Conditions
Brief summary
To investigate how pulse wave velocity, aortic augmentation index and the arterial pulse wave given by the Arteriograph contributes to preoperative assesment, intraoperative and intensive care monitoring.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
For the preoperative arm: * Signed informed consent form * Arterial catheter for hemodynamic monitoring For the intraoperative arm: * Signed informed consent form * Arterial catheter for hemodynamic monitoring * The operation will presumably last for more than 2 hours For the intensive care unit arm: * Signed informed consent form * PiCCO monitor for hemodynamic monitoring
Exclusion criteria
For the preoperative arm: * Pregnancy * Subject belongs to a vulnerable group (ISO 14155:2011) e.g.: study member, medical student For the intraoperative arm: * Pregnancy * Subject belongs to a vulnerable group (ISO 14155:2011) e.g.: study member, medical student * Measuring blood pressure on both arms is not possible * Insertion of an arterial catheter is not necessary or contraindicated * Insertion of a central venous catheter is not necessary or contraindicated For the intensive care unit arm: * Pregnancy * Subject belongs to a vulnerable group (ISO 14155:2011) e.g.: study member, medical student
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number and degree of hypotensive episodes predicted by preoperative values of pulse wave velocity. | One year | The investigators will examine if high values of pulse wave velocity correlate with the frequency and severity of hypotensive episodes under anaesthesia. |
| Correlation between systemic vascular resistance and aortic augmentation index | One year | — |
| Identity of cardiac output given by the PiCCO monitor and cardiac output given by the Arteriograph | One year | — |
