[Hypertension and surgical risk]

The perioperative risk of the patients with hypertension improves when the antihypertensive therapy is continued to the date of operation and a differentiated selection of narcotics and narcosis adjuvants as well as a careful narcotization is performed. In these cases the continuous control of the patient is necessary. In case of an operative intervention hypertension must be reason for the interdisciplinary cooperation between internist, surgeon and anaesthesiologist.
