Background: Evidence for the benefit of an intraoperative use of a goal-directed haemodynamic management has grown. We compared the oesophageal Doppler monitor (ODM, CardioQ-ODM™) with a calibrated pulse contour analysis (PCA, PiCCO2™) with regard to assessment of stroke volume (SV) changes after volume administration within a goal-directed haemodynamic algorithm during non-cardiac surgery.

Methods: The data were obtained prospectively in patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma undergoing cytoreductive surgery. During surgery, fluid challenges were performed as indicated by the goal-directed haemodynamic algorithm guided by the ODM. Monitors were compared regarding precision and trending. Clinical characteristics associated with trending were studied by extended regression analysis.

Results: A total of 762 fluid challenges were performed in 41 patients resulting in 1524 paired measurements. The precision of ODM and PCA was 5.7% and 6.0% (P=0.80), respectively. Polar plot analysis revealed a poor trending between ODM and PCA with an angular bias of -7.1°, radial limits of agreement of -58.1° to 43.8°, and an angular concordance rate of 67.8%. Dose of norepinephrine (NE) (scaled 0.1 µg kg(-1) min(-1)) [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.606 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0.404-0.910); P=0.016] and changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) to a fluid challenge (scaled 10%) [adjusted OR 0.733 (95% CI: 0.635-0.845); P<0.001] were associated with trending between ODM and PCA, whereas there was no relation to type of i.v. solution.

Conclusions: Despite a similar precision, ODM and PCA were not interchangeable with regard to measuring SV changes within a goal-directed haemodynamic algorithm. A decrease in interchangeability coincided with increasing NE levels and greater changes of MAP to a fluid challenge.

Septic shock is a serious and life-threatening illness marked by potentially fatal and metabolic abnormalities, leading to high mortality rates in adult patients. Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) was introduced as a systematic approach to manage septic shock through early, protocol-based hemodynamic optimization to improve outcomes. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of EGDT in managing adult patients with septic shock.

Background: Goal-directed haemodynamic therapy (GDHT) aims to optimize haemodynamic variables. However, its effectiveness in reducing postoperative complications in major abdominal surgery, particularly when targeting both arterial pressure and flow variables, remains unclear. This meta-analysis addresses this by evaluating GDHT using uncalibrated pulse contour (uPC) methods.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common postoperative complication. Goal-directed haemodynamic therapy (GDHT) may help to prevent SSI, but recommendations for its use initially have been set at conditional because of low-certainty evidence at the time. An updated systematic review with SSI as the primary endpoint has not been performed since 2011, and important new evidence has emerged.

Article Synopsis
  • Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury can lead to both large-scale (macrocirculatory) and small-scale (microcirculatory) blood flow failures, and the study aimed to test if combining a vasoconstrictor (norepinephrine) with a vasodilator (ilomedin) improves blood pressure and circulation after injury.
  • The research was conducted on 21 pigs, with three groups receiving different treatments before and after a 2-hour induced small bowel ischemia followed by reperfusion, measuring various circulatory parameters and biomarkers.
  • Results showed no significant differences in mean arterial pressure or cardiac index between the groups, but the combination therapy group had notably better microcirculation performance immediately after and two
