Predicting Intraoperative Hypotension: An Intraoperative Case Report.

Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is a common issue associated with acute kidney injury, myocardial injury, stroke, and death. IOH may be avoided with the incorporation of newer advanced hemodynamic monitoring technologies. This case study examines the use of advanced hemodynamic monitoring with an early warning system for the intraoperative hemodynamic management of a patient presenting for pancreaticoduodenectomy. Incorporating the hypotension prediction index and other hemodynamic parameters to anticipate impending hypotension and treat potential causative factors is an emerging technological advancement. Understanding and embracing the potential for new advanced hemodynamic technology to reduce intraoperative hypotension's severity, duration, and occurrence is key to reducing negative patient outcomes.
