Explain why the avoidance of vasoconstrictor may cause increase risk for a patient with high blood pressure?
What will be an ideal response?
The lack of profound anesthesia can result in unmanageable pain that in turn can lead to unpredictable spikes in blood pressure due to the endogenous release of epinephrine. The impact of the potential endogenous release is far less predictable due to the difficulty in anticipating quantities that might be released. This release can compound the adverse adrenergic effects of exogenous (injected) epinephrine.
