What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to evaluate the Cerebral Adaptive Index for determining personalized blood pressure targets in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. It involves the use of the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform equipped with Acumen IQ sensors and Tissue Oximetry Monitoring to gather data. The study is observational and focuses on high-risk patients to improve blood pressure management during surgery. By analyzing individual responses, the study seeks to tailor blood pressure targets to enhance patient outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients aged 45 and older who are scheduled for cardiac surgery and have a high risk for cerebral vascular disease.

Not a fit: Patients who are non-English speaking, pregnant, or undergoing surgery for congenital heart defects may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more effective blood pressure management during cardiac surgeries, potentially reducing complications.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies focusing on personalized monitoring in surgical settings have shown promise, suggesting potential for success.
