Advanced Goal-Directed Impedancemetry Strategy for Lung Resection Surgery

High-risk patients scheduled for lung resection surgery are increasing and theoretically eligible to perioperative individualized goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT). However, thoracic surgery is challenging for intraoperative stroke volume (SV) and/or cardiac output monitoring because it requires lateral positioning, one-lung ventilation, and open-chest condition. Pulse contour analysis and esophageal Doppler have been proposed with contrasting results, whereas dynamic indices have been shown useless for predicting fluid responsiveness in that specific setting. Besides, more invasive technologies like thermodilution are not routinely used at the bedside by careproviders. Chest bioreactance seems to be a feasible, safe, rustic, easy-to-use, and plug-and-play method to non-invasively and continuously monitor SV and cardiac output in thoracic cancer surgery patients, able to detect significant spontaneous and pharmacologically-induced changes over time. The impact of chest bioreactance on patients 'outcome remains however to be demonstrated. Indeed, the routine fluid management in patients undergoing lung resection surgery could be responsible of hypovolemia/hypoperfusion and/or hypervolemia/congestion leading to postoperative complications. The present national prospective multicenter randomized simple blind study aims to demonstrate that an individualized goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) driven by chest bioreactance improves outcomes within 30 days in lung resection surge…
