Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To assess the effect of dobutamine on hepatic blood flow and caval & portal vein pressures during goal-directed hemodynamic therapy in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effects of dobutamine on systemic hemodynamics (CI, HR, SAP, DAP, MAP, CVP, SVV, PPV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), SVRI, dPmx and portal venous resistance (PVR), cardiac index (CI), during goal-directed hemodynamic therapy in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. ;Primary end point(s): Changes in portal and arterial HBF during goal-directed hemodynamic therapy. <br>Changes in portal vein and caval vein pressures before and after dobutamine infusion. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: T1 - baseline measurements without inotropic support<br>T2 - Dobutamine infusion at 2 mcg/kg/min<br>T3 - After minimum 10 minutes, infusion will be set at 5 mcg/kg/min<br>T4 - final hepatic blood flow will be recorded
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): The evaluation of the effect of dobutamine on systemic hemodynamic measurements (CI, HR, SAP, DAP, MAP, CVP, SVV, PPV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), SVRI, dPmx and portal venous resistance (PVR).<br>The effect of dobutamine on hemodynamic data (HR, SAP, DAP, MAP, CI, PPV, SVV, CVP). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: T0 – start surgery.<br>T1 – after pancreaticoduodenectomy, at baseline without dobutamine infusion.<br>T3 – after minimum 10 minutes of infusion of dobutamine at 2 mcg/kg/min, before raising dobutamine infusion to 5 mcg/kg/min <br>T2 through T4 – a measurement will be made every minute (together with the hepatic blood flow measurements)<br>T4 – before surgical reconstruction, after minimum 10 minutes of infusion of dobutamine at 5 mcg/kg/min.<br>T5 – end of surgery.<br><br>
