BP Assist: Clinical Decision Support to Help Reduce Anaesthetists Prevent Low Blood Pressure Complications During Major Surgery

手术期间出现低血压是很常见的。当手术期间出现低血压时，重要器官的血液供应减少，可能导致损伤，造成长期并发症、残疾和死亡。人们越来越普遍地认为，即使是手术中短暂的低血压也会造成伤害，许多发表的研究手术中低血压的论文都证实了这一点。目前可用的技术被认为不能提供适当的信息，或者足够准确的信息来让麻醉师清楚地了解病人的情况。我们的项目将开发一种创新的数字健康技术产品，帮助麻醉师在手术室高风险手术期间做出患者护理决策。我们的项目重点是通过让麻醉师更好地了解情况，使他们能够更好、更快地做出决定，从而降低低血压事件的发生率。我们将生产一种有助于减少并发症、改善患者预后和缩短住院时间的产品。该项目将交付一种已经过临床测试、带有CE标志的产品，并准备在NHS市场上销售。

Periods of low blood pressure during surgery are common. When low blood pressure is experienced during surgery, blood supply to vital organs is reduced and can result in damage, causing long-term complications, disability and mortality. It is becoming widely accepted that even short periods of low blood pressure during surgery can be damaging and many published papers where low pressure during surgery have been studied, confirm that this is the case. Current technologies available are not seen as providing the appropriate information, or accurate enough information to give the anaesthetist a clear picture of how their patient is doing.Our project will develop an innovative digital health technology product that will assist anaesthetists in making decisions about patient care in the operating theatre during high risk surgery. Our project is focused on reducing the incidence of low blood pressure events by keeping anaesthetists better informed, enabling them to make better, faster decisions. We will produce a product that helps reduce complications, improves patient outcomes and reduces length of stay. The project will deliver a product that has been clinically tested, CE Marked and is ready to sell into the NHS market.
