Abstract
Introduction. Current standards of intraoperative monitoring significantly reduce the response time to a decrease in blood pressure, but do not include methods for predicting changes in hemodynamics to avoid the effects of systemic hypoperfusion.The objective was to evaluate the usefulness of determining the perfusion index for predicting the development of hypotension and its earlier correction during advanced oncothoracic operations.Materials and methods. A prospective open-label observational study was conducted, which included 100 patients who underwent elective oncothoracic surgery. Standard monitoring was established, as well as continuous monitoring of the perfusion index. The perfusion index value was recorded immediately before induction. The patients were divided into 2 groups: in the 1st group (n = 37), patients experienced a decrease in blood pressure, requiring vasopressor support; in the 2nd group (n = 63), no vasopressor support was required.Results. A moderate linear relationship was revealed with a correlation coefficient (r) equal to (–0.68), p < 0.001, and a strong non-linear relationship with a coefficient (ρ) equal to (–0.95), p < 0.001. To identify the relationship model, polynomial regression analysis was performed. A prognostic formula for the use of vasopressors was calculated depending on the preoperative level of perfusion index. At the next stage, a classification tree for analyzing the data array was used. The entire d data array (n = 100) is randomly divided into training (n = 70) and test samples (n = 30). It was revealed that hypotension requiring vasopressor support occurred in patients whose initial perfusion index was ≤ 2.85. ROC analysis determined an AUC of 0.952 (95% CI: 0.888–1.016).Conclusion. A low PI value before induction of anesthesia during advanced oncothoracic operations can be used to monitor the functional activity of the autonomic nervous system and predict intraoperative hypotension. Patients with a baseline PI ≤ 2.85 have a higher risk of developing hypotension during advanced oncothoracic surgery compared with those with a baseline PI ≥ 2.85. The effectiveness of the method in patients with concomitant pathologies has not been tested.
