Maintaining blood pressure levels measured before entering OR may improve outcomes

When a patient arrives in the operating room (O.R.) for surgery, one of the first things a physician will do is take his or her blood pressure, a “baseline” measurement used throughout the procedure. However, a new study has found that blood pressure taken before the patient enters the O.R. may produce more accurate measurements and should be used to determine baseline blood pressure.
