Brief summary

The primary aim of this study is to quantify and compare the hemodynamic control of cardiac index in patients who receive either goal-directed therapy or standard hemodynamic management in lung resection surgery

Detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that the percentage of the intraoperative time in which the cardiac index is equal or superior to 2.2 l/min/m2 is higher in goal directed therapy

Interventions

PROCEDUREStandard care

Heart rate 60-100 beats per minute, mean arterial pressure 65 mm Hg, serum lactate 2 mmol/L, oxygen saturation 95 % (90 % during one lung ventilation).

The hemodynamic algorithm will be based on systolic volume index and fluid challenges. FloTrac sensor (this sensor connects to any existing arterial catheter and provides advanced hemodynamic parameters through pulse contour analysis) and EV1000 clinical platform (clinical platform from Edwards Lifesciences that provides advanced hemodynamic monitoring) will be used to calculate cardiac index and systolic volume index.

Pre-assignment details

31 patients signed informed consent, but there was a pre-randomization exclusion (a patient was selected and signed informed consent) because surgeons decided to carry out a less aggressive surgery from the start (atypical lung resection instead of lobectomy). That happened in only one case.

Percentage of the Intraoperative Time in Which the Cardiac Index is Equal or Superior to 2.2 l/Min/m2 (%)

To compare the degree of hemodynamic control of cardiac index in both groups: Percentage of the intraoperative time in which the cardiac index is equal or superior to 2.2 l/min/m2.

Time frame: During the total duration of the surgery, on average 4 hours. We include the time from the start of maintenance of general anesthesia to the moment of extubation of the patient.
