Brief summary
The purpose of this case series is to evaluate the performance of a novel closed-loop (automated) vasopressor administration system that delivers norepinephrine using feedback from standard hemodynamic monitor (EV1000 Monitor) from Edwards Lifesciences (IRVINE, USA) in critically ill patients
Detailed description
In this protocol, the investigators will report the percentage of case time in hypotension (defined as Mean arterial pressure (MAP) \< 72mmHg) during a two hours study protocol in critically ill patients. The target MAP will be set at 80 mmHg, and the definition of hypotension is a MAP \< 90% of MAP target ( 80 mmHg - 10% = 72 mmHg) The investigators want to demonstrate that the closed-loop system can prevent hypotension at this specific set point. The investigators will test the system in a short series of 10-12 critically ill patients in the ICU setting during a two hours study protocol. Participants will receive standard patient care Fluids will be given as a baseline crystalloid administration set at 1-2 ml/kg/h
Interventions
The system will be tested to see if it can avoid hypotension

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of case Time in hypotension (MAP <72 mmHg) | During thetwo hours study protocol | The primary outcome will be the percentage of case time in predefined MAP target |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| percentage of case time with MAP >88 mmHg with norepinephrine still running | During the two hours study protocol | overtreatment |
| Amount of vasopressors received | During the two hours study protocol | Amount of vasopressors received (norepinephrine) |
