NCT02293473

Brief Summary

This study is designed to test if measuring the depth of anaesthesia, brain tissue oxygenation and haemodynamic parameters and specially designed interventions according to the measurements can improve the outcome of high risk surgical patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reduced hospital stay

    We are trying to prove that the protocol group will have a reduced hospital stay of 2 days

    after release from hospital, an expected average of 10 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Protocol Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Using multimodal monitoring to optimise the patients' haemodynamic status, namely, the use of LiDCO Rapid, BIS-Bispectral Index Monitor and INVOS-Cerebral Oxygenation Monitor monitors to assess and "fine tune" the patient, as described in the study protocol in detail.
