Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuing or discontinuing furosemide a diuretic on the day of elective noncardiac surgery for those who take furosemide on a chronic basis causes more intraoperative hypotension low blood pressure during surgery Our hypothesis is that the usual practice of continuing furosemide on the day of surgery would contribute to more hypotension during surgery than discontinuing furosemide
Detailed Description: A significant proportion of patients who undergo surgery take medications on a chronic basis Little is known about the effects of these medications on the successful conduct of anesthesia and surgery Diuretics like furosemide may contribute to low blood pressure during surgery an outcome associated with cardiovascular complications However many patients are recommended to take their diuretics on the day of surgery We wished to determine if preoperative administration of furosemide contributes to intraoperative hypotension compared to placebo

Comparison We conducted a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to compare the effect of furosemide with that of placebo on intraoperative hypotension using intraoperative blood pressure recordings in patients who take furosemide chronically and were undergoing noncardiac surgery
