Objective: To investigate the efficacy of reducing post-gastrectomy hemorrhage by increasing blood pressure at the end of gastric surgery and to evaluate whether this clinical intervention affects the stability of patients' postoperative circulatory system.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 499 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy under general anesthesia at our center between January 2023 and January 2024. After 1:1 propensity score matching, the experimental group comprised 157 patients whose operation cavities were examined after increasing blood pressure before the end of gastrectomy, while the control group included 157 patients whose operation cavities were examined using routine procedures without increasing blood pressure.
