Brief Summary

Intraoperative hypotension can impact patient outcome. Vasopressors are usually used to correct hypotension and ensure adequate organ perfusion. The investigators have recently developed an automated system (closed-loop system) to titrate vasopressor agents in surgical and intensive care patients. The purpose of this study is to compare two strategies to correct hypotension based on an individual definition of hypotension (therefore, the target MAP used to define hypotension will differ for each patient (individualized approach):

  1. 1.Control group = standard practice ( manually adjusted norepinephrine infusion to correct hypotension and keep MAP within 90% of patient's baseline MAP
  2. 2.Intervention group = closed-loop (automated) vasopressor administration system will deliver norepinephrine using feedback from standard operating room hemodynamic monitor (EV1000 Monitor-Flotrac, Edwards Lifesciences, IRVINE, USA) to correct hypotension and keep MAP within 90% of patient's baseline MAP

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of case Time in hypotension (MAP < 90% of the chosen MAP target).

    Undertreatment. Percentage of time during surgery in hypotension. The MAP used to define hypotension will differ for each patient (individualized approach)

    At postoperative day 1

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Percentage of case time in hypotension (MAP < 65 mmHg)

    during surgery

  • Percentage of case time in target (MAP +/- 10 mmHg) of the chosen MAP target

    during surgery

  • Amount of vasopressors received

    during surgery

  • Uretral perfusion index during surgery

    during surgery

  • Uretral perfusion index during the first 15 minutes of the surgery

    during surgery

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

manual group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Hypotension will be corrected by manual infusion of norepinephrine

Device: Manual adjustment

closed-loop group

EXPERIMENTAL

Hypotension will be corrected by closed-loop control of norepinephrine infusion

Device: closed-loop system

Interventions

Hypotension will be corrected by an automated system for vasopressor administration. Fluids will be given using a goal directed strategy (EV1000 Monitor, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA)

closed-loop group

Vasopressor agents will be manually adjusted (standard practice). Fluids will be given using a goal directed strategy (EV1000 Monitor, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA)

manual group
