Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Acute Kidney Injury

    KIDIGO Criteria for AKI

    7 days or discharge whichever occurs first

  • Renal Biomarkers

    NGAL, Hepcidin-25, and Uromodulin

    48 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Total Fluid Administered

    From initiation of surgery to 48 hours postoperatively

  • ICU Length of Stay

    From admission to the intensive care unit until discharge or 20 weeks whichever comes first.

  • Hemodynamic Support Usage

    During the first 48 hours postoperatively

  • Morbidity and Mortality

    30 days

  • Blood Transfusions

    From surgical incision to 48 hours postoperatively

Study Arms (2)

ACUMEN guided resuscitation protocol

EXPERIMENTAL

Fluid resuscitation and hemodynamic management will be guided by ACUMEN based off a protocol.

Other: Goal Directed Fluid Therapy

Standard of care resuscitation

NO INTERVENTION

Fluid resuscitation will be guided by standard monitors (urine output, blood loss, transesophageal echocardiography).

Interventions

Fluid administration and hemodynamic management guided with the assistance of Edwards Lifesciences ACUMEN monitor

ACUMEN guided resuscitation protocol
