Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension (IOH), defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 65 mmHg, is a common complication during surgery and is associated with significant postoperative morbidity, including acute kidney injury, myocardial injury, stroke, and increased mortality. Despite the availability of traditional monitoring techniques, predicting and preventing IOH remains a challenge. The Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI), a machine-learning algorithm developed by Edwards Lifesciences, aims to predict IOH by analyzing real-time arterial waveform data, offering an opportunity for proactive management.
