The aim of the study is to determine whether a goal-directed algorithm based on the prevention of arterial hypotension using the Hypotension Prediction Index reduces the duration and severity of intraoperative hypotension when compared with the recommended standard therapy and if this intraoperative strategy affects tissue oxygenation and organ perfusion.
Background: Intraoperative arterial hypotension is associated with poor postoperative outcomes. The Hypotension Prediction Index developed from machine learning, predicts the occurrence of arterial hypotension from the analysis of the arterial pressure waveform. The use of this index can reduce the duration and severity of intraoperative hypotension in adults undergoing noncardiac surgery. Methods: We will conduct a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial (N=80) in high-risk surgical patients scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery. All participants will be randomly assigned to a control or intervention group. Hemodynamic management in the control group will be based on standard hemodynamic parameters. Hemodynamic management of patients in the intervention group will be based on functional hemodynamic parameters provided by Hemosphere platform (Edwards Lifesciences Ltd), including dynamic arterial elastance, dP/dtmax and the Hypotension Prediction Index. Tissue oxygen saturation will be non-invasively and continuously recorded by using near-infrared spectroscopy technology. Biomarkers of acute kidney stress (cTIMP2 and IGFBP7) will be obtained before and after surgery. The primary outcome will be intraoperative time-weighted average with a mean arterial pressure \< 65mmHg. Discussion: The aim of the study is to determine whether a goal-directed algorithm based on the prevention of arterial hypotension using the Hypotension Prediction Index reduces the duration and severity of intraoperative hypotension when compared with the recommended standard therapy and if this intraoperative strategy affects tissue oxygenation and organ perfusion.

Clinical platform that, analyzing the pulse wave contour, obtained from the previously catheterized radial artery, is able to make available to the clinician both a continuous monitoring of blood pressure and advanced hemodynamic parameters that help patient management. It incorporates predictive parameters such as the hypotension prediction index and decision support parameters such as dynamic arterial elastance and maximum dP / dT. It also has the possibility of assessing regional oxygen saturation, measured by near-infrared light photoplethysmography, and the sensor can be applied in different locations (cerebral, muscular ...).

TWA-MAP< 65 mmHg
Area between 65 mmHg threshold and the curve of the MAP measurements divided by the total continuous reading time mmHg for a minimum duration of 1 minute (3 consecutive records from one minute to more between two consecutive falls).
Time frame: Intraoperatively
Number of intraoperative hypotension episodes
defined as an event of MAP \< 65 mmHg of at least 1-minute duration
Time frame: Intraoperatively
Total time of hypotension per case
Intraoperative Total time of hypotension (MAP \< 65 mmHg)
Time frame: Intraoperatively
StO2
StO2 will be non-invasively and continuously recorded in the brachioradial muscle in the arm opposite to the arterial line. We calculated the time averaged StO2 per patient and identified the minimum StO2, defined as the minimum value sustained (+1%) over at least 5 min
Time frame: Intraoperatively
Acute kidney stress biomarkers
Urine immunoassay, commercially known as Nephrocheck® (Biomerieux). The first sample (NC1) will be collected after anesthetic induction, when performing bladder catheterization. The first postoperative sample (NC2) will be collected during the first 4 hours after the patient is admitted to the UCI / REA for their postoperative stay. If the AKIRisk value in that first postoperative sample (NC2) is less than 0.3, no new Nephrocheck® determinations will be collected. If the AKIRisk value in the first postoperative sample (NC2) is greater than 2, no further Nephrocheck® determinations will be made. If the AKIRisk value in that first postoperative sample (NC2) is between 0.3 and 2, we will collect a second postoperative sample (NC3) at 12 hours of the first. No more Nephrocheck® determinations will be made.
Time frame: NC1: after anestesic induction // NC2: First 4 hours after the patient is admitted to the UCI/REA // NC3: 12 hours after NC2.
