Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) in Lung Resections

Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) Study

This study tests a new tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) that checks for low blood pressure (hypotension) during lung surgeries. The HPI uses computers to watch blood pressure waves to tell doctors if low blood pressure might happen soon. This helps in making sure patients are safe during surgery. We are testing HPI on 60 adults having lung surgery with one lung working at a time. The study is observational, meaning doctors just watch and record data without changing treatments. Patients need to be 18 or older and have certain health conditions. We will measure how well HPI works by comparing it to other monitoring tools. Doctors won't see the HPI results during surgery to test its accuracy.

• Study Length: Monitoring happens during surgery.
• Eligibility: Adults 18+, certain surgeries & health conditions.
• Risks: No direct treatment changes, just observation.
