NCT04894019

Brief Summary

This is a randomized trial (1) investigating whether continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring using an arterial catheter reduces the area under a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction compared to intermittent arterial blood pressure monitoring using oscillometry in patients having major surgery under general anesthesia; and (2) investigating the effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring using an arterial catheter on cardiac output, stroke volume, and heart rate within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction compared to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry in patients having major surgery under general anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Area under a MAP of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    during the induction period

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring on cardiac output within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    during the induction period

  • Effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring on stroke volume within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    during the induction period

  • Effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring on heart rate within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    during the induction period

Study Arms (2)

Continuous monitoring group

EXPERIMENTAL

In patients randomized to the continuous monitoring group, continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring will be displayed on the patient monitor. The treating anesthesiologist will be blinded to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry.

Device: Continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring

Intermittent monitoring group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In patients randomized to the intermittent monitoring group, intermittent blood pressure monitoring will be displayed on the patient monitor. The treating anesthesiologist is blinded to continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring.

Device: Intermittent non-invasive blood pressure monitoring

Interventions

Continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring using an arterial catheter

Continuous monitoring group

Intermittent non-invasive blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry

Intermittent monitoring group

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Patients...
  • at least 18 years of age
  • scheduled for elective major surgery under general anesthesia that requires continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring using a radial arterial catheter for clinical indications not related to the study

You may not qualify if:

  • Clinical indication to insert the arterial catheter before anesthetic induction ("awake arterial catheter"; this is usually the case in patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure or left ventricular assist device)
  • emergency surgery
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification V or VI
  • need for femoral artery catheterization
  • heart rhythms other than sinus rhythm.
