Brief Summary

"Restrictive" fluid management is usually the current standard practice for patients undergoing liver surgery. The general idea is to maintain a low central venous pressure in order to decrease blood loss and improve the quality of the surgical field. However, this strategy , considered as rather "restrictive", can be associated with patient's harm, mainly acute kidney injury. Today, Goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) is a well accepted strategy to optimize fluid administration in patients undergoing major surgery which aimed to maintain normovolemia without being too liberal. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare these two strategies on Urethral Perfusion index measured with a new IKORUS UP probe (Foley catheter made smarter with embedded photoplethysmographic sensing technology).

Study Arms (2)

Low CVP group (restrictive group)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard practice: the goal is to keep the CVP \< 7 mmHg during surgery. Baseline of crystalloid of 2ml/kg/h max in all patients. EV 1000 monitoring device (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, USA) will be used but values will be blinded to the anesthesiologist in charge of the patient. Mean Arterial pressure (MAP) should be kept over 65mmHg during surgery (standard practice) with continuous norepinephrine infusion Additionnal fluid administration is given to the patient at the end of the surgery (standard practice) UPi is blinded in all groups

Procedure: LOW CVP (restrictive group)

GDFT group

EXPERIMENTAL

The goal is to keep stroke volume variation below 13% during surgery with mini fluid challenge of 100 ml of balanced crystalloid using the monitoring device (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, USA). Of course, the values will not be blinded to the anesthesiologist in charge of the patient. All patients have a baseline crystalloid: 2ml/kg/h and mini fluid challenges per 100 ml as described above. Mean Arterial pressure (MAP) should be kept over 65mmHg during surgery (standard practice) with continuous norepinephrine infusion UPi is blinded in all groups

Procedure: GDFT

Interventions

GDFTPROCEDURE

The titration of fluid will be based on stroke volume variation. The goal is to maintain this variable \< 13% during surgery with multiple mini fluid challenge of 100 ml of balanced crystalloid.

GDFT group

Goal = CVP \< 7mmHg and only 2 ml/kg/h max during surgery.

Low CVP group (restrictive group)
