Permissive hypotension refers to a deliberate medical strategy, particularly in emergency and critical care settings, where blood pressure is allowed to remain lower than normal to minimize the risk of further injury or complications. This approach is often used in situations where significant bleeding or trauma has occurred, ensuring adequate vasoconstriction and organ perfusion and preventing adverse effects during resuscitation.The procedure is beneficial in hemodynamically unstable patients. However, the impact of demographics and prior history on the effectiveness of permissive hypotension is unknown, and its efficacy in blunt trauma cases is variable. Understanding the effects of excessive or insufficient volume in trauma care requires a profound grasp of cardiovascular physiology relating to systemic and peripheral circulations.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ proficiency in recognizing permissive hypotension indications and applying the appropriate technique when administering this intervention. After participation, learners gain valuable insights regarding this technique’s proper application in emergencies, enabling them to contribute more meaningfully within an interprofessional team caring for patients with severe traumatic injuries.
