Sponsor's own description

Maintaining adequate perfusion pressure and oxygen supply is essential for organ survival. Splanchnic hypoperfusion during the perioperative period in abdominal surgery may result in mucosal ischemia with increased permeability of the gut barrier. Additionally, the liver is also sensitive for hypoxemia and hypoperfusion, especially during liver surgery. Anesthetics (such as propofol or sevoflurane) have a cardiovascular depressant effect, resulting in a reduction of cardiac output (CO). Dobutamine is used to counteract myocardial depressant effect of anesthetics. Additionally, dobutamine is frequently used during abdominal surgery to maintain splanchnic perfusion. Dobutamine could increase hepatic blood flow (HBF) indirectly by increasing cardiac output or directly by stimulating adrenergic receptors in the splanchnic circulation. The hepatic circulation has a large number of alpha and beta adrenergic receptors and could be sensitive for adrenergic stimulation such as dobutamine. Hence, dobutamine could have a direct effect on the hepatic vasculature. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of dobutamine on hepatic blood flow during goal directed hemodynamic therapy and to distinguish between potential direct and indirect effects.
