The introduction of continuous non-invasive blood pressure and advanced haemodynamic monitoring for colorectal surgery JF - Mesentery and Peritoneum; Vol 10 (April 30, 2026): Mesentery and Peritoneum (Abstracts for the Sylvester O'Halloran Perioperative Symposium 2026) Y2 - 2026 KW - N2 - Major elective colorectal surgeries are complex, high-risk, and lengthy procedures. Traditionally, invasive arterial blood pressure monitors are inserted for assessment of cardiovascular status, allowing for adjustment of fluids and medications to maintain haemodynamic stability. New technologies have been developed that can provide continuous non-invasive arterial blood pressure and advanced haemodynamic monitoring. These monitoring systems use predictive software to help identify and treat the cause of haemodynamic instability, therefore reducing intraoperative hypotension. The hypotension prediction index (HPI) provides a value ranging from 0 to 100. Higher HPI values indicate an increased likelihood of a hypotensive event. If the HPI parameter value exceeds 85 for two consecutive 20-second updates or reaches 100 at any time, a prompt will appear to review the patient. This software also contains an algorithm to assist in the identification and management of the cause of a hypotensive event. This study evaluated the introduction of non-invasive blood pressure and advanced haemodynamic monitoring in colorectal surgery. UR - https://map.amegroups.org/article/view/11237
