How do we use the

Optimize outcomes 
“Goal Directed Therapy" setting a haemodynamic goal 
and fitting the patient to the goal 
“Haemodynamic Optimisation" i.e. looking at 
the patient and fitting the goal to the patient 
Who is having a specific 
operation!!!
Purpose AHDM 
• Assess circulatory performance 
• Determine if CO is consistent with keeping 
tissue O2 demand
Purpose AHDM 
To determine what components of the 
haemodynamic profile need to adjusted 
to re-establish consumption-demand 
balance

Haemodynamic truth 
Restoration of MAP may not restore 
microcirculation 
i.e. Pressure is NOT flow 
35
Pressure ≠ Flow
Haemodynamic truth 
There is no normal cardiac output 
• Adequate to meet the metabolic demands 
• Inadequate to meet metabolic demands

AHDM: Proven Outcomes 
Using a treatment protocol with haemodynamic monitoring 
(consistently) leads to improved clinical outcomes. 
BUT WHAT PROTOCOL?
Two Goal Directed Protocol 
Philosophies 
SV Max 
(Fluid First) 
Give fluid, observe response, continue to give 
fluid and other therapies until target achieved 
Haemodynamic 
Stability 
(Observe First) 
Measure deterioration of clinical condition, titrate 
therapy using a variety of parameters 
Variations: 
• Different “trigger” parameters: SVV, CO/CI, DO2, 
SvO2 / ScvO2, CVP (declining) 
• Different philosophies on degree of treatment
Typical SV-Max Protocol 
Monitor SV 
250 ml fluid over 10 minutes 
SV increase > 10% 
Yes SV decrease > 10% 
Monitor SV
BJA 2005; 5: 634-642
Haemodynamic Stability Protocol 
Is the patient haemodynamically stable? 
Do Nothing Yes No 
Is the patient preload-responsive?

Is the patient hypotensive and have reduced vasomotor tone?

Effects of vasoconstrictors on the heart 
? Raises left afterload -> decreases SV/CO 
? Releases blood from peripheral to central veins -> 
increase CVP and CO

Phenylephrine

and therefore

Preload independent

Phenylephrine 
No increase in

Conclusion 
A threshold PPV value of 16.4% allowed 
discrimination between phenylephrine-induced 
increase in SV and 
phenylephrine-induced decrease in SV 
(94% sensitivity; 100% specificity).
Stroke Volume Variation in Hepatic Resection: 
A Replacement for Standard Central Venous Pressure 
Ann Surg Oncol. 2013 Oct 23. 
Results: 40 patients: CVP of -1 to 1 correlated to a SVV of 18-21 
(R2 = 0.85, p < 0.001) 
Conclusion: SVV safely as an alternative to CVP monitoring 
equivalent outcomes.
Surgical & Anaesthesia Goals During Major Liver Resection 
Mobilisation & Control of 
inflow and outflow 
Resection Phase 
Surgical 
- Blood loss from major hepatic veins or IVC 
- Pringle manoeuvre (total inflow occlusion of PV & HA) = decrease of CO 
by 20-30% = CVS compromise 
- Total hepatic vascular occlusion (tumours close to IVC): occlusion supra 
& infrahepatic IVC & hepatic pedicle = up to 60% decrease in CO 
Anaesthesia considerations to reduce portal pressures 
• Fluid restriction 
• Reverse trendelenberg 
• Venodilatation 
• Venesection 
• Autologous normovolaemic haemodilution 
• Diuretics 
• Low CVP 
• Monitoring of CO or SvO2 to optimise oxygen delivery

“The proposed algorithm 
of DGT induced some 
patients the additional 
application of inotropes” 
Safety needs to be 
clarified?
• 22 RCT’s reporting CVS complications 
• 2129 patients 
• DGT: reduction in CVS complications 
• Subgroup analysis (supra-normal DO2 : most 
benefit from GDT 
83

“GDT better than liberal fluid therapy, but 
whether GDT is superior to a restrictive fluid 
strategy remains uncertain”
85

Concluding thoughts 
• Consensus: advanced haemodynamic monitoring is better than not 
monitoring 
• AHDM: diagnostic and haemodynamic monitoring tools: NOT 
therapeutic interventions 
• Consensus: goals are needed! 
• Approaching consensus that protocols (reproducible care practices) 
are better than no protocols, but still some dissenting opinions. 
• Individualize treatment for certain operations
