Summary

This study looks at whether giving IV fluids before surgery can prevent low blood pressure after anesthesia is started. Researchers will monitor 550 adults at risk for blood pressure drops during major non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if this simple step reduces the need for emergency medications and improves patient outcomes.
