This essential TopMedTalk Highlight represents the culmination of a number of important threads we’ve been examining over the last few years around interoperative hypotension (IOH).

Could we see an end to the era of dangerous interoerative hypotension?

Selected and edited for your convenience this was originally released as a long form conversation; part of our exclusive coverage of the annual International Anesthesia Research Society, (IARS) meeting organised with the Association of University Anesthesiologists (AUA) and The Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists (SOCCA).
