Review Meta AnalysisBeyond the debut: unpacking six years of Hypotension Prediction Index software in intraoperative hypotension prevention - a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) during general anesthesia is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, although randomized trials have not established a causal relation. Historically, our approach to IOH has been reactive. The Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) is a machine learning software that predicts hypotension minutes in advance. This systematic review and meta-analysis explores whether using HPI alongside a personalized treatment protocol decreases intraoperative hypotension. ⋯ While the combination of HPI software with personalized treatment protocols may prevent intraoperative hypotension (IOH), the large heterogeneity among the studies and the lack of reliable data on its clinical significance necessitate further investigation.
