Hospital costs associated with intraoperative hypotension among non-cardiac surgical patients in the US: a simulation model.
CONCLUSIONS: The model results suggest improved intraoperative hypotension control in a hospital with annual volume 10,000 non-cardiac surgical patients is associated with mean cost reductions ranging from $1.2 to $4.6 million per year. Since the magnitude of the RCT mean estimate is similar to the unadjusted observational model, the institutional costs are likely at the upper end of this range.
