Summary
This study looked at whether placing elderly patients (ages 65-90) in a slight head-down tilt (10 degrees) during anesthesia induction can prevent dangerously low blood pressure. 168 patients having abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to either the tilt or flat position. The main goal was to measure how much blood pressure stayed below a safe threshold in the first 15 minutes after anesthesia.
