This clinical review synthesizes current evidence on individualized blood pressure management across the perioperative continuum, highlighting procedure-specific risks such as bone cement implantation syndrome, tourniquet-induced hemodynamic changes, and cerebral hypoperfusion in the beach-chair position. Special considerations for vulnerable populations, including frail elderly and anticoagulated patients, are discussed to balance bleeding and thrombotic risks. Maintaining mean arterial pressure within 10– 20% of baseline through tailored anesthesia, goal-directed fluid therapy, and continuous monitoring is associated with improved outcomes. A multidisciplinary, risk-stratified approach is recommended to reduce perioperative morbidity and improve postoperative outcomes. Future research should validate personalized blood pressure targets and explore the role of advanced hemodynamic monitoring in enhancing patient safety.Keywords: perioperative blood pressure, cardiovascular risk, orthopedic surgery, high-risk patients, hemodynamic monitoring, patient safety
