Predicting drops in cardiac output during general anesthesia using breathing-monitor data

Official title: Development of an Artificial Intelligence Model for Predicting Intraoperative Changes in Cardiac Output Using Capnography During General Anesthesia

Run by Samsung Medical Center · NCT07061548 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This will test whether an AI algorithm can use capnography (breathing monitor) data to predict significant drops in cardiac output in adults having elective surgery with general anesthesia.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (roughly 18–75 years) having elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation who are monitored with continuous capnography and invasive arterial pressure for at least 30 minutes are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients having emergency operations, cardiac or thoracic surgery, those with moderate-or-worse preexisting pulmonary disease (asthma/COPD) or procedures shorter than 30 minutes are not eligible and are unlikely to benefit from this capnography-based algorithm.

What this trial studies

This is an observational, single-center project enrolling adults undergoing elective surgery with endotracheal general anesthesia who have continuous capnography and invasive arterial waveform monitoring. Investigators train an AI model on 5-minute segments of capnography data labeled by whether cardiac output fell by 20% or more during that period. The resulting algorithm would generate alarms for predicted decreases in cardiac output without adding invasive devices. Patients with emergency, cardiac/thoracic surgery or moderate-or-worse preexisting lung disease are excluded, and only cases with at least 30 minutes of intraoperative monitoring are included.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the algorithm could provide a noninvasive early warning of falling cardiac output during anesthesia, potentially allowing timelier interventions and reducing need for invasive monitoring.

How similar studies have gone: Some prior research has explored using capnography waveform features to infer hemodynamic changes, but using AI to predict intraoperative cardiac output drops from capnography is relatively novel with limited clinical validation so far.
