Abstract
This analysis of intra-operative variables has demonstrated that patients with poorly controlled and/or labile hypertension at induction of general anaesthesia were those at greatest risk of requiring treatment for PEH in the post-operative period after CEA. No other variables, including use of vasopressors, treatment of hypotension, anaesthetic agents, or changes in MCA velocity after clamp release and restoration of flow were able to predict who might go on to require treatment for PEH. Identification of at-risk individuals and aggressive blood pressure control in the post-operative period remains the mainstay of treatment.
