About this trial

Intraoperative hypotension is a common situation. It increases postoperative morbidity and mortality, especially in patients at high postoperative risk undergoing high-risk surgery. Intraoperative hypotension is partly related to anesthesia, and mainly to the combined, dose-dependent, synergistic effect of hypnotics and opioids. Monitoring sedation and monitoring analgesia reduce intraoperative consumption of each anesthetic agent. To date, the beneficial effect of combined sedation and analgesia monitoring on the reduction of intraoperative hypotension has only been found in one study, involving major abdominal surgery. Up to now, no study has been designed to demonstrate the benefit of monitoring the two components of anesthesia on postoperative organ dysfunction and mortality.

The study propose to evaluate the relevance of a combined optimization of hypnotic and opioid agents on the most frequently encountered dysfunctions related to intraoperative hypotension.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • anesthesia guided by sedation and analgesia monitoring

    Procedure/Surgery

    Anesthesia guided by sedation and analgesia monitoring The level of sedation will be monitored by * Monitoring System BIS™ : Bispectral index (BIS) between 45 and 60 AND Suppression Ratio (SR) at 0; * or SedLine® Sedation Monitor : Patient State Index (PSi) between 25 and 50; * or Entropy Sensor™: State entropy (SE) between 45 and 60 AND Burst Suppression Ratio (BSR) at 0; and the level of nociception by : * Nociception monitor PMD-200® : Nociception Level (NoL) between 10 and 25.

  • anesthesia performed according only to the clinical judgment of the anesthetist as usual practice

    Procedure/Surgery

    Administration of anesthesia will be performed according to the clinical judgment of the anesthetist as usual practice without sedation and analgesia monitoring

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

death

Time frame
Day 30
2

Postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI)

The PO-AKI will be defined as an increase to 1.5 times the reference level, or as more than 0.3 mg.dl-1 (i.e. 26.5 µmol.l-1) between the last preoperative value and the maximal value observed after surgery, or urine volume \< 0.5 ml.kg-1.h-1 for 6 hours, according to the recommendations of the Acute Kidney Injury Network

Time frame
Day 30
3

cardiovascular complication

postoperative myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, acute/non pre-existing atrial fibrillation or flutter, cardiac arrest with successful resuscitation, coronary revascularisation

Time frame
Day 30
4

neurological complication

Stroke or transient ischemic attack

Time frame
Day 30

Secondary outcomes

1

doses of hypnotics administered

Time frame
during surgery
2

doses opioids administered;

Time frame
during surgery
3

number and duration of hypotensive periods

an hypotensive event will be defined as a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) ≤ 65 mmHg.

Time frame
during surgery
4

time spent within the desired range of sedation:

Monitoring System BIS™ : Bispectral index (BIS) between 45 and 60 AND Suppression Ratio (SR) at 0 or SedLine® Sedation Monitor : Patient State Index (PSI) between 25 and 50 AND Suppression Ratio (SR) at 0 or Entropy Sensor™: State entropy (SE) between 45 and 60 AND Burst Suppression Ratio (BSR) at 0 The anesthetist will have access to the value of sedation monitoring in the "intervention" group; these data will be recorded but not available to the anesthetist in the "control" group: they will be analyzed at the end of the study to answer this point.
