Why the study?
Intraoperative hypotension is common under general anesthesia and can cause serious complications, prompting comparison of perioperative hypotension frequency using different hemodynamic monitoring technologies.
Does the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) algorithm reduce perioperative hypotension in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery compared to arterial pressure-based cardiac output technology?

Should not yet change monitoring practice; leaves open whether less IH with HPI improves organ outcomes in trials.
Does the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) algorithm reduce perioperative hypotension in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery compared to arterial pressure-based cardiac output technology?
The Hypotension Prediction Index algorithm significantly decreases the frequency and duration of perioperative hypotension events in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery compared to arterial waveform analysis alone.
