Overview
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.
Eligibility
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
