Abstract Low blood pressure during surgery is associated with an increased incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), cardiovascular complications, and mortality, yet it is commonly underrecognized prior to its onset. The Hypotension Prediction Algorithm (HPA) is a novel monitoring technology designed to predict impending hypotension, allowing clinicians to intervene earlier. This project reviewed existing literature and surveyed anesthesia providers at a community hospital to identify factors limiting HPA utilization. Key barriers included limited equipment availability and workflow constraints, which informed targeted education and process improvements aimed at promoting safer, more proactive intraoperative blood pressure management.
