About this study

Official title: The Use of the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) Combined With the Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) Software for Perioperative Hemodynamic Optimization in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia.

This study investigates if the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) combined with the Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) software can improve perioperative hemodynamic management in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia. The main question is :

Does the HPI and AFM software reduce the incidence and duration of intraoperative hypotension? Does the HPI and AFM software optimize fluid and vasopressor administration? Does the HPI and AFM software improve perioperative outcomes? Participants will be randomly allocated to either an experimental group receiving goal directed hemodynamic therapy guided by HPI and AFM or a control group receiving conventional hemodynamic management.

Read the detailed description

Intraoperative hypotension is a common complication during general anesthesia and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative organ dysfunction (acute kidney injury, myocardial ischemia). Even short episodes of mean arterial pressure (MAP) below accepted thresholds have been shown to adversely affect patient outcomes.

The Hypotension Prediction Index , (HPI)is a software that predicts the likelihood of hypotension minutes before it occurs, based on the arterial waveform. Thus clinicians have the opportunity to identify patients at risk of hypotension and intervene early.

The Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) software is designed to optimize perioperative fluid administration based on the Frank-Starling curve. The AFM provides guidance on crystalloid admininistration only when it is expected to increase stroke volume and cardiac output.

This prospective , randomized study evaluates whether the use of HPI coupled with AFM within a goal directed hemodynamic protocol improves perioperative hemodynamic management and reduces the incidence and duration of adult patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.

A total of 100 adult patients will be enrolled , for elective surgery with invasive blood pressure monitoring and intraoperative mean arterial pressure target of at least 65 mm Hg.

Patients in the intervention group will undergo goal directed hemodynamic management guided by HPI and AFM algorithms via the Hemosphere monitor and Acumen IQ sensor. The AFM software will determine the timing of fluid administration. Elevated HPI values indicating impending hypotension will be managed in a targeted manner with fluids, vasopressors or inotropes.

Patients in the control group will receive conventional hemodynamic management , based on clinical judgement, in accordance with international guidelines. Although an Acumen IQ sensor will be placed, HPI and AFM indications will not be visible to the attending anesthesiologist and will not influence clinical decision making.

Intraoperative hemodynamic data will be continuously recorded in both groups. A member of the research team will be present to supervise the procedure. The primary outcome is the time-weighted average of hypotension, defined as MAP below 65 mm Hg for at least one minute. Secondary outcomes include the incidence and duration of hypotension, type and dose of administered therapies and protocol adherence.

What participants receive

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

  • Acumen IQ sensor with Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) and Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) softwareDevice

    The Acumen IQ sensor will be used with the Hemosphere monitor to guide goal-directed hemodynamic therapy. HPI predicts impending hypotension and AFM guides fluid administration. Clinicians will follow a protocol algorithm to prevent or treat intraoperative hypotension with fluids, vasopressors or inotropes.

  • Conventional Intraoperative Hemodynamic managementOther

    Participants receive hemodynamic management based on the anesthesiologist's clinical judgement. The Acumen IQ sensor will be placed , but HPI and AFM outputs are not visible to the clinician.

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

Contact Georgia Ntalamagka, MD (+306978210163, geo.dalamaga@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time-weighted average of intraoperative hypotension (time frame: Intraoperatively, starting 10 minutes after anesthesia induction or start of sedation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07301307, which also lists 22 linked publications.

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 20 Apr 2026.
