Identification of intraoperative hypotension endotypes and revolution with a temporal deep learning algorithm

Perioper Med (Lond)Published Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Five endotypes of IOH were identified

Study context

Population
Surgical patients with continuous intraoperative monitoring of systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), stroke volume index (SVI), stroke volume variation (SVV), CI and HR who had at least one episode of intraoperative hypotension (IOH) (mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg for at least 1 min)
Participants
184 patients · 1,304 hypotensive episodes
Outcome
Distinct hemodynamic endotypes of IOH
Methodological detailsdeep learning (long short-term memory (LSTM)-based autoencoder), unsupervised k-means clustering
  • Deep learning (LSTM-based autoencoder)
  • Unsupervised k-means clustering

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

IOH endotypes
Five distinct IOH endotypes identified by k-means
5

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Timing of endotypes within the procedure

Mild vasodilation with preserved CI mainly in the first and second quartiles of the procedure
Bradycardia throughout the procedure, more frequently in the fourth quartile
Myocardial depression primarily in the second quartile
Hypovolemia frequently throughout the procedure

Intra-event transitions between endotypes within the same hypotensive episode

Transitions between endotypes within the same episode (events)
