New treatment option for Urethral Perfusion Index
Official title Urethral PeRfusion Index-Guided Hemodynamic ManagemenT in Patients Having Major Abdominal Surgery: the UPRIGHT Randomized Feasibility Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06799832
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- We will perform this single-center pilot trial to determine if the intraoperative urethral perfusion index is higher in patients assigned to maintaining postinduction baseline urethral perfusion index than in patients assigned to routine care (with blinded urethral perfusion index monitoring). As pre-planned substudies, we will also assess the agreement between a) urethral perfusion index-derived pulse rate and heart rate measured with an electrocardiogram and b) between the urethral perfusion index and the peripheral perfusion index.
