AbstractObjective: To investigate the effect of goal-directed haemodynamic management based on stroke volume variation (SVV), cardiac index (CI) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) on the postoperative outcome in elderly patients with fragile cardiac function undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Methods: Ninety patients with fragile cardiac function, aged 65-90 years old, ASAⅡ or Ⅲ, NYHA Ⅱor Ⅲ, scheduled for abdominal surgery were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: Experience anesthesia group (group E, n=45) and goal-directed hemodynamic management group (G group, n=45). After anesthesia induction, in group G, the SVV and CI were monitored by Vigileo and according SVV (≤12%), CI (≥2.5 L·min-1·m-2) and MAP (maintain the base value of ±20%) to adjust the preloaded infusion fluid and give positive inotropic drugs and positive pressure drugs; in group E, fluid and vasoactive agent were used according to the experience of anesthesiologist.Multi-mode monitoring anesthesia management using BIS, TCI of propofol, low-tidal-volume lung protective ventilation management strategy, body temperature protection, and postoperative multimodal analgesia techniques was performed in the two groups.Values of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were recorded before operation, at the end of operation, and postoperative 24 h. The incidence of myocardial infarction/angina, heart failure, arrhythmia and cerebral infarction, renal failure, length of hospitalization, and complications in 30-days after surgery were recorded by telephone follow-up. Results: Crystal, colloid, total liquid of group E were (1 110.20±332.00), (536.65±72.25), (1 677.20±424.44) ml and these of group G were (708.72±240.85), (414.41±74.31), (878.51±199.13) ml, respectively.Compared with group E, the fluid infusion were reduced in group G (t=6.057, 2.701, 9.742, all P<0.05). The lactic acid value of 24 hours after surgery in group G was significantly lower than that in group E [(0.89±0.31) mmol/L vs (1.11±0.43) mmol/L, t=-2.848, P<0.05]. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen at 24 hours after surgery in group G was higher than that in group E [(78.77±6.86) mmHg vs (76.46±10.96) mmHg, t=-1.108, P<0.05]. The length of hospitalization of group G was shorter than that of group E [(12.21±2.20) d vs (13.16±3.84) d, t=-1.341, P<0.05]. The incidence of total complication in hospital and in 30-days after surgery of group G were 10.26% and 5.13%, while these of group E were 29.73% and 24.32%, (χ2=4.545, 4.520, all P<0.05). ΔNT-proBNP1 (the base value of NT-proBNP's minus the value of NT-proBNP's at the end of the operation) and ΔNT-proBNP2 (the base value of NT-proBNP's minus the value of NT-proBNP's 24 hours postoperatively) of group G were 12.0(-291.0, 1 517.0) and 0(-6 770.0, 291.0), both higher than these of group E [0(-440.0, 200.0) and -12.0(-7 200, 22.0), (Z=-2.412, -2.163, all P<0.05)]. Conclusion: Goal-directed haemodynamic management based on SVV, CI and MAP could improve the outcome of the elderly patients with fragile heart function undergoing abdominal surgery.
