Prognostic Model for Vasopressor Requirement After Retroperitoneal Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma: A Retrospective Study
Authors' conclusion
A MaxSBP >195 mmHg, baseline adrenergic activity >5.1-fold increase in the upper limit of normal values, and baseline CAD could predict postresection requirements for vasoactive support.
