TECTONICS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Anesthesia Control Tower monitoringExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Clinicians in the Anesthesiology Control Tower will provide extra support for the anesthesiology team in the operating room using AlertWatch and integrating machine-learning forecasting algorithms for adverse outcomes.
Group II: Standard of care armActive Control1 Intervention
Operating rooms in the standard of care group will be monitored but, the ACT clinicians will not contact the operating room unless it is clinically necessary for patient safety purposes.
