Unfortunately, hypotension is a common side effect of general anaesthesia, hypotension can be incredibly detrimental to our patient in both the short and long term. We may have improved their health and wellbeing through performing surgery but we must ensure we do not harm any other part of the patient whilst doing so.
Objectives for the webinar:
• Understand how to obtain an accurate non invasive blood pressure reading

• Recognise hypotension
