Brief Summary

The prevention of intraoperative hypotension could reduce postoperative organ injury and mortality, particularly in elderly patients receiving long-term renin-angiotensin system inhibitors. Previous meta-analyses suggest that ciprofol, a novel intravenous anesthetic agent, may provide improved hemodynamic stability compared to propofol; however, its precise effects on perioperative hemodynamics remain unclear. The study will assess whether ciprofol improves perioperative hemodynamic stability in elderly patients receiving renin-angiotensin system inhibitors.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia 2. Duration of surgery exceeding 2 hours 3.
