A pilot study of a goal-directed haemodynamic protocol comparison by monitoring with LiDCOrapid or oesophageal Doppler and conventional therapy during liver resection
ISRCTN ISRCTN64578872
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title A pilot study of a goal-directed haemodynamic protocol comparison by monitoring with LiDCOrapid or oesophageal Doppler and conventional therapy during liver resection
Scientific title Intra-operative comparison of a goal-directed haemodynamic protocol by monitoring with LiDCOrapid or oesophageal Doppler and conventional therapy during liver resection: a prospective, randomised, controlled, blinded, three-armed single centre pilot study
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source N/A
Study hypothesis Compared to conventional therapy an intra-operative goal-directed haemodynamic management by monitoring with LiDCOrapid or oesophageal Doppler improves haemodynamics measured by stroke volume (SV) in patients undergoing elective liver resection.

As of 03/11/2010 this record has been updated to include an extended anticipated end date; the initial anticipated end date of this trial was 01/03/2010.

Patient information material Not available in web format, please use the contact details below to request a patient information sheet
Target number of participants 60
Interventions The interventions will take place only during liver resection:
1. Conventional intra-operative haemodynamic management
2. Intra-opertive LiDCOrapid-guided haemodynamic management
3. Intra-operative oesophageal Doppler-guided haemodynamic management

The last study day of the patient will be on the post-operative day 8 or on the day of hospital discharge (less than 8 post-operative days).
Primary outcome measure(s) Stroke volume before intra-operative start of liver resection
Secondary outcome measure(s) All determined within the study period of 8 post-operative days:
1. Intra-operative and post-operative haemodynamic parameters
2. Intra-operative and post-operative blood loss
3. (Cumulative) frequency of organ dysfunctions (cerebral, pulmonal, renal, abdominal, cardiovascular)
4. Post-operative liver function (LiMAx-test, ICG-Clearance, liver Doppler, laboratory tests: enzymatic and chemical parameters)
5. Peri-operative weight change
6. Post-operative incidence of infections
7. Satisfaction of the patients, the surgeons and anaesthetists
8. Time to fulfilling discharge criteria
9. Length of intensive care stay and hospital stay (LOS)
10. Quality of life measure (EQ-5D)
11. Laboratory tests: peri-operative endothelial and immunological alterations
