Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) in Lung Resections

Resumo breve

Perioperative hypotension is a risk factor for perioperative complications. Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence have produced an algorithm that predicts the occurrence of hypotension episodes by analyzing an arterial pressure waveform. This technology has not been validated in thoracic surgical patients undergoing lung resections with the use of one-lung ventilation (OLV). We planned an observational, prospective multi-centre cohort validation study of the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) in patients undergoing lung resection procedures with the use of one-lung ventilation and a lung-protective strategy.
