March 30, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Caen

Perioperative Hemodynamic Optimization Using the Photoplethysmography in Colorectal Surgery : A Randomized Controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether hemodynamic optimization with photoplethysmography (ClearSight, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) during colorectal surgery could decrease the incidence of perioperative complications.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

All patients received the photoplethysmography monitoring, but the monitor was blinded in the control group.
