Predicting low blood pressure during surgery in older adults
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have been assessed as frail (score of 2 or more).
- You have a higher-than-normal surgical risk (ASA class 2 or higher).
- You are scheduled for major abdominal surgery (laparoscopic or open) that will last more than 3 hours.
- You will have general anesthesia and an arterial line (a thin tube in your artery to monitor blood pressure) during surgery.

This study tests a new tool that warns doctors when your blood pressure might drop during lung surgery. If it works well, it could help prevent complications and keep you safer during the operation.
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.
This study tests whether an AI tool can help doctors better manage low blood pressure during planned surgeries. If you are having an elective surgery with general anesthesia and need an arterial line for monitoring, this trial may be for you.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to predict drops in blood pressure during major hip, knee, pelvis, or spine surgery. The goal is to help doctors prevent low blood pressure, which can lead to complications.
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 if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
