While there may be quite a few, I'd have to ask you several questions first. Those are:

What type of surgery?

When you say hypotension, do you mean to the point of gangrene?

I could surely research or answer from my own knowledge base if I had more to go on. with that information.

The one drug that comes to mind would be dopamine. Dopamine's effect on circulation is twofold, depending on the dosage. Small dosages cause vasodilation (blood vessels expand- which could cause hypotension), medium dosage will increase cardiac output, while larger dosages will result in vasoconstriction. resulting in elevated blood pressure.

This is actually my first day here, so I don't know if you can provide that info for me.
