Randomized Trial of Alerts in Patients Demonstrating a "Triple Low"

Completed

Conditions studied: Low Bispectral Index, Low Mean Arterial Blood Pressure, Low End-tidal Anesthetic Concentration

In brief

The investigators propose to test the theory that smart alarms for the Triple Low State incorporated into a decision support system built into an electronic anesthesia record will prompt clinicians to intervene earlier in situations that would otherwise provoke little concern, and that the alert system will reduce 90-day mortality. Specifically, the investigators will test the hypothesis that providing Triple Low alerts reduces 90-day mortality.
