Why the study?
Intraoperative hypotension worsens postoperative outcomes, making haemodynamic stability essential during TAVI in elderly and vulnerable patients, but the benefit of advanced versus standard haemodynamic monitoring was unclear.
Does advanced haemodynamic monitoring with Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) reduce intraoperative hypotension in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI?
Population
Fifty patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI under standard anaesthetic care
Comparison
Advanced haemodynamic monitoring with HPI values available vs covered HemoSphere monitor
Design
Prospective randomized pilot study
Key result
Advanced haemodynamic monitoring with HPI during TAVI showed no detectable difference in the time-weighted average of intraoperative hypotension (TWA65) compared to standard monitoring.

HPI monitoring does not reduce TWA65 during TAVI; challenges assumptions of benefit from predictive haemodynamic tools.

Does advanced haemodynamic monitoring with Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) reduce intraoperative hypotension in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI?
The use of the Hypotension Prediction Index during TAVI reduces the overall duration of intraoperative hypotension, potentially improving haemodynamic stability in vulnerable patients.
Bergmann et al. (2025) conducted an RCT in Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVI) (n=50). Advanced haemodynamic monitoring with Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) vs. Standard monitoring (HemoSphere monitor covered) was evaluated on Time-weighted average of intraoperative hypotension (TWA65). Advanced haemodynamic monitoring with HPI during TAVI showed no detectable difference in the time-weighted average of intraoperative hypotension (TWA65) compared to standard monitoring.
