Abstract
Purpose of review: This editorial aims to highlight the evolving concept of protective hemodynamics in the management of critically ill patients.
Recent findings: Recent literature underscores the limitations of rigid blood pressure targets, particularly in the context of critical care and perioperative management. High blood pressure targets, especially when coupled with high-dose vasopressors, can lead to poor outcomes. 'Protective hemodynamics' aims to maintain cardiovascular stability while reducing risks associated with interventions.
Summary: The implications of adopting protective hemodynamics are profound for both clinical practice and research. Clinically, this approach can reduce iatrogenic harm and improve long-term outcomes for critically ill patients. For research, it opens new avenues for investigating individualized hemodynamic management strategies that prioritize overall patient stability and long-term health over rigid target attainment.
