Should not yet change practice in noncardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating for goal-directed haemodynamic algorithms pending randomized confirmation.
Does a goal-directed haemodynamic management algorithm improve clinical outcomes and reduce hospital stay in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Implementation of a standardized goal-directed haemodynamic management algorithm in noncardiac surgery is feasible and may improve clinical outcomes and reduce resource utilization.
Feldheiser et al. (2012) studied noncardiac surgery. goal-directed haemodynamic management algorithm vs. conventional haemodynamic management was evaluated on length of hospital stay, requirement for ventilation and incidence of prolonged hospital stay. A goal-directed haemodynamic management algorithm significantly reduced length of hospital stay, ventilation requirement, and hospital costs in noncardiac surgery compared with conventional management.
