Defining Postinduction Hemodynamic Instability With an Automated Classification Model

Anesth AnalgPublished Prospective study

Authors' conclusion

Based on the high sensitivity and specificity, the developed model is able to differentiate between clinically relevant hemodynamic instability and hemodynamic stable patients.

Study context

Population
Adult elective noncardiac surgery patients, noninvasive BP measured from 5 min before to 15 min after first induction agent
Participants
375 patients
Exposure
