What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of the hypotension prediction index (HPI) in preventing low blood pressure during cardiac surgery. It involves a randomized, single-blind design where adult patients scheduled for elective primary cardiac surgery will be assigned to either HPI-guided or standard hemodynamic management. The primary focus is on measuring the average time patients experience hypotension during surgery, while secondary outcomes include monitoring postoperative complications. The study aims to confirm the clinical benefits of HPI in a cardiac surgery setting.
