Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) Study: This study is testing a new tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI). HPI helps doctors predict low blood pressure (hypotension) during lung surgery with one-lung ventilation. This is important because low blood pressure can cause complications during surgery.
The study will include 60 adult patients having lung surgery. They will be monitored using a special machine called the HemoSphere monitor that tracks blood pressure and predicts hypotension events before they happen. Doctors won't see the results during surgery, but the data will help improve future care.
- Study Length: Monitoring occurs during surgery, which lasts more than 2 hours.
- Eligibility: Adults over 18, planned lung surgery, no emergency cases, and no serious heart issues.
- Compensation: No specific compensation mentioned, but participation helps advance medical research.
By joining, you contribute to advancing medical tools that could make surgeries safer. If you have any serious heart conditions or need emergency surgery, this study isn't suitable for you.
