Role of Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution in Pregnancy for Emergency Cesarean Section in a Patient With Bombay Blood Group

Authors: Chatterjee P et al Cureus 15(4): e37995. doi:10.7759/cureus.37995 Abstract Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, and various blood conservation strategies can be implemented to minimize blood loss. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a simple yet effective blood management tool in the armamentarium of an anesthesiologist, the use […]

Comparison of differences in cohort (forwards) and case control (backwards) methodological approaches for validation of the Hypotension Prediction Index

Authors: Simon J Davies, FRCA, MD et al  Anesthesiology April 2024. Background The Hypotension Prediction Index (the index) software is a machine learning algorithm that detects physiological changes that may lead to hypotension. The original validation used a case control (backwards) analysis that has been suggested to be biased. We therefore conducted a cohort (forwards) […]

The Hypotension Prediction Index is equally effective in predicting intraoperative hypotension during non-cardiac surgery compared to a mean arterial pressure threshold

Authors: Marijn P. Mulder, M.Sc. et al  Anesthesiology April 2024. Background The Hypotension Prediction Index is designed to timely predict intraoperative hypotension and is based on arterial waveform analysis using machine learning. It has recently been suggested that this algorithm is highly correlated with the mean arterial pressure (MAP) itself. Therefore, the aim of this […]
