Personalized Versus Protocolized Fluid Management Using Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring (Clearsight System) in Patients Undergoing Moderate-Risk Abdominal Surgery.

Advances in noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring systems allow delivery of goal-directed fluid therapy and could therefore be used in less-invasive surgical procedures. In this randomized controlled trial, we compared closed-loop-assisted goal-directed fluid therapy using a noninvasive cardiac output (Clearsight system) monitor (personalized approach) to a protocolized fluid therapy approach in 40 patients undergoing moderate-risk laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Cardiac output and stroke volume variations were not significantly different in both groups and remained within predefined target values >90% of the study time. Personalized fluid therapy does not seem to offer any hemodynamic advantage over a protocolized approach in this population.
