About

Hemodynamic instability is frequent during surgery and intraoperative hypotension is associated with excess morbidity and excess mortality in high-risk patients. In major abdominal surgery the incidence of intraoperative hypotension remains high.

For the past few years, some teams have proposed evaluating norepinephrine as a first-line drug in the presence of hypotension or even before hypotension occurs Thus in obstetrics, the preventive use of norepinephrine for cesareans performed under spinal anesthesia was associated with a reduction in the incidence of hypotension per operative without deleterious effect for the newborn or parturient. In the absence of any observed complications, several teams began to use noradrenaline prophylactically in other surgery. However, no study has demonstrated its benefit, particularly the term of surgical complication in abdominal surgery. The objective of this work is to assess the preventive use of norepinephrine in major abdominal surgery on the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension, postoperative organ dysfunction and postoperative medical and surgical complications.

Control group
Active Comparator group
Description:
The first anesthetic post-induction hypotension will be managed by intravenous injection of ephedrine (dilution: 3 mg / ml) at a dose of 6 mg (i.e. 2 ml). Any subsequent hypotension will be treated with ephedrine until injection of a total dose of 30 mg. Thereafter, if a new arterial hypotension occurs, we will pass to the administration of noradrenaline in intravenous injection using an electric syringe pump, at the dilution of 0.016 mg / ml, posology adapted to the objectives. blood pressure.
Treatment:
Drug: Ephedrine
Test group
Experimental group
Description:
Immediately use of norepinephrine by intravenous injection using an electric syringe pump, at a dilution of 0.016 mg / ml, at the time of anesthetic induction and without waiting the 1st possible arterial hypotension. Noradrenaline will be started at a dose of 0.48 mg / h and then adapted according to the blood pressure objectives.
Treatment:
Drug: Norepinephrine
