NCT02138942

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that the LIR (Learning Intravenous Resuscitator) Closed-Loop Fluid Administration System (hereafter the "LIR system"), a new device for the automated administration of intravenous fluids during major abominal surgery and which allows the reinjection of 250 ml of saline filling (crystalloid or colloid), maintains blood volume at values that are acceptable by the "gold standard", i.e. the anesthetist in charge of the patient.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The percentage of fluid (crystalloid or colloid) administration changes per patient performed by the LIR system and approved / accepted by the participating anesthetist.

    A change may be non-validated in the following two situations: 1. Stopping criteria when using the LIR system: * malfunction of the device * malfunction of the electric syringe (Agilia, Fresenius Kabi, Germany) * an abnormality of cardiac output measurement or appearance of a limitation to the use of pulse pressure variation (cardiac arrhythmia, spontaneous ventilation, tidal volume \<7 ml / kg of theoretical ideal weight). 2. Non-validation criteria for fluid administration despite a positive indication by the LIR device: If the answer to the two following questions are both yes, preventing the LIR device from acting is not theoretically justified, and the anesthesiologist must justify stopping the device and record the reason for his/her non-validation of the administration of fluid therapy. * The last fill increased cardiac output more than 15%? yes/no * The prediction parameter for filling response (pulse pressure variation) indicates vascular filling? yes/no

    Day 0, just after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (38)

  • The number of fluid administration modifications (cristalloid or colloid) performed by the device

    Day 0, just after surgery

  • The number of times the anesthetist in charge of the patient had to intervene with the fluid administration (cristalloid or colloid) system/device.

    Day 0, just after surgery

  • The total volume of HEA and crystalloid infused during the preload optimizations and cardiac output

    Day 0, just after surgery

  • The total amount of crystalloid administered for basic inputs during surgery

    Day 0, just after surgery

  • The total amount of intravenous fluids administered during surgery

    Day 0, just after surgery

  • +33 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

The study population

EXPERIMENTAL

See inclusion/exclusion criteria. Intervention: LIR

Device: Learning Intravenous Resuscitator (LIR) system

Interventions

The usual patient pathways and recommendations concerning vascular filling remain strictly unchanged in this study. The only thing that differs from usual care is the use of the LIR system to automatically optimize fluid resuscitation during general anesthesia, with continuous supervision by the anesthesiologist present during the entire period of use of the device.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • The patient must have given his/her informed and signed consent
  • The patient must be insured or beneficiary of a health insurance plan
  • The patient will receive general anesthesia for a surgical procedure with the following characteristics: ----- planned abdominal surgery by laparotomy or laparoscopy with a probable duration\> 2 hours ----- invasive monitoring of blood pressure ----- administration of crystalloid and colloid (HEA PM \<150 kDa)

You may not qualify if:

  • The patient is participating in another study
  • The patient is under judicial protection, under tutorship or curatorship
  • The patient refuses to sign the consent
  • It is impossible to correctly inform the patient
  • The patient is pregnant, parturient, or breastfeeding
  • The patient has a contraindication for a treatment used in this study: ----- Contraindications to the administration of HES MW \<150 kDa ----- Patient classified NYHA\> 2 ----- Allergy to HEA
  • The patient has a pacemaker
  • Surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Surgery on the skull
  • Dementia
  • Patients with brain pathology (tumor, stroke, Parkinson's disease, ...)
  • Patients with a psychiatric disorder, severe depression or psychosis, as well as those receiving antipsychotic treatment
  • Limitations concerning the use of respiratory pulse pressure variation: cardiac arrhythmia, spontaneous ventilation, using a volume flow \<7 ml / kg
