Norepinephrine in the Management of General Anesthesia-Induced Arterial Hypotension in Chronic Heart Failure Patients
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
Arterial hypotension is a frequent complication of general anesthesia and a significant contributor to postoperative complications. It is a critical marker for the development of acute renal failure and postoperative myocardial infarction. Chronic heart failure (CHF) patients are increasingly encountered in the operating room, and their perioperative morbidity and mortality are substantial, with specific management lacking precise recommendations. The main objective is to assess the impact of a diluted norepinephrine bolus on cardiac output in chronic heart failure patients experiencing arterial hypotension after anesthesia induction.

Cardiac output monitoring by the Starling™ SV Sebac®
During the surgery, the channels and monitoring equipment will be set up according to the usual procedure in the vascular surgery department. As part of the research, the Starling™ SV Sebac® electrodes will be installed (to measure cardiac flow, cardiac index (CI), stroke volume (VES), variations in stroke volume (VVES), and peripheral resistors (TPRI)). Once the equipment is in place, anesthetic induction will be carried out according to the usual protocol with curarization and mechanical ventilation. If the appearance of arterial hypotension is noted after anesthetic induction and mechanical ventilation, the patient will be definitively included in the study. As recommended, he will receive norepinephrine to treat hypotension. The measurements from the monitoring will be collected at 3, 5, and 10 min after the administration of norepinephrine. 10 days after admission to the operating room, hospitalization data will be collected.
