Perioper Med (Lond)Published Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

HPI guidance appears to be effective in preventing intraoperative hypotension during general anesthesia.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

TWA MAP < 65 mmHg

Intervention

0.02

median · interval 0.003–0.08

Control

0.37

median · interval 0.20–0.58

P < 0.001

Secondary outcomes

Median MAP during surgery · significantly higher with intervention

P < 0.001

Time-weighted average (TWA) mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 60 mmHg and < 55 mmHg

Findings similar to primary outcome
