About this trial

The study will enroll patients scheduled for PPGL removal surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Before surgery, researchers will use a 6-variable model to predict the patient's risk of experiencing severe blood pressure swings during the operation. During surgery, a real-time early warning tool will be tested for its ability to accurately predict blood pressure changes 60 seconds in advance. The study will also explore the value of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in understanding blood pressure fluctuations and evaluate the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI) agent for preoperative anesthesia assessment, comparing its accuracy, consistency, and efficiency against that of human anesthesiologists.

Participation involves no changes to the patient's standard surgical or medical care. It includes collecting clinical data, wearing a CGM sensor from the day before to the day after surgery, and having the preoperative assessment performed by both the AI agent and anesthesiologists.
