About

The aim of the study is to determine whether a goal-directed algorithm based on the prevention of arterial hypotension using the Hypotension Prediction Index reduces the duration and severity of intraoperative hypotension when compared with the recommended standard therapy and if this intraoperative strategy affects tissue oxygenation and organ perfusion.

Full description

Background: Intraoperative arterial hypotension is associated with poor postoperative outcomes. The Hypotension Prediction Index developed from machine learning, predicts the occurrence of arterial hypotension from the analysis of the arterial pressure waveform. The use of this index can reduce the duration and severity of intraoperative hypotension in adults undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Methods: We will conduct a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial (N=80) in high-risk surgical patients scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery. All participants will be randomly assigned to a control or intervention group. Hemodynamic management in the control group will be based on standard hemodynamic parameters. Hemodynamic management of patients in the intervention group will be based on functional hemodynamic parameters provided by Hemosphere platform (Edwards Lifesciences Ltd), including dynamic arterial elastance, dP/dtmax and the Hypotension Prediction Index. Tissue oxygen saturation will be non-invasively and continuously recorded by using near-infrared spectroscopy technology. Biomarkers of acute kidney stress (cTIMP2 and IGFBP7) will be obtained before and after surgery. The primary outcome will be intraoperative time-weighted average with a mean arterial pressure < 65mmHg.

Discussion: The aim of the study is to determine whether a goal-directed algorithm based on the prevention of arterial hypotension using the Hypotension Prediction Index reduces the duration and severity of intraoperative hypotension when compared with the recommended standard therapy and if this intraoperative strategy affects tissue oxygenation and organ perfusion.

Enrollment: 80 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 65+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Enrolled patients will be at least 65 years old and/or American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status III/IV, scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery (general surgery, urology, or gynecology, through laparoscopic or open approach), with general or combined anesthesia. Surgery will be considered to be major if the expected duration is > 2 h, or the estimated blood loss is > 15% of blood volume, or if the expected required transfusion is ≥ 2 packed red blood cells.

Exclusion criteria will be pregnancy, surgery performed only under regional anesthesia, preoperative glomerular filtrate < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 according to the CKD-EPI 2009 formula, persistent atrial fibrillation, known cardiac shunts or if the patient received a kidney transplant, and refusal of the patient to participate in the study.

Experimental

Experimental group

Description:

Hemodynamic management will be based on the functional hemodynamic parameters provided by Hemosphere platform with the Acumen IQ sensor, including cardiac output, stroke volume, SVV and Acumen IQ specific parameters: maximal arterial pressure rise (dP/dtmax), dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn) and HPI As a pattern replacement of interstitial space, we will use balanced crystalloid (Isofundin®) at 1-3 ml / kg / h in case of laparoscopic surgery and 5 to 7 ml / kg / h in case of open surgery. The protocol of action on the intravascular space will be based on the maintenance of systolic volume with colloids (hydroxyethyl starch - Voluvén®).

Treatment:

Device: Hemosphere platform® together with the FloTrac Acumen IQ® sensor

Control

Other group

Description:

Hemodynamic management will be based on the functional hemodynamic parameters provided by the HemoSphere platform® with the FloTrac® sensor, including cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), and stroke volume variation (SVV) As a pattern replacement of interstitial space, we use balanced crystalloid (Isofundin®) at 1-3 ml / kg / h in case of laparoscopic surgery and 5 to 7 ml / kg / h in case of open surgery. The protocol action for the intravascular space will be based on a recently published hemodynamic optimization algorithm (Heming N, Moine P, Coscas R, Annane D. Perioperative fluid management for major elective surgery. British Journal of Surgery. 2020;107:e56-62). The fluid used will be hydroxyethyl starch (Voluven®).
