Blood pressure monitoring during robot prostate surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to measure blood pressure during robot-assisted prostate surgery: a cuff on the arm (oscillometric) vs. a tiny tube in an artery (intraarterial). It aims to see if the cuff method is just as reliable, which could make monitoring simpler and less invasive.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man age 18 or older
- You are scheduled for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (prostate removal) while lying steeply head-down (Trendelenburg position)
- Your surgery plan includes placing a small tube in an artery to watch your blood pressure
- Your anesthesiologist does not feel that the arterial line is medically required for your safety
- You are not taking part in another trial that could affect how your blood pressure is managed during surgery

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 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 trial is testing a computer program that helps doctors keep your blood pressure stable during surgery. It might improve safety and recovery by automatically adjusting anesthesia doses to keep your pressure in a healthy range.
This study tests whether a special computer tool (called the Hypotension Prediction Index) can help anesthesiologists keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during major abdominal surgery. By using this tool, doctors hope to reduce the risk of low blood pressure during surgery and improve safety for older frail adults.
This study compares two methods of measuring blood pressure during the start of anesthesia: one using a small tube in an artery (invasive) and one using a standard arm cuff (non-invasive). It aims to see how well they agree in high-risk patients, which may help doctors monitor blood pressure more accurately and safely.
This study tests a new device that measures blood pressure continuously without needing a needle in your artery. If you are having surgery and already need an arterial line, this device might offer a less invasive way to track your blood pressure during the procedure.
