About this study

Official title: The Clinical Effects of Perioperative Use of the Hypotension Prediction Index

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if the use of the hypotension prediction index during the perioperative period leads to a decrease in hypotension both during and after surgery (24 hrs) in adults undergoing major abdominal surgery. The main question this trial aims to answer is:

  • Does the use of the hypertension prediction index (HPI) decrease hypotension during surgery and in the post-operative period?

During and after their surgery, participants in the intervention group will be treated according to the HPI-algorithm.

Participants in the control group will be treated following the standard of care.

Read the detailed description

Rationale: Hypotension during and after surgery is associated with serious complications. Using a machine learning algorithm, hypotension can be accurately predicted. Edwards Lifesciences developed this algorithm, called "Hypotension Prediction Index" and integrated this in their hemodynamical monitors. Recent studies have shown a decrease in intraoperative hypotension when using the hypotension prediction index.

Objective: To investigate if the use of the hypotension prediction index during the perioperative period leads to a decrease in hypotension (time weighted average) both during and after surgery (24 hrs).

Intervention: Patients in the intervention group will be treated using the hypotension prediction index algorithm to prevent hypotension. In case of actual hypotension the treatment thereof is at the discretion of the anaesthesiologist.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The decrease in time weighted average of hypotension in the peri- and post-operative period.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HPI (using HemoSphere) - guided algorithmDevice

    Treatment of hypotension guided by the hypotension prediction index. Patients will receive treatment following the predetermined HPI-algorithm when the HPI exceeds 85%.

  • Treatment of hypotension following standard of careDevice

    Patients receive standard of care treatment for hypotension, with a goal-mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65mmHg.

Study groups in NCT05844774
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HPI-intervention algorithmExperimentalIn the intervention group the HemoSphere screen is visible and the anesthesiologist and PACU personal are instructed to follow the algorithm (chapter 4) in case of a HPI >85%. The purpose of the alarm at 85% and the presented algorithm is to prevent hypotension. If hypotension occurs, it should be treated as according to the standard of care.
Receives: Device: HPI (using HemoSphere) - guided algorithm
Control groupOtherPatients in the control group are connected to the HemoSphere monitor to evaluate the TWA of hypotension in this group. The screen is not visible to the anesthesiologist or PACU personal and the alarm is set silent. It will be explained to the anesthesiologist and PACU personal that the patients are included to this study and that a blood pressure with a MAP of 65 mmHg should be monitored.
Receives: Device: Treatment of hypotension following standard of care

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time Weighted Average of hypotension

    Time Weighted Average (TWA) is measured as (depth of hypotension in mmHg below a MAP op 65mmHg x time in minutes spent below a MAP of 65mmHg) ÷ total duration of surgery/PACU admission in minutes)

    Measured: During the accumulative duration of surgery and PACU admission

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Frequency and duration of hypotension

    Defined as MAP<65mmHg for at least 1 minute

    Measured: During surgery and in the 24 hours following surgery

  2. Frequency and duration of hypertension

    Defined as MAP>100mmHg for at least 1 minute

    Measured: During surgery and in the 24 hours following surgery

  3. Total amount of administered fluids

    Total amount of administered fluids (absolute, ml/kg/min, input/output ratio)

    Measured: During surgery and in the 24 hours following surgery

  4. Total administration of vasopressors

    Total administration of vasopressors (mcg/kg/min)

    Measured: During surgery and in the 24 hours following surgery

  5. Total administration of inotropy

    Total administration of inotropy (mcg/kg/min)

    Measured: During surgery and in the 24 hours following surgery

  6. Eligibility for discharge to the ward on the day after surgery

    Eligibility defined as yes or no

    Measured: During morning rounds the day after surgery (approximately at 10.00hours)

  7. Lactate

    Lactate level as measured in arterial blood gas

    Measured: "at the start of surgery", "at PACU admission", "day after surgery at 06.00hours"

  8. Glomerular filtration rate

    Glomerular filtration rate as measured in arterial blood gas

    Measured: "at the start of surgery", "at PACU admission", "day after surgery at 06.00hours"

  9. Number and type of complications in the first 30 days after surgery

    Number and type of complications in the first 30 days after surgery

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HPI (using HemoSphere) - guided algorithm in people with Hypotension During Surgery, run by Radboud University Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Van Eijk (0624501517, lucas.vaneijk@radboudumc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time Weighted Average of hypotension (time frame: During the accumulative duration of surgery and PACU admission). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 May 2023.
