Preventing low blood pressure during heart surgery with HPI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new method (called HPI) to prevent dangerously low blood pressure during planned heart surgery. It is for adults having bypass surgery or valve surgery, but not for those with certain heart rhythm problems or needing emergency surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your surgery is scheduled in advance (not an emergency).
- You are having either bypass surgery (CABG) or a heart valve repair/replacement.
- You do not have an irregular heartbeat like atrial fibrillation or flutter.
- You do not have a hole (shunt) between the heart chambers.
- You are not on any heart-pumping medications or support devices before surgery.

This trial studies what happens when blood pressure drops during planned (elective) major upper gastrointestinal surgery and looks at related blood chemistry. Your care team may collect samples during the operation to understand why this happens and how to improve outcomes.
This study looks at how a system called HPI (a way to track your body's response during surgery) might help people recover better after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. It is for people having this planned surgery who do not have serious heart or lung problems.
This study is testing a new tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index to help predict and prevent dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. It may be especially helpful for older, frail patients having long abdominal surgeries.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This trial tests a tool that predicts drops in blood pressure during major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors manage blood pressure better during and after surgery.
This trial tests a new tool that helps doctors manage fluids and blood pressure during surgery. It uses a special index (HPI) and computer-assisted fluid management to keep your blood pressure stable, which may reduce complications.
