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

手术过程中低血压是常见的。当在手术过程中经历低血压时，重要器官的血液供应减少，可能导致损伤，引起长期并发症，残疾和死亡。人们越来越普遍地认为，即使是手术期间的短时间低血压也会造成损害，许多已发表的研究手术期间低血压的论文证实了这一点。目前可用的技术并不能提供适当的信息，或者足够准确的信息，让麻醉师清楚地了解他们的病人是如何做的。我们的项目将开发一种创新的数字健康技术产品，帮助麻醉师在高风险手术期间做出关于手术室病人护理的决定。我们的项目专注于通过让麻醉师更好地了解情况来减少低血压事件的发生率，使他们能够做出更好，更快的决定。我们将生产一种有助于减少并发症、改善患者预后并缩短住院时间的产品。该项目将提供一种经过临床测试，CE认证的产品，并准备在NHS市场销售。

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.
