Echocardiographic parameters predicting PIh

Predictors	Hypotension		p-value
	YES	NO
	Mean ± SD
ECHO pre-induction
EPSS Value Pre-induction	5.420 ± 1.807	5.413 ± 2.298	0.983
TAPSE Value Pre-induction	17.663 ± 2.456	18.545 ± 2.151	0.014
IVC Collapsibility Index Pre-induction	0.42 ± 0.200	0.43 ± 0.14	0.655

This table compares the point-of-care echocardiography parameters (EPSS and TAPSE) between patients who had PIh (N = 71) and those who did not (N = 101). The p-values were derived from t-tests

EPSS End Point Septal Separation, TAPSE Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion, IVC Inferior vena cava, SD Standard Deviation
