AbstractBackground: The goal directed hemodynamic therapy is an approach focused on the use ofcardiac output and related parameters as end-points for fluids and drugs to optimize tissueperfusion and oxygen delivery. Primary aim: To determine the effects of intraoperative goaldirected hemodynamic therapy on postoperative complications rates.Methods: A meta-analysis was carried out of the effects of goal directed hemodynamic ther-apy in adult noncardiac surgery on postoperative complications and mortality using PreferredReporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology. A systematic searchwas performed in Medline PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library (last update, October2014). Inclusion criteria were randomized clinical trials in which intraoperative goal directedhemodynamic therapy was compared to conventional fluid management in noncardiac surgery.Exclusion criteria were trauma and pediatric surgery studies and that using pulmonary artery
catheter. End-points were postoperative complications (primary) and mortality (secondary).he entry criteria were examined in full and subjected to quantifiableup analysis (stratified by type of monitor, therapy, and hemodynamictivity analysis.

Results: 51 RCTs were initially identified, 24 fulfilling the inclusion criteria. 5 randomized clin-ical trials were added by manual search, resulting in 29 randomized clinical trials in the finalanalysis, including 2654 patients. A significant reduction in complications for goal directedhemodynamic therapy was observed (RR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.62---0.79, p < 0.001). No significantdecrease in mortality was achieved (RR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.45---1.28, p = 0.30). Quality sensitiveanalyses confirmed the main overall results.Conclusions: Intraoperative goal directed hemodynamic therapy with minimally invasive mon-itoring decreases postoperative complications in noncardiac surgery, although it was not ableto show a significant decrease in mortality rate.© 2015 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.

Terapia hemodinâmica alvo-dirigida no intraoperatório de cirurgia não cardíaca:revisão sistemática e meta-análise
ResumoJustificativa: A terapia hemodinâmica alvo-dirigida (THAD) é uma abordagem focada no uso dodébito cardíaco (DC) e parâmetros relacionados, como desfechos para fluidos e medicamentospara otimizar a perfusão tecidual e o fornecimento de oxigênio. Objetivo primário: determinaros efeitos da THAD sobre as taxas de complicacões no pós-operatório.Métodos: Meta-análise dos efeitos da THAD em cirurgias não cardíacas de adultos sobre ascomplicacões pós-operatórias e mortalidade, usando a metodologia PRISMA. Uma busca sis-temática foi realizada no Medline PubMed, Embase e Biblioteca Cochrane (última atualizacão,outubro de 2014). Os critérios de inclusão foram estudos clínicos randômicos (ECRs) nosquais a THAD no intraoperatório foi comparada com a terapia convencional de reposicão delíquidos em cirurgia não cardíaca. Os critérios de exclusão foram traumatismo e estudos decirurgia pediátrica e aqueles usando cateter de artéria pulmonar. Os desfechos, primário esecundário, foram complicacões pós-operatórias e mortalidade, respectivamente. Os estudosque atenderam aos critérios de inclusão foram examinados na íntegra e submetidos à análisequantitativa, análise de subgrupo pré-definido (estratificada por tipo de monitor, terapia eobjetivo hemodinâmico) e análise de sensibilidade pré-definida.Resultados: 51 ECRs foram identificados inicialmente, 24 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão.Cinco ECRs foram adicionados por busca manual, resultando em 29 ECRs para análise final,incluindo 2.654 pacientes. Uma reducão significativa das complicacões para a THAD (RR: 0,70,IC de 95%: 0,62-0,79, p < 0,001). Nenhuma diminuicão significativa na mortalidade foi observada(RR: 0,76, IC de 95%: 0,45-1,28, p = 0,30). Análises de sensibilidade qualitativa confirmaram osprincipais resultados gerais.Conclusões: THAD no intraoperatório com monitoracão minimamente invasiva diminui ascomplicacões no pós-operatório de cirurgia não cardíaca, embora não tenha mostrado umareducão significativa da taxa de mortalidade.© 2015 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.

ntroduction
he perioperative management of high-risk surgical patientsontinues to be a challenge for the anesthesiologists.espite advances in perioperative management, the inci-ence of serious complications after major surgery remainsigh.1,2 A decrease in perioperative oxygen transport is
losely related to the development of organ failure andeath.3 It has also been demonstrated that a large high-riskurgical population accounts for 12.5% of surgical proce-ures and for more than 80% of deaths.4 Surgical patientsaoac
an be classified as high risk based on surgical factors oratient-related factors.5 Goal directed hemodynamic ther-py (GDHT) is based on the optimization of preload with these of algorithms based on fluids, inotropes and/or vasopres-ors to achieve a certain goal in stroke volume (SV), cardiacndex (CI), or oxygen delivery (DO2). The ultimate goal of thisptimization is to avoid fluid overload, tissue hypoperfusion,

