Finally there is decreased responsiveness to adrenergic receptor stimulation, a decreased reactivity to baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, and an increase in circulating catecholamines. These ...
The baroreceptors are less sensitive to fluctuations in blood pressure, and there is enhanced potential for orthostatic hypotension, particularly in the patient taking diuretics, antihypertensives ...
Baroreceptors in the carotid artery are of crucial importance in regulation of HR and BP. During spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension, this reflex may be paradoxically active. If hypotension is ...
