What should be checked first when sudden hypotension occurs under anesthesia?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. Patient, monitor, and surgical causes simultaneously

Sudden intraoperative hypotension needs rapid confirmation and assessment of anesthesia depth, bleeding, rhythm, ventilation, drug effects, and surgical events while treatment begins.

Option by option

  • A. Hair color

    Hair color is irrelevant to acute hemodynamics.

  • B. Patient, monitor, and surgical causes simultaneously (correct)

    Correct: systematic simultaneous assessment identifies reversible causes.

  • C. Room decoration

    Decoration has no clinical relevance.

  • D. Dental chart only
