An Assessment of Pulse Pressure Variation to Guide Fluid Therapy in Cardiac Surgery Patients

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Cardiac Surgery
Interventions
Other: IV fluid according to PPV
Other: fluids according to standard care
Registration Number
NCT01681758
Lead Sponsor
Austin Health
Brief Summary

We aim to test the hypothesis that fluid therapy based on pulse pressure variation (PPV) in patients after cardiac surgery who are mechanically ventilated leads to a significant decrease in the amount of fluid given to such patients in the first 24 hours after surgery

Detailed Description

1. The investigators will study patients after cardiac surgery

2. The investigators will collect data on standard care in pre-intervention population

3. The investigators will collect demographic and clinical data

4. The investigators will collect biochemical data in the first 24 hours after surgery

5. The investigators will collect biochemical, physiological and clinical outcome data

6. The investigators will compare the standard care and intervention period data
