Hemodynamic Monitoring, Perioperative Complications, Radical Cystectomy
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether increasing cardiac output by a combination of intravenous fluids and inotropic drugs can reduce mortality and morbidity in radical cystectomy operations.
Interventions
The target is increasing oxygen delivery above 600ml/min/mr2 by either bolus of iv colloid or a continuous infusion of dopamine, dobutamine or noradrenaline. The fluids and drug administration will be directed and monitored by the lidco system and transesophageal echocardiography.
