1) Preoperative hypertension is common and increases the risk of perioperative complications, however well-controlled hypertension may not need surgery postponement.
2) Isolated systolic hypertension over 180 mmHg and high pulse pressure over 80 mmHg are associated with increased risk and reasonable to postpone surgery.
3) Left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction from long-standing hypertension increase perioperative risk and require careful fluid management during surgery.

Anaesthetic consideration in smokers alcoholic and drug addicts. As an anaesthesiologist we must be aware with the problems associated with their management and interaction with anaesthetics.
The tumescent liposuction procedure involves the use of lidocaine (a local anesthetic), epinephrine (a hormone and a neurotransmitter that shrinks blood vessels and minimizes bleeding), and a saline solution that is injected into the treatment area. The fluid causes the fat and skin to swell up, making it easier to suction out excess fatty cells.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Increased number of fungiform papillae
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Massachusetts General Hospital. Surg Gynecol Obstet 1929; 49: 54–8
• Sprague first identified an association
between hypertension and perioperative
cardiac risk in 1929.
• He described a series of 75 hypertensive
patients of whom one‐third died in the
perioperative period; 12 of these had
cardiovascular complications.

VII’ covering a period of 15
years, 1971 – 1986.

Anesthesiologist’s Dilemma…
Historical background…
16. • 25% of the hypertensive- significant decreases BP that
led to ischaemic changes.
• Well controlled hypertensive behaved in a similar
manner to the normotensive patients.
Conclusion
• Untreated high arterial pressure constitutes a serious
risk to patients undergoing surgery
• Antihypertensive therapy should not be withdrawn
prior to anaesthesia without a compelling reason.
C. Prys Roberts etal Brit. J. Anaesth.1971
17. This recommendation led to a major change in
anesthetic practice during that period.
The recommendations of Prys-Roberts and
colleagues therefore need to be reconsidered in the
light of the modern views of hypertension and its
management.
Anesthesiologist’s Dilemma…
Historical background
18. • Prospectively studied (1975-1976)
• N= 676 Patients under going elective general
anesthesia .
• Divided into 5 groups
Effective intraoperative management may be more
important than preoperative hypertension control
for significant BP liability and cardiovascular
complication in patient with mild to moderate
hypertension
19. •A systematic review and meta‐analysis of 30 observational
studies
•Demonstrated an odds ratio for the association between
hypertensive disease and perioperative cardiac outcomes of
1.35 (1.17–1.56).
•This association is statistically but not clinically significant.
•Little evidence for an association between admission SBP
<180mmHg or 110 mmHg DBP & perioperative
complications.
• Surgery should not be cancelled on the grounds of
elevated preoperative arterial pressure.
• The intraoperative arterial pressure should be
maintained within 20% of baseline.
• Attention should be paid to the presence of target
organ damage & other risk scores.
20. Curr Opin Anesthesiol 2016
Target organ damage associated with hypertensive disease
and total cardiovascular risk, rather than high BP per se
appear to determine perioperative risk.
Isolated systolic hypertension with increased pulse pressure
and diastolic dysfunction predominates in the elderly and
constitutes a particular perioperative risk profile.
Monitoring techniques based on near-infrared spectroscopy
show promise for real time assessment of autoregulation
limits
Key Points
21. • Prospective randomized 989 patients for stage 3
Hypertension (DBP 110~130 mmHg) without clinical
risk factors : Compared delayed operation with
immediate BP control with Nifedipine
• Control group: Surgical procedures postponed and
remained in the hospital for control of BP.
• Study group : Immediate BP control with Nifedipine
No significant differences in Peri-operative
complications
22. 5 different case scenarios with multiple case information
and questioners were sent regarding patient with stage
2,3 & 4 hypertension to the anesthesiologist sent via
mail of south western service of UK (n = 488)
Key points:
• Stage 1 and 2 Hypertension: Surgery proceed
• Stage 3 and 4 Hypertension: Deferred and treatment of
high BP
24. •2417 patients undergoing CABG in 24 medical centers
• Normotensive, ISH(>140 mm Hg), DBP (>90 mmHg),
or a combination of these
• ISH associated with a 40% increased risk of adverse
outcomes (odds ratio, 1.4; confidence interval, 1.1–
1.7).
•Increased risk of adverse outcomes with ISH was 30%.

•19.1% patients had fatal and non fatal vascular complications
• Hospital mortality 3.1% & PP hypertension was strongly
associated with it.
•Incidence of cerebral events/or mortality nearly doubled in PP>
80 vs < 80 mmHg(5.5% vs 2.8%)
•PP > 80mmHg increased incidence of 52% .
Manuel L. Fontes et al in 2008
• PP hypertension independently and
significantly associated with greater fatal and
nonfatal adverse events in CABG.
28. •The relationship between PP and hemodynamic
instability index was assessed using multiple
regression analysis.
•63% of hypertensive subjects had a PP > 60 mmHg.
•Among hypertensives
49% had no DD
31% had a mild DD
20% had a moderate or severe DD
J Anesthe Clinic Res 2011
• Hemodynamic instability was significantly higher
in hypertensives.
• Hypertensive patients with and without DD had
similar hemodynamic instability index.
• This index was positively correlated with PP(p <
0.0001)
29. In cardiac surgery, high preoperative pulse pressures
have been associated with fatal & non fatal cardiac
events
This has not been consistently observed in patients
under going non-cardiac surgery
Anesthesiologist’s Dilemma…
PP hypertension…
31. •Diastolic dysfunction with LVH, is a specific syndrome that
affects cardiovascular reserve and may evolve to a distinct type
of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
•Poor tolerance to hypovolemia.
• Increased risk for fluid overload.
• Patients have very narrow margins for fluid optimization.

