Brief Summary

Immediately following the induction of general anesthesia, arterial hypotension may occur with an incidence of about 40% in patients classified as ASA 3 or 4. Perioperative arterial hypotension is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. The increased mortality associated with perioperative arterial hypotension has been reported up to 30 and 90 days after surgery. This association appears to be both dose-dependent and time-dependent (severity and duration of arterial hypotension). EchOptimal study aims to determine whether non invasive preoperative stroke volume optimization using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can reduce the incidence and severity arterial hypotension following induction of general anesthesia. This is prospective, randomized, controlled, double blinded study approved by ethics comittee. The primary objective of this study is to compare the incidence of arterial hypotension (mean arterial pressure \< 65 mmHg) within the first 15 minutes following the induction of general anesthesia, between 2 groups :

  • standard current care (stroke volume optimized after induction of general anesthesia using oesophageal doppler) and
  • preopertaive stroke volume optimization using transthoracic echocardiography measument of subaortic velocity time integral.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • arterial hypotension

    Incidence (%) of arterial hypotension (mean arterial pressure \< 65 mmHg) within 15 minutes following induction of general anesthesia. Blood pressure will be continuously measured using a radial arterial pressure catheter placed before induction of anesthesia in all patients.

    From enrollment to 15 min after orotracheal intubation during total intravenous anesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • technical failure of preoperative stroke volume optimization

    From enrollment to 15 min after orotracheal intubation during total intravenous anesthesia

  • duration of arterial hypotension

    From enrollment to 15 min after orotracheal intubation during total intravenous anesthesia

  • lowest mean arterial hypotension

    From enrollment to 15 min after orotracheal intubation during total intravenous anesthesia

  • vasoactive drugs administration

    From enrollment to 15 min after orotracheal intubation during total intravenous anesthesia

  • cristalloids volume

    From enrollment to 15 min after orotracheal intubation during total intravenous anesthesia

Study Arms (2)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard care : total intravenous anesthesia followed by stroke volume optimization using oesophageal doppler

Procedure: Post induction stroke volume optimization

preoperative echography

EXPERIMENTAL

Stroke volume optimization using transthoracic echocardigraphy (sub aortic velocity time integral) before induction of total intravenous anesthesia

Procedure: preoperative stroke volume optimization

Interventions

Stroke volume optimization using transthoracic echocardigraphy (sub aortic velocity time integral) before induction of total intravenous anesthesia. Fluids bolus of 250 ml of cristalloids will be successively administered until the sub aortic velocity time integral increase will be \< 10%

preoperative echography

Optimization of stroke volume following induction of general anesthesia using oesophageal stroke volume measurement. 250 ml bolus of cristalloids succesively administered until the stroke volume increase \<10%
