Using a Hypotension Prediction Index to Prevent Low Blood Pressure During Dialysis in ICU Patients

The HPI, developed by Edwards Lifesciences and integrated into the HemosphereⓇ hemodynamic monitoring system, is an algorithm-based tool that predicts hypotensive events before they occur, allowing earlier intervention. While this tool has shown benefit in surgical and post-operative settings, it has not been tested in ICU patients undergoing dialysis.
