Effectiveness of hypotension prediction index software in reducing intraoperative hypotension in prolonged prone-position spine surgery: a single-center clinical trial

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

HPI-guided management did not significantly reduce the TWA of IOH compared to standard care in patients undergoing prone-position spine surgery.
