surgery: Recovery Time from Surgery

In louisaslett/durham-Rpkg: Durham University R Package

Description

It is sometimes necessary to lower a patient's blood pressure during surgery, using a hypotensive drug. Such drugs are administered continuously during the operation; since the duration of the operation varies from patient to patient, so does the dose received. Patients also vary in the extent to which the drugs succeed in lowering blood pressure. The sooner the pressure rises again to normal after the drug is discontinued, the better. The data relate to a particular drug and give the time taken for the patient's systolic blood pressure to return to 100mm of mercury, the logarithm (base 10) of the drug dose, and the average systolic blood pressure while the drug was being administered.
