New device aims to prevent dangerous blood pressure drops during surgery

NCT ID NCT07554599

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a non-invasive device called the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) in 60 elderly patients (ages 65-90) undergoing shoulder surgery in a beach chair position. The device predicts when blood pressure might drop dangerously low, allowing doctors to intervene early. The goal is to reduce brain oxygen drops and complications like stroke or kidney injury.

Active substance

non-invasive Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) device

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could help doctors prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during surgery, reducing the risk of brain injury and other complications in elderly patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device may not reliably predict hypotension or improve outcomes.
