Prediction of blood pressure changes associated with abdominal pressure changes during robotic laparoscopic low abdominal surgery using deep learning

Abstract

Background Intraoperative hypertension and blood pressure (BP) fluctuation are known to be associated with negative patient outcomes. During robotic lower abdominal surgery, the patient’s abdominal cavity is filled with CO2, and the patient’s head is steeply positioned toward the floor (Trendelenburg position). Pneumoperitoneum and the Trendelenburg position together with physiological alterations during anesthesia, interfere with predicting BP changes. Recently, deep learning using recurrent neural networks (RNN) was shown to be effective in predicting intraoperative BP. A model for predicting BP rise was designed using RNN under special scenarios during robotic laparoscopic surgery and its accuracy was tested. Methods Databases that included adult patients (over 19 years old) undergoing low abdominal da Vinci robotic surgery (ovarian cystectomy, hysterectomy, myomectomy, prostatectomy, and salpingo-oophorectomy) at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital from October 2018 to March 2021 were used. An RNN-based model was designed using Python3 language with the PyTorch packages. The model was trained to predict whether hypertension (20% increase in the mean BP from baseline) would develop within 10 minutes after pneumoperitoneum. Results Eight distinct datasets were generated and the predictive power was compared. The macro-average F1 scores of the datasets ranged from 68.18% to 72.33%. It took only 3.472 milliseconds to obtain 39 prediction outputs. Conclusions A prediction model using the RNN may predict BP rises during robotic laparoscopic surgery.

Hypertension Monitoring by a Real Time Management System for Patients in Community and Its Data Mining by Vector Autoregressive Model

“…Zhang et al use Neural network model to predict hypertension with AUC value of 0.77 [55]. Yang-Hoon Chung et al made a prediction of blood pressure with deep learning, and the macro-average F1 scores of the datasets ranged from 0.68 to 0.72 [56]. VOLUME 11, 2023 These studies applied machine learning to classify patients who could develop cardiovascular disease, ignoring timely manner of blood pressure [51], [57].…”

Estimation of Physiologic Pressures: Invasive and Non-Invasive Techniques, AI Models, and Future Perspectives

“…As Conor Hardacre et al [ 104 ] highlight in their review, the limitations and risks of RHC, along with advances in AI, form the motivation for newer and noninvasive diagnostic methods, but there are still circumstances where RHC is valuable, such as the assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance. There have also been AI models constructed for measuring other compartmental pressures, including ICP and IAP [ 106 , 107 , 108 ].…”
