Hypotension during induction of anaesthesia is neither a reliable nor a useful quality measure for comparison of anaesthetists ’ performance

Conclusions. The AUC65 of time-weighted pre-incision hypotension is not a suitable metric for comparing anaesthetists. There were few at-risk patients, half the anaesthetists were not evaluable because of their case-mix and caseload, and hypotension was widely distributed.
