Not Applicable
Conditions

Interventions
Drug: Intravenous colloid bolus with Voluven
Registration Number
NCT02113358
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

Fluid management during neurosurgery presents a special clinical agenda. Volume overload can have detrimental effects on intracranial pressure by increasing either cerebral blood volume or hydrostatically driven cerebral edema formation. On the other hand, an overt restrictive fluid strategy may risk hemodynamic instability.

Recently, dynamic fluid responsiveness parameters such as stroke volume variation (SVV) have been shown as a more precise parameters for fluid management including in neurosurgical patients. The threshold of SVV is reported about 10-15%. In this study, the investigators aim to using two SVV threshold to conduct intraoperative fluid therapy for craniotomy. Randomization will be generated by computer sampling. One of the two groups of patients will be managed with fluid bolus to keep intraoperative SVV \<10% presenting the "normovolemia" group. The other group of patients will be kept intraoperative SVV \<18% which is slightly above previously reported SVV threshold upper limit. The second group thus presents the "restrictive" group. Clinical outcomes, laboratory analysis including S100-B for neuronal damage and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) for acute kidney injury, will be compared.

Normovolemic group (keeping SVV<10% in supine; <15% in prone)Intravenous colloid bolus with Voluven1. The anesthesiologist will infuse Voluven (Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany) 250 ml if stroke volume variation is over 10% during the surgery to keep the normovolemia. 2. If total Voluven use is over 1500ml and then the anesthesiologist will infuse Saline 250 ml instead. 3. The maintenance of basal fluid, criteria to use inotropes (If cardiac index is below 2.5 l/min/m2 ) are the same standards in the both groups.
Restricitve group (keeping SVV < 18% in supine; <23% in prone)Intravenous colloid bolus with Voluven1. The anesthesiologist will infuse Voluven (Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany) 250 ml if stroke volume variation is over 18% during the surgery to keep the normovolemia. 2. If total Voluven use is over 1500ml and then the anesthesiologist will infuse Saline 250 ml instead. 3. The maintenance of basal fluid, criteria to use inotropes (If cardiac index is below 2.5 l/min/m2 ) are the same standards in the both groups.
