From the registry’s dates

  • Primary completion was expected by Apr 2025, 1 year 6 months ago, but the record still lists the study as recruiting.
  • Registered 5 months after the study started (first participant enrolled Apr 2019, registered Sep 2019).
  • Started Apr 2019; still recruiting 7 years 7 months later.

Study summary

The decision to give fluids perioperatively could be based on methods used to identify preload responsiveness, either invasive or noninvasive estimates of stroke volume variation during mechanical ventilation. This study compares fluid management using invasive measurement SPV/PPV (Aisys GE) and noninvasive haemodynamic measurement (ClarSight, Edwards).

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to optimise fluid management and to reduce perioperative risks during brain surgery. Adequate perioperative management guided by hemodynamic monitoring can help to reduce the risk of complications and thus potentially improve outcomes.

This study compares fluid management algorithms based either on invasive detection of fluid responsiveness using pulse pressure variation (PPV) and systolic pressure variation (SPV) values (Aisys GE monitoring system) in group A, or on noninvasive measurement of haemodynamics (stroke volume variation (SVV), cardiac index (CI) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) values) (ClearSight, Edwards) in group B.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Group A invasive haemodynamical measurement

    No continuous infusion of fluids will be used intraoperatively. A defined amount of fluid (20 ml of Plasmalyte, Baxter) will be used to flush the anesthetics and other drugs only. Fluid bolus will be applied in case of protocol defined hypotension according to the value of systolic pressure variation SPV (Aisys GE). The value of SPV (tidal volume 6 ml/kg) above 8% will be used to predict fluid responsiveness. In case of fluid responsiveness, bolus of 2ml/kg of Plasmalyte will be given within 10 minutes. Boluses will be repeated in hypotensive patients if fluid responsiveness persists. Norepinephrine will be used in hypotensive patients without predicted fluid responsiveness.

    Procedure: Hemodynamic management based on invasive fluid responsiveness parameters

  • Experimental
    Group B non-invasive haemodynamical measurement

    No continuous infusion of fluids will be used intraoperatively. A defined amount of fluid (20 ml of Plasmalyte, Baxter) will be used to flush the anesthetics and other drugs only. Fluid management and the use of norepinephrine will follow a protocol based on the values of cardiac index level, systemic vascular resistance and systolic volume variation (SVV) (ClearSight, Edwards).

    Procedure: Hemodynamic management based on noninvasive cardiac output and SVV measurement

Interventions

  • ProcedureHemodynamic management based on invasive fluid responsiveness parameters

    In case of hypotension (reduction of MAP for more than 15% of individual blood pressure) the SPV value more than 8% will be used as a trigger for the bolus of 2 ml/kg of Plasmalyte (Baxter)

  • ProcedureHemodynamic management based on noninvasive cardiac output and SVV measurement

    In case of hypotension (reduction of MAP for more than 15% of individual blood pressure) the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) value will be used to trigger norepinephrine infusion. In patients with low SVR norepinephrine infusion will be started. In patients with high SVR value either fluid bolus (in patient with SVV value above 8%), or dobutamine infusion (in patients with SVV value below or equal 8%) will be used.
