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

Effectiveness of Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) in Preventing Hypotension in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU): A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Sponsor

Wonkwang University Hospital

Enrollment

210 participants

Start Date

Jul 15, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Hypotension Postoperative Complications

Summary

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.

Eligibility

Min Age: 19 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a medical device called Hypotension Prediction Index Monitoring and Standard PACU Monitoring for people with hypotension and postoperative complications. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include aged 19 Years and older.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICEHypotension Prediction Index Monitoring

HPI monitoring is performed using the Edwards Lifesciences HemoSphere platform to provide real-time hypotension prediction based on arterial pressure waveform analysis. Interventions such as fluid bolus or vasopressor are administered per protocol when HPI ≥ 85.

OTHERStandard PACU Monitoring

Standard monitoring in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), including non-invasive blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation measurements. No Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) monitoring is used. Interventions are performed according to routine institutional practices.
