Summary

This study will test whether a device called the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) can help doctors keep blood pressure stable during oral cancer surgery. About 100 adults having oral cancer surgery with flap reconstruction will take part. Half of the surgeries will use the HPI device to guide care, while the other half will not. The goal is to see if using the device reduces the severity and duration of low blood pressure and leads to fewer major complications after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software used with a standard monitor
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce serious complications after oral cancer surgery by better managing blood pressure during the operation.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study that hasn't started recruiting yet. The device may not meaningfully improve outcomes, and results may not apply to other types of surgery.
