Perioperative Hypotension
Perioperative Hypotension
Relevant curriculum items for this topic refer mostly to hypotensive anaesthesia (Final FRCA) or management of pathological hypotension e.g. as a cause of cardiac arrest (Primary FRCA).
This topic is probably expendable for the time-poor candidate given the lack of a relevant BJA Education article and no previous CRQs on the subject.
