Conditions

Fluid Challenge, Hypovolemia, Intraoperative Monitoring

Brief summary

This clinical trial aims to study the interest of the Pleth Variability Index (PVI) to evaluate perioperative fluid responsiveness in neurosurgery in adults. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the Pleth variability index predict fluid responsiveness in neurosurgery? Researchers will compare the Pleth variability index to dela PP to see if it predicts fluid responsiveness in neurosurgery. Once participants give their consent, they will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In one group, fluid responsiveness will be monitored using the Pleth Variability Index, while in the other group, it will be monitored using delta PP.

Interventions

OTHERperioperative fluid responsiveness with the Pleth variability index

Perioperative fluid challenge and responsiveness will be based on monitoring the pleth variability index. In fact, volemia will be estimated with the PVI.

OTHERperioperative fluid responsiveness with delta PP

fluid challenge and responsiveness during intervention will be based on monitoring delta PP.