ignored, with regard to type of surgery, patient’s character-istics, therapeutic goals, methods for achieving these goalsand monitoring. The pulmonary arterial catheter (PAC) hasbeen considered to be the ‘‘gold standard’’ for monitor-ing preload, afterload, contractility, and tissue oxygenation.The invasiveness and high rate of complications associatedwith this device render it as unsuitable for routine use inmost cases. The use of minimally invasive monitoring hasgained popularity in the past few years; these devices havebeen validated intraoperatively. Currently PAC is not rec-ommended in most surgeries, and for this reason it was notanalyzed in this meta-analysis. There are no data to supportthe practice of using central venous pressure to guide fluidtherapy,7 therefore, central venous pressure-guided fluidtherapy was not included in analysis.
Yet there are no studies in which different algorithmsor different objectives are compared. The best method forassessing tissue oxygenation and intravascular volume hasnot yet been defined. The present review was designed toupdate the published evidence and determine the effective-ness of intraoperative GDHT with regard to complicationsand mortality with different types of algorithms and moni-tors used.
Material and methods
Selection criteria
The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews andMeta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology8 was used to identifythe studies, based on the following inclusion criteria:
1. Participants: Adult patients (over 18 years) undergoingelective noncardiac surgery were included. The studieswere not limited in terms of surgical risk.
2. Types of intervention: Intraoperative goal directedhemodynamic therapy: defined as hemodynamic moni-toring that allows to perform a hemodynamic optimiza-tion algorithm based on the use of fluids, inotropesand/or vasopressors to achieve normal or supranormalhemodynamic values. GDHT guided by pulmonary arterycatheter, transesophageal echocardiography or centralvenous pressure-guided GDHT were excluded.
3. Types of comparison: The studies that were selectedfor analysis included those that compared GDHT withconventional fluid management (monitoring of bloodpressure, electrocardiogram, heart rate, urine outputand/or central venous pressure).
4. Results: RCTs reporting any of the following outcomes:postoperative complications and/or mortality.
5. Types of studies: RCTs where intraoperative GDHT wasperformed in adult patients scheduled for noncardiacmajor surgery. Only peer-reviewed manuscripts wereincluded.
Sources of information
Following the PRISMA protocol8 different search strategies(last updated in October 2014) were used to iden-tify relevant studies that met inclusion criteria usingEMBASE, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library. There were no

estrictions on the publication date or language. In addi-ion to electronic searching, industry representatives wereontacted for additional material. All identified review arti-les and evidence-based guidelines were hand-searched fordditional references.
earch itemshe search was conducted using the following key words:urgery, fluid, goal directed, end point, hemodynamic, tar-et, goal and randomized controlled trial.
tudy selection and data extraction
wo independent investigators assessed each title andbstract in order to discard any irrelevant RCTs and identifyhose potentially relevant. These RCTs were analyzed select-ng those that met the inclusion criteria outlined above.CT data extraction was performed by two different inves-igators and any discrepancy required further analysis andonfirmation by a third investigator. The authors reviewedhe data analysis in order to avoid errors in data transcrip-ion.
ssessment of risk of bias in included studies
ias assessment risk was performed using the Cochrane riskf bias tool. From this tool, we used seven domains to assesshe methodological quality of the studies included in thenalysis.
utcome variableshe primary outcome was the overall postoperativeomplications. The results were stratified according to theollowing variables: monitor utilized, therapy used to reach
hemodynamic goal and the hemodynamic goal. For theredefined subgroup analysis, studies were grouped:
1) Monitor: (a) Arterial pulse contour analysis methods(Vigileo/Flotrac®, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation,USA; ProAQT®, Pulsion medical systems SE, Germany;LiDCO Plus®, LiDCO Ltd., UK); (b) oesophageal DopplerMonitoring-ODM (CardioQ®, Deltex Medical, UK); (c)noninvasive methods (Masimo®, Masimo Corporation;CNAP® PPV, CNSystems Medizintechnik AG) and (d)measures of oxygen delivery and extraction methods.
2) Therapy: (a) Fluids; (b) fluids and inotropes; (c)vasopressors and fluids and (4) fluids, inotropes andvasopressors.
3) Hemodynamic goals: (a) SV maximization; (b)CI > 2.5 mL/min/m2; (c) preload responsiveness (includ-ing stroke volume variation, Pulse pressure variationand Pleth Variability Index®) and (d) ScvO2.
The secondary outcome was mortality.

