Intra-operative Permissive Hypotension - How do you accomplish / prefer...?

...and then you have the Rick Dutton school who gives progressive boluses of
fentanyl or other opioids to completely block the sympathetic response.
 (maintaining baseline MAP with small fluid boluses).  He targets flow
rather than pressure and believes the massive adrenergic responses are
counter-productive.  (Not a shred of evidence to support/refute this as yet
of course)
