Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Change in SVR after phenylephrine administration (phase 1). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In vivo (phase 1): - Systemic arterial pressure waveform morphology. - Pulse transit time. - Change in MAP, systemic arterial pressure waveform morphology and pulse transit time after phenylephrine administration. - Change in MAP, cardiac index and SVR after nitroglycerin administration. - Vasoplegia: the continuous need of vasopressors (norepinephrine *0.2 µg/ kg/min for at least 12 consecutive hours, terlipressin or methylene blue) in combination a state with a cardiac index *2,2 l/min/m2 for at least 12 consecutive hours, starting within the first 3 days postoperatively. - Copeptin, norepinephrine, epinephrine, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal prohormone of BNP (NTproBNP), angiotensin II, cortisol, aldosterone, renin and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) levels. Ex vivo (phase 1 and 2): - Change in vessel diameter in response to vasoactive drugs. - Activated signalling proteins which are associated with vasoresponsiveness. - Receptors (quantity and function) which are associated with vasoresponsiveness. | — |
