  2. Hypotension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotension

    Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a cardiovascular condition characterized by abnormally reduced blood pressure. [1] Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood [2] and is indicated by two numbers, the systolic blood pressure (the top number) and the diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), which are the ...

  3. Permissive hypotension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_hypotension

    Permissive hypotension or hypotensive resuscitation [1] is the use of restrictive fluid therapy, specifically in the trauma patient, that increases systemic blood pressure without reaching normotension (normal blood pressures). The goal blood pressure for these patients is a mean arterial pressure of 40-50 mmHg or systolic blood pressure of ...

  4. Orthostatic hypotension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension

    Initial orthostatic hypotension is frequently characterized by a systolic blood pressure decrease of ≥40 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure decrease of ≥20 mmHg within 15 seconds of standing. [32] Blood pressure then spontaneously and rapidly returns to normal, so the period of hypotension and symptoms is short (<30 s). [32]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    Novel methods to measure blood pressure without penetrating the arterial wall, and without applying any pressure on patient's body are being explored, [106] for example, cuffless measurements that uses only optical sensors. [107] In office blood pressure measurement, terminal digit preference is common.

    Exercise can lower blood pressure without medication, so experts have been urging doctors to prescribe it for people with hypertension, which is defined at or above 130/80 mmHg. But what kind of ...

  8. Hypovolemic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemic_shock

    The aim is to achieve a systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg in order to maintain tissue perfusion without inducing re-bleeding from recently clotted vessels. Permissive hypotension is a means of restricting fluid administration until hemorrhage is controlled while accepting a short period of suboptimal end-organ perfusion.

  9. Orthostatic syncope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_syncope

    Orthostatic syncope refers to syncope resulting from a postural decrease in blood pressure, termed orthostatic hypotension. [1]Orthostatic hypotension occurs when there is a persistent reduction in blood pressure of at least 20mmHg systolic or 10mmHg diastolic within three minutes of standing or being upright to 60 degrees on the head-up tilt table.
