Smart blood pressure monitoring may shield kidneys during robotic surgery
NCT ID NCT06051162
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a software tool called the hypotension prediction index (HPI) can help prevent acute kidney injury after robotic-assisted urologic surgery. The tool uses arterial pressure data to forecast drops in blood pressure during the operation, allowing doctors to intervene earlier. Researchers will compare patients whose blood pressure is managed with HPI guidance against those receiving standard care. The goal is to see if HPI reduces the duration and severity of low blood pressure, which is linked to kidney damage.
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 guidance for blood pressure management during surgery
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could reduce kidney damage after robotic urologic surgery, improving recovery and lowering the risk of long-term kidney problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 124 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The system's benefit over standard care is not yet proven, and technical issues or individual patient factors could limit its effectiveness.
