suggests that when MAP is less than 60  mmHg for more than 20 min, there is increased odds of acute ischemic stroke. Further studies are needed to determine what MAP should be targeted during surgery to optimize cerebral perfusion and limit ischemic stroke risk.
