Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We will perform this single-center pilot trial to determine if the intraoperative urethral perfusion index is higher in patients assigned to maintaining postinduction baseline urethral perfusion index than in patients assigned to routine care (with blinded urethral perfusion index monitoring). As pre-planned substudies, we will also assess the agreement between a) urethral perfusion index-derived pulse rate and heart rate measured with an electrocardiogram and b) between the urethral perfusion index and the peripheral perfusion index.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Routine hemodynamic management

In patients assigned to routine hemodynamic management, hemodynamic management will be performed according to routine care. The urethral perfusion index measurements will not be visible.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Urethral perfusion index guided hemodynamic monitoring

In patients assigned to urethral perfusion index-guided hemodynamic monitoring, clinicians will be asked to maintaining the intraoperative urethral perfusion index above the postinduction baseline urethral perfusion index during surgery. Interventions to maintain intraoperative urethral perfusion index will be at the clinicians' discretion. All other medical procedures will be performed according to routine care. Clinical judgement will always prevail. Additionally, we will always strive to maintain macrocirculatory variables within predefined safety ranges: Mean arterial pressure: 60 mmHg - 120 mmHg Heart rate: 30 bpm - 120 bpm Cardiac index: at least 2.2 L/min/m2
