Abstract
BACKGROUND: Predicting hypotension well in advance provides physicians with enough time to respond with proper therapeutic measures. However, the real-time prediction of hypotension with high positive predictive value (PPV) is a challenge. This is due to the dynamic changes in patients' physiological status following drug administration, which limits the quantity of useful data available for the algorithm.
