AI's unique hemodynamic insights - HPI in focus | TopMedTalk General
This piece focuses upon the Hypotension Predictive Index (HPI) technology. We look at the validation process of HPI, addressing criticisms and clarifying its predictive ability for hemodynamic instability. How important is it to understand the underlying causes of instability rather than solely relying on blood pressure readings? What is the role of HPI in early detection and proactive management? The discussion also touches on the limitations of traditional mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring and the need for a holistic approach to hemodynamic assessment.
