Summary
This study tested a smart alert system that warns doctors when a patient's blood pressure might drop dangerously during surgery. The goal was to help doctors act quickly to prevent kidney injury. The trial included 296 adults having major noncardiac surgery. The system uses software and a special sensor to track blood pressure trends in real time.
