Hypotension Prediction Index for Blood Pressure Management — HPI  

Intraoperative Hypotension Clinical Trial

Official title: The Role of Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index Software in Hypotension Management During Moderate to High-Risk Noncardiac Surgery: A Pilot Randomized Control Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Design: Single-center randomized comparison of invasive arterial pressure monitoring vs. arterial pressure monitoring combined with Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software guidance on intraoperative hypotension duration and severity.

Aim: To determine whether use of Acumen HPI software guidance to guide intraoperative hemodynamic management in the non-cardiac surgery reduces the duration and severity of hypotension.

Primary hypothesis: Our primary hypothesis is that adding Acumen HPI software guidance to the information provided by the invasive arterial pressure monitoring during moderate- to high-risk noncardiac surgery reduces time-weighted average (TWA) intraoperative hypotension below a threshold of 65 mmHg.

Clinical Trial Description

STUDY RATIONALE Even when clinicians try to prevent intraoperative hypotension, they often fail because it is difficult to predict which patients will become hypotensive, much less when. A risk score for predicting minute-by-minute intraoperative hypotension is not currently available. Yet it seems likely that ability to identify when a patient is likely to become hypotensive, and the pathophysiology of the event, will improve hemodynamic management and perhaps patient outcome. Acumen HPI appears to be a reliable predictor of intraoperative hypotension, and should thus help clinicians anticipate and avoid hypotension. Furthermore, the secondary guidance provided by the Acumen HPI may help clinicians optimally manage fluids and thus prevent future episodes in the same patient.

AIMS To determine whether use of Acumen HPI software to guide intraoperative hemodynamic management in the non-cardiac surgery reduces the duration and severity of hypotension.

PRIMARY HYPOTHESIS Our primary hypothesis is that use of the Acumen HPI software guidance reduces TWA intraoperative hypotension below a threshold of 65 mmHg.

Specifically, we will compare the amount of intraoperative hypotension below mean-arterial pressure (MAP) threshold of 65 mmHg, in patients randomized to invasive arterial pressure monitoring vs. invasive arterial pressure monitoring with Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index software. In both cases, clinicians will strive to keep MAP above 65 mmHg to the extent practical. ;
