Oscillometric Versus Intraarterial Blood Pressure Monitoring During Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy

Oscillometric Versus Intraarterial Blood Pressure Monitoring to Reduce Intraoperative Hypotension During Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy: A Non-Inferiority Randomized Trial

The PROST-BP trial is a prospective, single-center, randomized, patient-blinded, non-inferiority trial investigating whether intermittent oscillometric blood pressure monitoring is non-inferior to continuous intraarterial blood pressure monitoring in reducing intraoperative hypotension in patients having robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• male patient ≥18 years
• scheduled for elective robot-assisted (Da Vinci) radical prostatectomy in steep Trendelenburg position
• planned intraarterial blood pressure monitoring

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients in whom the attending anesthesiologist considers intraarterial blood pressure monitoring to be mandatory for clinical reasons
• patients participating in another interventional trial likely to influence intraoperative blood pressure management
