Hypotension Prediction Index for Prevention of Hypotension and Postoperative Complications During Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer: A Multi-Center Randomized Trial

Using the Hypotension Prediction Index in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery, including data from National Taiwan University Hospital and Taipei Veterans General Hospital

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Intraoperative hypotension is a common occurrence during laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, often attributable to factors such as general anesthesia, the growing population of elderly patients, and the use of pneumoperitoneum during surgery. This condition, defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 65 mmHg, is linked to major organ complications within 30 days postoperatively. Introduced in 2019, the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) is an algorithm designed to predict the onset of intraoperative hypotension. Previous studies have used the time-weighted average MAP below 65 mmHg as a primary endpoint, calculated as the area under the MAP curve <65 mmHg (mmHg × hours) divided by the duration of surgery (hours), with a value ≥0 indicating severity. Higher values reflect more severe hypotension. However, research on the application of HPI in laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection remains limited. This study aims to determine whether the use of HPI can reduce the severity of intraoperative hypotension in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection and whether it can decrease the incidence of major postoperative organ complications. A total of 120 patients, aged 20-80 years and undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, will be randomly assigned to two groups: an intervention group guided by HPI and a control group without HPI guidance. In the intervention group, an alert will be triggered when the HPI exceeds 85, indicating a potential MAP drop below 65 mmHg, whereas the control group will initiate hypotension treatment only when MAP falls below 65 mmHg. Both groups will adhere to the same intraoperative hypotension management protocols, including fluid resuscitation, vasopressor administration, and observation. The primary treatment outcome will be the time-weighted average MAP <65 mmHg, and major postoperative organ complications will be monitored for 30 days post-surgery.
