Abstract
Intraoperative hypertension (IOHTA) during neck surgery is undesirable because
this type of surgery has a propensity to bleed profoundly even in normotensive anesthesia. The purpose
of our study was to detect predictors of IOHTA in patients undergoing neck surgery. This single center
retrospective study included 880 adult patients who underwent neck surgery under general anesthesia.
The impact of gender, age, comorbidity, difficult tracheal intubation, anesthesia duration, and induced
hypotension on IOHTA was studied. IOHTA was present in 57 (6.7%) patients. The highest incidence
of IOHTA was recorded in patients with ASA 4 status and those with Cormack-Lehane grade 4,:
(22.2% and 21.4%, respectively). Significantly more patients with hypertension, hyperlipoproteinemia
and ventricular extrasystoles had IOHTA compared with patients without these comorbidities. Statistically
significant predictors of IOHTA were age (OR 1.438; 95% CI 1.144-1.808; p=0.002), cardiac
arrhythmia (OR 1.702; 95% CI 1.129-2.566; p=0.011), Cormack-Lehane grade (OR 1.407; 95% CI
1.054-1.878; p=0.020), and duration of anesthesia (OR 1.005; 95% CI 1.001-1.008; p=0.005). The risk
of IOHTA occurrence was lower in patients with induced hypotension (OR 0.024; 95% CI 0.003-0.185;
p=0.000). During neck surgery, special attention is needed in patients of older age, those with cardiac
arrhythmia, difficult intubation, and longer anesthesia duration because they are at risk of IOHTA.
