Conditions

Non-invasive cardiac index monitoring in women undergoing laparoscopic procedure under general anaesthesia Surgery

Interventions

During the preparation for anaesthesia, two distinct measures of cardiac index will be extracted. Firstly, a small neck sensor will be placed in proximity to the external jugular vein and then a pulse

Eligibility

Sex/Gender
Female
Age
18 Years to 100 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. 18 years old or older 2. Undergoing general anaesthesia for a planned gynaecological laparoscopic procedure that is expected to last more than 60 minutes (combined anaesthesia and surgical time) 3. Can understand and read French 4. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1-3 status

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m² 2. Any condition limiting the use of VenArt CO (according to the user manual, e.g. very restricted neck anatomy, abnormalities in peripheral saturations, known allergy to adhesive products [skin sensor], central vein stenosis, Reynaud's disease, severe COPD) 3. Any condition limiting the feasibility of TTE 4. Unplanned surgery (emergency) 5. Aortic regurgitation 6. Laparoscopie vNOTES procedure

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Cardiac index values from the VenArt® CO device and transthoracic echocardiography measured simultaneously

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Cardiac index over time during the intraoperative course between the VenArt® CO device and transthoracic echocardiography. CO measures will be recorded at five different timepoints: before induction of general anaesthesia, after induction, before surgery, after pneumoperitoneum and finally after reduction of pneumoperitoneum and table tilt).
