Abstract

Background

The efficacy of the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) for reducing Intraoperative Hypotension (IOH) among patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries remains unclear. We aimed to perform a systematic review, meta-analysis, and trial sequential analysis to determine whether the HPI is effective for adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries. This study was prospectively registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42024571931).

Methods

PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comparing HPI-guided therapy with standard care in non-cardiac surgeries. We computed Mean Difference (MD) and Risk Ratios (RR) for continuous and binary outcomes, respectively, with 95 % Confidence Intervals (95 % CI). Statistical analyses were performed using R Software, version 4.2.3.

Results

We included 11 RCTs, comprising a total of 789 patients, of whom 395 (50.1 %) received HPI-guided management. HPI significantly reduced the Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg (MD = -0.23 mmHg.min-1; 95 % CI -0.35 to -0.10; p < 0.01) and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of MAP < 65 mmHg (MD = -97.2 mmHg.min-1; 95 % CI -143.4 to -50.98; p < 0.01). HPI also decreased the duration of MAP < 65 mmHg (MD = -16.22 min; 95 % CI -25.87 to -6.57; p < 0.01) and the number of hypotensive episodes per patient (MD = -3.38; 95 % CI -5.38 to -1.37; p < 0.01). No significant differences were observed in the number of hypotensive events, phenylephrine use, or AKI incidence (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

In adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries, HPI use was associated with a reduction in the duration and severity of IOH, with no significant difference for adverse events. Limitations include significant heterogeneity across studies, differences in HPI implementation, and lack of long-term outcome data.

Resumo

Introdução

A eficácia do Índice de Predição de Hipotensão (HPI) para reduzir a hipotensão intraoperatória (IOH) em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias não cardíacas ainda não está clara. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática, meta-análise e análise sequencial de ensaios para determinar se o HPI é eficaz em pacientes adultos submetidos a cirurgias não cardíacas. Este estudo foi registrado prospectivamente no banco de dados PROSPERO (CRD42024571931).

Métodos

As bases PubMed, Embase e Cochrane foram pesquisadas sistematicamente para identificar ensaios clínicos randomizados (RCTs) comparando a terapia guiada por HPI com o cuidado padrão em cirurgias não cardíacas. Foram calculadas a Diferença Média (MD) e as Razões de Risco (RR) para desfechos contínuos e binários, respectivamente, com Intervalos de Confiança de 95% (IC 95%). As análises estatísticas foram realizadas no R Software, versão 4.2.3.

Resultados

Foram incluídos 11 RCTs, totalizando 789 pacientes, dos quais 395 (50,1%) receberam manejo guiado por HPI. O HPI reduziu significativamente a Média Ponderada pelo Tempo (TWA) da Pressão Arterial Média (PAM) < 65 mmHg (MD = -0,23 mmHg·min¹; IC 95% -0,35 a -0,10; p < 0,01) e a Área sob a Curva (AUC) da PAM < 65 mmHg (MD = -97,2 mmHg·min¹; IC 95% -143,4 a -50,98; p < 0,01). O HPI também diminuiu a duração da PAM < 65 mmHg (MD = -16,22 min; IC 95% -25,87 a -6,57; p < 0,01) e o número de episódios hipotensivos por paciente (MD = -3,38; IC 95% -5,38 a -1,37; p < 0,01). Não foram observadas diferenças significativas no número de eventos hipotensivos, uso de fenilefrina ou incidência de lesão renal aguda (LRA) (p > 0,05).

Conclusão

Em pacientes adultos submetidos a cirurgias não cardíacas, o uso do HPI esteve associado à redução da duração e da gravidade da IOH, sem diferenças significativas em eventos adversos. Limitações incluem heterogeneidade significativa entre os estudos, diferenças na implementação do HPI e ausência de dados sobre desfechos a longo prazo.
