GroupInterventionDescription
PreoperativeArteriographA single measurement with an Arteriograph is performed a day before an elective surgical intervention.
IntraoperativeArteriographAn arteriograph is put on the patient for the time of operation. The device is set to measure in every 5 minutes.
Intensive Care UnitArteriographThree separate measurements are performed on the subject with an Arteriograph throughout every dayshift for 3 days.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation between systemic vascular resistance and aortic augmentation indexOne year
Identity of cardiac output given by the PiCCO monitor and cardiac output given by the ArteriographOne year
Number and degree of hypotensive episodes predicted by preoperative values of pulse wave velocity.One year

The investigators will examine if high values of pulse wave velocity correlate with the frequency and severity of hypotensive episodes under anaesthesia.
