NCT01811966

Brief Summary

Preoperative fasting can evoke a hypovolemia which may cause a hemodynamic instability during introduction of anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that a defined preoperative volume substitution compared to standard procedure will result in a reduced incidence of hemodynamic instabilities during introduction of anesthesia in elective surgery patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • hemodynamic instability

    Hemodynamic instability during induction of anesthesia (0-10 min), defined as at least one of the following: * Systolic blood pressure \< 80 mmHg or decrease of 20% in preexistent hypertension * Mean blood pressure \< 50 mmHg or decrease of 20% or \> 20 mmHg in preexistent hypertension * Bradycardia \< 45/min or decrease of 20% in preexistent bradycardia \< 60/min. * Tachycardia \> 120/min * Cardiac index \< 2.0 l/min/m²

    at time of introduction of anesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Stroke volume index > 35 ml/m2

    at time of anesthesia

  • Stroke volume variation < 12 %

    at time of anesthesia

  • Enddiastolic area (EDA) > 10 cm2

    at time of anesthesia

  • inferior vana cava diameter (VCI) > 15 mm

    at time of anesthesia
