Can AI predict dangerous blood pressure drops during lung surgery?
NCT ID NCT06202638
First seen Sep 16, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are studying whether a machine-learning monitor can predict low blood pressure episodes in patients having lung surgery with one-lung ventilation. The study enrolls about 77 adults scheduled for lobectomy or pneumonectomy. During surgery, the team records standard blood pressure data alongside readings from the HemoSphere monitor with Hypotension Prediction Index software, then checks how well the software's alerts match actual drops in blood pressure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HemoSphere monitor with Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index software
- What this could lead to
- If the software predicts low blood pressure accurately in lung surgery, anesthesiologists could intervene earlier and reduce complications tied to drops in blood pressure during these operations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study in one type of surgery, so the software may perform differently in other patients or settings. It does not test whether acting on the alerts actually prevents complications.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
60 consecutive adult patients qualified for open-chest lung resection procedures under general anesthesia and one-lung ventilation will be monitored during the operation using standard invasive hemodynamic monitoring with arterial pressure transducer and concomitantly with HemoSphere monitor with the HPI software attached to the Acumen IQ transducer (Edwards LifeSciences, Irvine, CA, USA).
