Diretrizes para o tratamento da hipotensão arterial intraoperatória de cães e gatos

Intraoperative hypotension is the main anesthetic complication in dogs and cats, even in elective surgeries. If intraoperative hypotension is not identified or corrected, tissue hypoperfusion and the development of organ dysfunctions may occur in the postoperative period. Therefore, this study aims to help veterinarians, anesthesiologists and undergraduate students in veterinary medicine to establish an assertive diagnosis and determine the ideal therapy in cases of intraoperative hypotension in different scenarios, standardizing the treatment flow based on its etiology, in order to increase the safety of the anesthetic act. minimize the hemodynamic impact of hypotension and provide better postoperative prognosis for dogs and cats.
