Guiding fluid management during major abdominal surgery using a new index
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new tool, the urethral perfusion index, can help doctors better manage fluids during and after major abdominal surgery. It uses standard catheters already in place, so there's no extra device needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older
- You are scheduled for a major elective abdominal surgery that will last at least 2 hours
- Your doctor plans to place an arterial line (a small tube in an artery to monitor blood pressure continuously)
- Your doctor plans to place a urinary catheter during surgery
- You have not had surgery on your urethra or bladder before

This trial compares three different approaches to guiding fluid management during major abdominal cancer surgery. The goal is to find the best way to maintain stable blood pressure and organ function during the procedure.
This study compares two ways of giving fluids to people after major abdominal surgery in the ICU. It will see if using a measure of how much blood the heart pumps (cardiac index) is better than the usual method based on vein pressure.
This trial tests a new tool that helps doctors manage fluids and blood pressure during surgery. It uses a special index (HPI) and computer-assisted fluid management to keep your blood pressure stable, which may reduce complications.
This study tests a special urinary catheter that measures pressure in your belly during heart surgery. The goal is to see if it helps protect your kidneys by tracking blood flow to them.
This study tests whether a special computer tool (called the Hypotension Prediction Index) can help anesthesiologists keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during major abdominal surgery. By using this tool, doctors hope to reduce the risk of low blood pressure during surgery and improve safety for older frail adults.
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.
