  Purpose

This is a multi-Center, prospective, randomized Outcome Study comparing continuous cardiac index trending via a radial arterial line versus standard care in general surgical patients Clinical outcome of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery is explored in two different groups. In one group hemodynamic management is guided by the internal standard of the anesthesiological department. In the other group fluid management is goal directed by by continuous cardiac index trending via a radial arterial line and pulse pressure variation.


Condition Intervention
Reduction of Length of Hospitality Stay, Reduction of Perioperative Complications
 Device: measurement of cardiac output and pulse pressure variation

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Subject)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Multi-center, Prospective, Randomized Outcome Study Comparing Continuous Cardiac Index Trending Via a Radial Arterial Line Versus Standard Care in General Surgical Patients

Further study details as provided by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • postoperative complications [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed from end of surgery for the duration of stay in the recovery room, for the duration of the complete hospital stay, an expected average of ten 10 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Categories of postoperative complications: Infection (respiratory, abdominal, UTI, wound), Respiratory (prolonged need for ventilation), Cardiovascular (edema, arrythmia, hypotension, AMI, stroke), Abdominal (constipation), Renal (urine output <500ml/d, ARF)


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • hospital stay [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    length of stay in the postoperative care unit, length of hospital stay


Enrollment: 160
