Perioperative Personalized Blood Pressure Management

The investigators propose a pilot trial to (1) proof the concept that defining the intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) intervention threshold based on the mean nighttime MAP (assessed using preoperative automated blood pressure monitoring) results in clinically relevant (mean nighttime MAP ± 10 mmHg) different target values compared with using an absolute population-derived MAP intervention threshold of 65 mmHg (primary endpoint); (2) investigate if a personalized perioperative blood pressure management is feasibly in multi-center studies, especially if the target values can be sufficiently achieved (secondary endpoint); (3) study the impact of personalized perioperative blood pressure management on the incidence of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) (exploratory endpoint); (4) study the impact of personalized perioperative blood pressure management on the incidence of acute kidney injury within the first three postoperative days according to the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) definition without oliguric criteria (exploratory endpoint).

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 45
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class (ASA) II-IV

  • surgery expected to last ≥ 120 minutes

Exclusion criteria

  • emergency surgery

  • laparoscopic surgery
  • pregnancy
  • status of post transplantation of kidney, liver, heart, or lung
  • sepsis (according to current Sepsis-3 definition)
  • impossibility of preoperative automated blood pressure monitoring
  • MAP differences between the right and the left arm of more than 20 mmHg surgery that requires controlled hypotension

Treatment and study plan

Personalized management

Other

Intraoperative MAP will be maintained at least at the mean nighttime MAP (assessed using preoperative automated blood pressure monitoring). If the mean nighttime MAP is below 65 mmHg, intraoperative MAP will be maintained at least at 65 mmHg.

Primary outcomes

  1. Individualized MAP target value

    Time frame: 1 day before surgery

    Difference between intraoperative target MAP (defined as the mean nighttime MAP assessed using preoperative automated blood pressure monitoring) and 65 mmHg; we consider a difference > ± 10 mmHg as clinically meaningful.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients with calculated MAP target

    Time frame: day of surgery

    • proportion of patients in whom preoperative automated blood pressure monitoring + calculation of target MAP is possible
  2. Duration and severity of MAP below MAP target

    Time frame: day of surgery

    • time weighted average MAP below individual MAP target

Other outcomes

  1. Incidence of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery

    Time frame: baseline, postoperative days 1, 2 and 3

    Incidence of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery assessed through measurement of baseline high-sensitivity troponin T (before surgery) and high-sensitivity troponin T on postoperative days 1,2, and 3.

  2. Incidence of acute kidney injury

    Time frame: baseline, postoperative day 1, 2 and 3

    Incidence of acute kidney injury within the first three postoperative days according to the KDIGO definition without oliguric criteria assessed through measurement of baseline creatinine (before surgery) and creatinine after surgery on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3.
