  • Abstract
    Predicting major adverse events following surgery remains a significant problem. Currently, the perioperative period is too often considered a black box, with risk assessment and prediction largely based on static pre-surgical parameters. Here, we review the problem of intraoperative hypotension and outline some of the opportunities for improved monitoring during surgery.
