Do higher alarm thresholds for arterial blood pressure lead to less perioperative hypotension? A retrospective, observational cohort study
Arterial blood pressure is one of the vital signs monitored mandatory in anaesthetised patients. Even short episodes of intraoperative hypotension are associated with increased risk for postoperative organ dysfunction such as acute kidney injury and myocardial injury. Since there is little evidence...

description | Arterial blood pressure is one of the vital signs monitored mandatory in anaesthetised patients. Even short episodes of intraoperative hypotension are associated with increased risk for postoperative organ dysfunction such as acute kidney injury and myocardial injury. Since there is little evidence whether higher alarm thresholds in patient monitors can help prevent intraoperative hypotension, we analysed the blood pressure data before (group 1) and after (group 2) the implementation of altered hypotension alarm settings. The study was conducted as a retrospective observational cohort study in a large surgical centre with 32 operating theatres. Alarm thresholds for hypotension alarm for mean arterial pressure (MAP) were altered from 60 (before) to 65 mmHg for invasive measurement and 70 mmHg for noninvasive measurement. Blood pressure data from electronic anaesthesia records of 4222 patients (1982 and 2240 in group 1 and 2, respectively) with 406,623 blood pressure values undergoing noncardiac surgery were included. We analysed (A) the proportion of blood pressure measurements below the threshold among all measurements by quasi-binomial regression and (B) whether at least one blood pressure measurement below the threshold occurred by logistic regression. Hypotension was defined as MAP < 65 mmHg. There was no significant difference in overall proportions of hypotensive episodes for mean arterial pressure before and after the adjustment of alarm settings (mean proportion of values below 65 mmHg were 6.05% in group 1 and 5.99% in group 2). The risk of ever experiencing a hypotensive episode during anaesthesia was significantly lower in group 2 with an odds ratio of 0.84 (p = 0.029). In conclusion, higher alarm thresholds do not generally lead to less hypotensive episodes perioperatively. There was a slight but significant reduction of the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension in the presence of higher thresholds for blood pressure alarms. However, this reduction only seems to be present in patients with very few hypotensive episodes. |
