Role of Goal Directed Fluid Therapy in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Gastro-intestinal Oncosurgeries

For the proposed study investigators plan to include total 60 patients with 30 each allotted to GDFT(SVV) and CVP Group ,belonging to ASA ( American Society of Anesthesiology)Grade I/II/III, study will be conducted after obtaining written informed consent from all patients and approval from the scientific committee and Institutional Review Board (IRB). All patients will receive one-third starvation fluid as crystalloid during first hour of surgery . Night prior to and on the day of surgery carbo load will be given to all patients according to the protocol.Monitoring included 5 lead ECG SPO2,ETCO2, Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP - Radial),CVP(site IJV),core Temperature .

Standard General anaesthesia with oral Endotracheal tube and Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation will be given to all patients.Patients will be allotted randomly to either Goal Directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT) /SVV - Stroke Volume Variation or Conventional Central Venous Pressure - CVP guided fluid Therapy Group.

During the surgery - Heart rate , Mean arterial Blood Pressure , Urine output , Blood loss , Seum lactate levels will be noted.

For SVV Group - SVV , Stroke Volume Index (SVI) , Systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) ,Cardiac Index (CI) values will be noted every 30 minutes- the goal is to maintain SVV value >11 and to give colloid bolus 200ml whenever SVV values rise above11.Pre and post bolus SVV, SV, SVI and SVRI shall be recorded.

For CVP Group - Goal is to maintain CVP values between 8-12 cmsH20 and for decrease in value < 8 colloid bolus of 200ml will be given and change in CVP value will be noted.

Patients in both the groups will receive Noradrenaline infusion if MAP <70 mmHg with optimal fluid transfusion .Target for transfusing Packed red blood cells will be value of haematocrit < 24 Postoperative HR, MAP, I/O-charting, Serum Creatinine, Serum Lactate, bowel sounds, Inotrope requirement, Visual Analogue Score, Ryles Tube Feeds, Epidural analgesia ,Length of stay (hours in SICU) and any postoperative complications shall be noted.
