Abstract EN
Steady blood pressure within normal limits during surgery is one of the markers of the ideal and skillful anesthesia.
Yet, reduced blood pressure is advantageous in some settings because it can contribute to a reduction in overall blood loss and improve the surgical field conditions.
Controlled hypotension during anesthesia or hypotensive anesthesia is often used in major maxillofacial operations.
Since hypotensive anesthesia carries the risk of hypoperfusion to important organs and tissues, mainly the brain, heart, and kidneys, it cannot be applied safely in all patients.
In this paper we review the medical literature regarding hypotensive anesthesia during major maxillofacial surgery, the means to achieve it, and the risks and benefits of this technique, in comparison to normotensive anesthesia.
