Comparison of a mean arterial pressure alarm to the hypotension prediction index in preventing intraoperative hypotension in elective moderate- to high-risk non-cardiac surgical patients: a study protocol for a blinded, parallel, randomized controlled trial with a non-inferiority framework

Key Result

The study will compare a mean arterial pressure alarm to the hypotension prediction index for preventing intraoperative hypotension in non-cardiac surgery patients.

Key Points

• This study aims to compare two methods, a mean arterial pressure alarm and a hypotension prediction index, for preventing intraoperative hypotension in surgical patients.
• Blinded, parallel, randomized controlled trial design.
• Target population includes elective moderate- to high-risk non-cardiac surgical patients.
• Non-inferiority framework is employed to assess outcomes.
• Results will indicate whether one method is superior or equal in preventing hypotension.
• Quantitative data will be analyzed to determine efficacy and safety.
