A Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Standard Versus Goal-Directed Perioperative Fluid Management (GDT) for Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy
Bladder Cancer
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Bladder Cancer focused on measuring Radical Cystectomy, Perioperative Fluid Management, EV1000, 14-069
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults (21 years old or greater) who are able to provide informed consent
- Patients who undergo an open, elective radical cystectomy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with active atrial fibrillation or flutter, since the algorithm is not accurate in case of cardiac arrhythmia
- Female patients who are pregnant (female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test ≤ 14 days prior to surgery or 15 to 30 days prior to surgery with a negative urine pregnancy test the morning of surgery)
- Presence of ascites, because increased abdominal pressure interferes with EV1000 reading accuracy
- BMI > 45 or <17, because increased abdominal pressure interferes with EV1000 reading accuracy

Standard fluid management
Goal directed fluid therapy (GDT)
The non-intervention group will receive maintenance crystalloid fluid at 10cc/kg/h. Blood loss will be replaced 1:1 with albumin. Transfusion will follow transfusion criteria. Fluid management will not be dependent on the EV1000
In the GDT arm, patient's SV will be optimized before induction with crystalloid boluses prior to induction of general anesthesia. The GDT arm will have fluid therapy guided by the Edwards EV1000-clinical platform and maintenance crystalloid fluid will be 3cc/kg/h. During the surgical procedure when SVV rises above 12 an albumin bolus will be administered at 250 ml increments until the SVV falls below 8. Transfusion will follow transfusion criteria.
