Scientific titleIntra-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
Study objectivesCompared 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 overall trial end date; the initial overall trial end date was 01/03/2010.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Charité - University Medicine Berlin, 22/01/2009
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedElective liver resection surgery
InterventionThe 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).
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure(s)

Stroke volume before intra-operative start of liver resection

Key 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

Completion date29/08/2010
