Effectiveness of Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) in Preventing Hypotension in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypotension, Postoperative Complications

In brief

Postoperative hypotension in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) is common and linked to adverse outcomes. The Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) predicts hypotensive events intraoperatively, but its PACU application is unexplored. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of HPI-guided monitoring in preventing PACU hypotension.