Results
Study selection
There were 14,160 references in electronic databases, ofwhich 1003 were screened. Of those, 55 RCTs were analyzedand 24 of them were included for systematic review andmeta-analysis, excluding those who did not meet the inclu-sion criteria. Finally a total of 29 RCTs were included9---37;5 RCTs were added by manual search. 2654 patients wereincluded. Fig. 1 shows the flowchart used for item selection.
Assessment of risk of bias in individual studies
Bias risk was analyzed with the Cochrane tool. This was per-formed by two authors independently and we resolved anydisparity by discussion and the involvement of a third per-son. We present the methodological quality in a summarytable and a graph (Figs. 2 and 3).
Characteristics of the studies included in theanalysis
The selected articles describe the results of RCTs that eval-uated the use of intraoperative GDHT in noncardiac electivesurgery, and that included postoperative complicationsand/or mortality as outcome. The characteristics of theincluded RCTs are shown in Table 1.
Primary results
1. Total complicationsAnalyzing the 29 RCTs, 26 describe the total associated
complications10---37 GDHT was associated with a significantreduction in overall complication compared with patientstreated in the control group (RR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.62---0.79,p < 0.001) (Fig. 4).
2. Complications by monitorA significant decrease in complications was found in
subgroup based on pulse contour analysis (RR: 0.78, 95%CI: 0.59---0.99, p = 0.04) and subgroup ODM (RR: 0.67, 95%CI: 0.53---0.85, p < 0.001). However, it was not shown inthe subgroup of noninvasive monitoring (RR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.28---1.15, p = 0.12) and was based on measures ofoxygen delivery and extraction methods (RR: 0.59, 95%CI: 0.20---1.80, p = 0.36) (Fig. 5).
3. Complications by hemodynamic therapyA significant decrease in complications was observed
in the fluids as monotherapy subgroup (RR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.57---0.84, p < 0.001), fluids and vasopressors sub-group (RR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.68---0.85, p < 0.001), and fluids,vasopressors and inotropes subgroup (RR: 0.54, 95% CI:0.32---0.89, p = 0.02). However, the use of fluids andinotropes showed no decrease in complications (RR. 0.66,95% CI: 0.34---1.28, p = 0.22) (Fig. 6).
4. Complications by hemodynamic goal
A decrease in complications was associated with theuse of GDHT in the following subgroups: Svmaximization(RR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.61---0.89, p < 0.001), in the subgrouppreload responsiveness (RR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.59---0.95),

Discussion
Numerous studies have reported differences betweentechnologies, especially in their response to typical sur-gical interventions such as fluid and vasoactive drugadministration.38 The results obtained with one type ofmonitoring cannot be extrapolated to those obtained withother monitors.39 RCTs using noninvasive monitors werelimited both in number of patients studied and meth-odological quality. How minimal invasive cardiac outputmonitoring techniques can be used to guide individ-ualized fluid management40 needs to be sustained byvalidation studies that adhere to the proposed methodologi-cal considerations41 as well as large-scale clinical outcomestudies.
There is some evidence that SV maximization strategiescould be harmful in aerobically fit patients by lead-ing to volume overload,25 and recent evidence suggests
that this goal does not provide the benefits previouslydescribed.42However, the results of our meta-analysis show thatthis hemodynamic goal remains valid. The use of dynamic

esponse parameters to volume may decrease the risk of vol-me overload. A CI > 2.5 mL/min/m2 as hemodynamic targetithin algorithms in which fluids, vasopressors and inotropesre used avoid the risk of hypotension due to decreasedasomotor tone. The use of inotropes increases the CO inituations where the patient is nonresponsive to the volumend does not present a reduced vasomotor tone. Inotropicupport with dobutamine can result in changes in microvas-ular flow related to direct effects on the microcirculations well as global CO.43 With the exception of ScvO2, thatas only evaluated in one RCT,19 and was not associatedith better outcomes, this meta-analysis has not been able
o detect significant differences between subgroups. There-ore it seems reasonable to adapt GDHT to risk patient,ype of surgery as well as its duration44 as recommendedy recent European Society of Anaesthesiology guidelines.45
multicenter observational trial in patients with intra-bdominal surgery found that low ScvO2 was associated withn increased risk of postoperative complications in high-riskurgery. In this trial, the optimal value of mean ScvO2 toiscriminate between patients who did or did not developomplications was 73% (sensitivity 72%, specificity 61%)46
ne of the major limitations of venous oximetry is that,s a global marker of demand-supply balance, it does noteflect organ-specific malperfusion. Whether ScvO2 moni-
oring improves outcomes in surgical patients remains to beroven in large RCTs.Unlike our results, a recent meta-analysis has shown aignificant benefit of GDHT in patients receiving fluids and

nd remains part of the scientific record at the time weearched the literature. To verify potential biases in ouresults, both the primary and the secondary outcome weree-examined without including the Mayer et al.22 manuscriptnd no differences were found.
Many trials were single center trials and only one hasnvestigated more than 100 patients per group.19 Differencesn methodological quality may cause heterogeneity. Smallertudies tend to be conducted and analyzed with less method-logical rigor than larger studies, and trials of lower qualitylso tend to show larger intervention effects.
The major limitation of our analysis is that overallomplications were analyzed, regardless of the severity ofhese and their impact on length of stay and/or mortal-ty. Furthermore, the use of different surgical interventions,ifferent monitoring systems and algorithms adds more het-rogeneity to the analysis. Thus, study heterogeneity mayeduce the precision of treatment effect estimates andeduce the generalizability of the results of this meta-nalysis.
The present meta-analysis is based on studies thatescribe the incidence of postoperative complications. Itas to be recognized that the reporting of complications isot consistent and that the definitions used can differ inype, definition and importance between studies, limiting
he applicability of some of our findings.Furthermore, and unlike previous meta-analysis, theresent meta-analysis conducted a global analysis of total

onclusions
he results of this meta-analysis show that the usef intraoperative GDHT with minimally invasive monitor-ng decreases postoperative complications in noncardiacurgery, although it was not possible to show a significantecrease in mortality rate. ScvO2 monitoring was not ableo decrease the frequency of complications.
