NCT02104687

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to confirm the hypothesis that flow treatment algorithm based on cardiac index trending by transesophageal Dopplerometry would result in reduced complications and reduced length of hospital stay in major abdominal surgery patients, when compared to patients treated with press treatment algorithm.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pre-defined postoperative complications for up to 28 days after surgery

    The followed postoperative complications include infectious, respiratory, cardiovascular, abdominal, renal complications, massive postoperative bleeding and preoperative death.

    24 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The length of hospitalization

    24 months

Study Arms (2)

Flow

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Flow therapeutic algorithm will be responsible for adjustment of intraoperative interventions - volumotherapy and administration of vasoactive drugs, with the aim to maintain the CI value \>2.5 l/m/m2 (FTc - flow time \<330 ms was chosen as variable defining preload; PV, peak velocity \<70 ms-1 will be used as a variable defining contractility; SVR, total systemic vascular resistance between 1000-1800 cdyn.s/cm5m2 will be used as variable defining after load). After the desired values of CI have been obtained, no further increase of therapeutic intervention (fluids, vasoactive drugs) will be performed.

Procedure: Press group

Press

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Press therapeutic algorithm will be responsible for adjustment of intraoperative interventions based upon standard pressure parameters and will include volumotherapy and administration of vasoactive drugs, with the aim to maintain the desired values of MAP of 65-105 mmHg and CVP 8-12 mmHg. After the desired values of MAP and CVP have been obtained, no further increase of therapeutic intervention (fluids, vasoactive drugs) will be performed.

Procedure: Flow group

Interventions

Flow groupPROCEDURE

After induction, each patient will obtain Transesophageal Dopplerometry probe (CardioQ) in order to monitor the parameters of CI, FTc, PV and SVR.

Press
Press groupPROCEDURE

After induction, the parameters of MAP and CVP will be monitored in each of the patients.
