Goal-directed intraoperative therapy based on autocalibrated arterial pressure waveform analysis reduces hospital stay in high-risk surgical patients: a randomized, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Several studies have shown that goal-directed hemodynamic and fluid optimization may result in improved outcome. However, the methods used were either invasive or had other limitations. The aim of this study was to perform intraoperative goal-directed therapy with a minimally invasive, easy to use device (FloTrac/Vigileo), and to evaluate possible improvements in patient outcome determined by the duration of hospital stay and the incidence of complications compared to a standard management protocol.In this randomized, controlled trial 60 high-risk patients scheduled for major abdominal surgery were included. Patients were allocated into either an enhanced hemodynamic monitoring group using a cardiac index based intraoperative optimization protocol (FloTrac/Vigileo device, GDT-group, n = 30) or a standard management group (Control-group, n = 30), based on standard monitoring data.The median duration of hospital stay was significantly reduced in the GDT-group with 15 (12 - 17.75) days versus 19 (14 - 23.5) days (P = 0.006) and fewer patients developed complications than in the Control-group [6 patients (20%) versus 15 patients (50%), P = 0.03]. The total number of complications was reduced in the GDT-group (17 versus 49 complications, P = 0.001).In high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, implementation of an intraoperative goal-directed hemodynamic optimization protocol using the FloTrac/Vigileo device was associated with a reduced length of hospital stay and a lower incidence of complications compared to a standard management protocol.Unique identifier: NCT00549419.

Project description:Background and objectivesHigh BP variability may cause AKI because of inappropriate kidney perfusion. This study aimed to investigate the association between intraoperative BP variability and postoperative AKI in patients who underwent noncardiac surgery.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe performed a cohort study of adults undergoing noncardiac surgery in hospitals in South Korea. We studied three cohorts using the following recording windows for intraoperative BP: discovery cohort, 1-minute intervals; first validation cohort, 5-minute intervals; and second validation cohort, 2-second intervals. We calculated four variability parameters (SD, coefficient of variation, variation independent of mean, and average real variability) based on the measured mean arterial pressure values. The primary outcomes were postoperative AKI (defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine cutoffs) and critical AKI (consisting of stage 2 or higher AKI and post-AKI death or dialysis within 90 days).ResultsIn the three cohorts, 45,520, 29,704, and 7435 patients were analyzed, each with 2230 (443 critical), 1552 (444 critical), and 300 (91 critical) postoperative AKI events, respectively. In the discovery cohort, all variability parameters were significantly associated with risk of AKI, even after adjusting for intraoperative hypotension. For example, average real variability was associated with higher risks of postoperative AKI (adjusted odds ratio, 1.13 per 1 SD increment; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.19) and critical AKI (adjusted odds ratio, 1.13 per 1 SD increment; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.26). Associations were evident predominantly among patients who also experienced intraoperative hypotension. In the validation analysis with 5-minute-interval BP records, all four variability parameters were associated with the risk of postoperative AKI or critical AKI. In the validation cohort with 2-second-interval BP records, average real variability was the only significant variability parameter.ConclusionsHigher intraoperative BP variability is associated with higher risks of postoperative AKI after noncardiac surgery, independent of hypotension and other clinical characteristics.

Project description:BackgroundEarly goal-directed therapy refers to the use of predefined hemodynamic goals to optimize tissue oxygen delivery in critically ill patients. Its application in high-risk abdominal surgery is, however, hindered by safety concerns and practical limitations of perioperative hemodynamic monitoring. Arterial waveform analysis provides an easy, minimally invasive alternative to conventional monitoring techniques, and could be valuable in early goal-directed strategies. We therefore investigate the effects of early goal-directed therapy using arterial waveform analysis on complications, quality of life and healthcare costs after high-risk abdominal surgery.Methods/designIn this multicenter, randomized, controlled superiority trial, 542 patients scheduled for elective, high-risk abdominal surgery will be included. Patients are allocated to standard care (control group) or early goal-directed therapy (intervention group) using a randomization procedure stratified by center and type of surgery. In the control group, standard perioperative hemodynamic monitoring is applied. In the intervention group, early goal-directed therapy is added to standard care, based on continuous monitoring of cardiac output with arterial waveform analysis. A treatment algorithm is used as guidance for fluid and inotropic therapy to maintain cardiac output above a preset, age-dependent target value. The primary outcome measure is a combined endpoint of major complications in the first 30 days after the operation, including mortality. Secondary endpoints are length of stay in the hospital, length of stay in the intensive care or post-anesthesia care unit, the number of minor complications, quality of life, cost-effectiveness and one-year mortality and morbidity.DiscussionBefore the start of the study, hemodynamic optimization by early goal-directed therapy with arterial waveform analysis had only been investigated in small, single-center studies, including minor complications as primary endpoint. Moreover, these studies did not include quality of life, healthcare costs, and long-term outcome in their analysis. As a result, the definitive role of arterial waveform analysis in the perioperative hemodynamic assessment and care for high-risk surgical patients is unknown, which gave rise to the present trial. Patient inclusion started in May 2012 and is expected to end in 2016.Trial registrationThis trial was registered in the Dutch Trial Register (registration number NTR3380) on 3 April 2012.
