Use of the Hypotension Prediction Index During Cardiac Surgery.
The hypotension prediction index (HPI) is a novel parameter developed by Edwards Lifesciences (Irvine, CA) that is obtained through an algorithm based on arterial pressure waveform characteristics. Past studies have demonstrated its accuracy in predicting hypotensive events in noncardiac surgeries. The authors aimed to evaluate the use of the HPI in cardiac surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). ⋯ HPI predicted hypotensive episodes during cardiac surgeries with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.
