Hemodynamic Instability During Anesthesia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Intraoperative Focused TTE - Impact on High Risk Patients´ Management in Hemodynamic Instabilities
Focused transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a technique, which allows quick and
non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring in hemodynamic instable patients. There are
preliminary data supporting the hypothesis that TTE is feasible in the operating theatre.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that intraoperative focused TTE has an
impact on high risk patients´ management when it is added to standard extended monitoring
practices in hemodynamic instabilities.
Focused TTE is en emerging matter in anesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine. The
value of intraoperative TTE is unclear. There are preliminary data that it is feasible For
intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) an impact on cardiac and non-cardiac
surgery patients´ management has been shown.
Purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of focused TTE in patients with
increased perioperative risk undergoing moderate to high risk surgery who become hemodynamic
instable during anesthesia in the operating theatre.
When hemodynamic instability under anesthesia occurs focused TTE is conducted and the
obtained diagnostic information are used for further patient management. Any change in
management or therapy will be recorded.
