How does bp stabilize after open heart surgery? if you'r on a lot of iv drugs to help bp, in what way does your body adapt to stop needing the iv meds
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You need less meds: may be because some of the reasons for high blood pressure like pain and anxiety (and even underlying ischemia) disappear after surgery
