This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
During heart surgery, patients can experience dangerous drops in blood pressure that may harm recovery. This trial tests whether the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI)—a monitoring tool that predicts when blood pressure will drop—can help surgeons prevent these events and reduce complications after surgery. Half the patients will have access to the HPI predictions during surgery, while the other half will receive standard monitoring without those predictions.
Low blood pressure during surgery can lead to serious problems after the operation. The HPI tool has been shown to help in other types of surgery, but doctors don't yet know if it truly improves outcomes for heart surgery patients.

If you join this trial, you will receive your planned heart surgery at Mackay Memorial Hospital. During surgery, your blood pressure and other vital signs will be monitored using a standard arterial line (a thin tube in an artery). Half of the participants will have a monitoring system that displays predictions of low blood pressure to help the surgical team prevent it; the other half will receive regular monitoring without those predictions. The main comparison is how much time you spend with dangerously low blood pressure during the operation.