Anesthesiologist’s Dilemma…
Duration of BP reduction
43. Anesthesiologist’s Dilemma…
BP reduction strategies
Should be achieved gradually unless there is concomitant
hypertensive emergency
There are no controlled studies demonstrating long-term
improved outcomes with acute treatment of severe
asymptomatic hypertension
Reducing severely elevated blood pressure below the
autoregulatory zone too quickly can result in markedly
decreased perfusion to the brain and eventually ischemia or
infarction.
No role of cosmetic correction of asymptomatic
uncontrolled hypertension

peripheral resistance vessels in 3-5 weeks in SHR

for vascular(arterial and myocardial)
adaptation with normalization of
autoregulation.

Anesthesiologist’s Dilemma…
Targeting intra-operative BP
• Evidence-based, intra-operative haemodynamic
targets are urgently required.
• Systolic or mean arterial pressure ± 20% (sweet
spot) of a pre-operative measurement is often
recommended.
53.
54. Cardiac adverse event were more likely to experience an
episode of MAP < 50 mmHg or 40% decrease in MAP, and
an episode of HR > 100 bpm
Together, these data suggest that maintenance of
normal blood pressure is critical in patients with
hypertension
55. Anesthesiologist’s Dilemma…
• Try to maintain intraoperative BP ± 20% of
baseline (around ± 20% )
• Prevent & treat Hypotension promptly
56. •Preoperative B-type natriuretic peptide could be a useful
adjunct for risk stratification (but insufficient evidence for
routine screening test)
•Recent studies show that processed near-infrared
spectroscopy (NIRS) information in relation to changes in
BP allows for noninvasive assessment of autoregulation.
•An increase in pulse wave velocity by 1 m/s was reported to
cause a 15% adjusted risk increase.
•It may prove valuable risk indicator in the preoperative
assessment of hypertensive patients.
Recent Advances
58. Watch out for intraoperative labile & fluctuation blood
pressure.
Stage 1 & 2 Hypertension
Patients with stage one and two hypertension who do not
have evidence of organ dysfunction; proceed to surgery
Although surgery may not have to be delayed but
appropriate referrals should be made so that patients will
have future appropriate postoperative management of
inadequately managed hypertension
Significant target organ involvement should be considered
for preoperative treatment
60. Stage three hypertension, it is probably justified
to postpone elective surgery to investigate for
target organ damage and to institute therapy.
Stage 3 Hypertension
61. •These patients need to be on treatment for 4 to 6
weeks before surgery.
Stage 4 Hypertension
•Stage 4 hypertension appear to present a significant
perioperative risk. Surgery should be deferred for
treatment.
•There is no place for “cosmetic correction”
immediately prior to surgery
62. ISH > 180 & PP > 80 mmHg reasonable to postpone
for optimization of BP
Significant Target Organ Damage & other risk
factors taken in consideration
ISH & PP Hypertension
63. But Rememberǃǃ
Hypertension has disappeared from clinical risk
from perioperative guidelines, this does not
mean that hypertension is no longer a
concern for the perioperative period.
LV hypertrophy, tachycardia and hypotension
are a dreadful triad in hypertensive patient
40% of the adult population is being classified as hypertensive
Tripling of prevalence from 1981 to 2006 in the same community of Nepal.
A total of 955 patients were studied and analyzed in terms of hypertension and demographic characteristics.
The importance of tight BP control in the longterm prevention of cardiovascular events is well
established and based on strong evidence. This does not apply to the perioperative period
Cancelled operations can annoy patients and their families. They are a major drain on health resources, increases theatre costs, results in wasted operating room time and decreases efficiency
Cedric Prys-Roberts was a research fellow with Senior Registrar ,he became Professor of
Anaesthesia in Bristo. These papers are the ‘skeleton’ on which all the other papers about hypertension and anesthesia.
Intraopetative Cardiovascular responses of treated and untreated patients, normotensive, untreated hypertensive and treated hypertensive patients.
Results;
As already stated, all of the control patients in the study by Prys- Roberts and colleagues would now be considered to be hypertensive.
Group I normotensive, II normotensive(with diuretics for other reason) III Hypertensive but now normotensive with use to antihypertensive,IV hypertensive despite use of antihypertensive and V hypertensive without medication, Diastolic >110 not included
demonstrated an odds ratio for the association between hypertensive disease and perioperative cardiac outcomes of 1.35 (1.17–1.56).
After surgery, patients had an ECG performed at every 8-hour shift, total CPK and MB mass fraction measured daily during the first 3 postoperative days.
Adverse outcomes included left ventricular dysfunction, cerebral vascular dysfunction or events, renal insufficiency or failure, and all-cause mortality
Rearrange it
A possible relationship between LVDD and intraoperative hemodynamic instability was not studied much.
National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP)
The options available to the anaesthetist are: to ignore the elevated arterial pressure and to continue with anaesthesia and surgery; to institute acute treatment to control the arterial pressure; or to defer surgery for a period of weeks to allow the arterial pressure to be controlled.
They are at risk of dangerous hypertensive crises likely to cause intracranial haemorrhage, acute left ventricular failure, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, or renal failure
Cerebral blood flow in the parietal cortex and caudate nucleus was measured to determine the
lower limit using the hydrogen clearance method.
SES sub endothelial space Ultrastructural and morphometric studies were carried out on the aorta and intrarenal vessels.
