Summary

This pilot study tests whether keeping blood pressure higher than usual during and after major surgery can reduce serious complications involving the heart, kidneys, and brain. About 80 adults aged 45 and older who take blood pressure medication and are having major non-cardiac surgery will be randomly assigned to either tight or routine blood pressure management. The study aims to see if the tight control approach is feasible and safe before planning a larger trial.
