Objective To identify the incidence of postintubation hypotension (PIH) in critically ill patients and evaluate the responsive risk factors and prognosis. Methods The data of intubation patients with normal blood pressure before intubation were collected and analyzed in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the latest two years and divided into two groups. One contained PIH patients and the other one contained patients with no change in blood pressure after intubation. The primary outcome measure was 28-day mortality and secondary outcome measure was length of stay (LOS) in ICU and hospital. Results There were 25(31.65%) PIH patients in included 79 patients. The patients in PIH group had significantly higher 28-day mortality (40.00% vs 14.81%, P=0.01) and there were no difference in LOS in ICU and hospital. Risk factors were age (OR:1.1, 95% CI:1.00-1.12), chronic respiratory diseases (OR:3.0, 95% CI:1.13-8.07) and complication with over two chronic diseases (OR:3.6, 95% CI:1.18-11.03). Conclusion PIH is more common in old patients complicated with chronic diseases and results in higher 28-day mortality.
