Brief summary
This study test the agreement and precision of Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) and Cardiac Output (CO) obtained by the Android application Capstesia™ against another pulse contour CO monitoring ( EV-1000, Edwards Lefesciences, USA)
Detailed description
Pulse pressure variation (PPV) remains a good predictor of fluid responsiveness in the OR. However, PPV can be time-consuming to calculate (manual determination), is not always displayed on monitoring screens nor reliable through visual assessment and needs additional devices to be displayed. A new Android application (Captesia) automatically calculates the PPV utilizing a digital photograph of the arterial waveform from the monitor. The application determines the PPV by selecting peaks and troughs of the arterial curve.
Interventions
Picture of the arterial waveform taken with a smartphone

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* patients scheduled for major surgery which requires a CO and PPV monitoring as standard of care
Exclusion criteria
* patients with arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation * patients with valvular insufficiency
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement and precision of PPV and CO during 5 surgical phases (postinduction, pre incision, postincision, end of surgery and at least one episode of hypotension) | during surgery | We will compare PPV and CO given with the EV-1000 and the capstesia app at different phases of the surgery |
