Intra-operative Hypotension and Post-operative Lactate Level After Pancreatic-duodenectomy. A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study
Intra-operative Hypotension and Post-operative Lactate Level After Pancreatic-duodenectomy. A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study
Intraoperative hypotension is a frequent occurrence during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and has been associated with impaired tissue perfusion and organ dysfunction. However, its specific relationship with early postoperative hyperlactatemia and clinical outcomes inpancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) patients remains poorly characterized.
Identifying a correlation between time-weighted average hypotension (TWA65) and postoperative lactate levels could provide valuable insights for optimizing intraoperative hemodynamic management and improving postoperative outcomes in high-risk abdominal surgery.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the association between intraoperative hypotension, defined as time-weighted average hypotension TWA65 > 0.2 mmHg, and postoperative lactate levels (>2 mmol/L at at time of arrival (RR0) and after 1 hour (RR1), as well as lactate clearance. Secondary objectives include assessing the relationship between hyperlactatemia (>4 mmol/L), impaired lactate clearance (Lacclear < 0), and the incidence of postoperative complications. The study also investigates how intraoperative factors such as fluid balance, body temperature, duration of surgery, cardiac index (CI), and cardiac power index (CPI) affect lactate levels and clearance. The primary endpoints are postoperative lactate levels and lactate clearance, while secondary endpoints include hyperlactatemia, lactate clearance deficit, and their association with clinical outcomes.
