Abstract

Intraoperative hypotension (IOH), a common incidence during general anesthesia, poses a substantial risk to patients and necessitates prompt intervention. Vasopressors are used to regain adequate hemodynamics during IOH episodes. The use of phenylephrine and ephedrine are the first-line agents to counteract IOH. Norepinephrine (NE), a potent vasopressor, has gained recognition as a safe and effective option for addressing IOH through a push-dose technique.
