Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how perioperative hypertension is managed in Europe, given the lack of agreement on blood pressure targets.
- An online survey involving 339 participants (mostly anesthesiologists) revealed most aim for systolic blood pressure (SBP) between 120-140 mmHg during surgeries.
- Common medications used include α-adrenoreceptor antagonists, nitrates, and calcium channel blockers, with a preference for those that allow titratable control; less than 20% of procedures experienced treatment failures.

Background: The combination of surgery, bacterial spread-out, and artificial cardiopulmonary bypass surfaces results in a release of key inflammatory mediators leading to an overshooting systemic hyper-inflammatory condition frequently associated with compromised hemodynamics and organ dysfunction. A promising approach could be extracorporeal blood purification therapies in combination with IgM enriched immunoglobulin. This approach might perform a balanced control of both hyper and hypo-inflammatory phases as an immune-modulating intervention.
