Goal Directed Hemodynamic Management of Acute Heart Failure After Cardiac Surgery in Children

Goal Directed Hemodynamic Management of Acute Heart Failure After Cardiac Surgery in Children: a Prospective Randomised Trial

Goal directed therapy (GDT) utilises various monitoring techniques to assess cardiovascular performance and allows for timely interventions based on predetermined algorithms. The aim of this prospective randomised study is to evaluate the effect of GDT on major complications in children undergoing radical correction of congenital heart defects, complicated by acute heart failure. Goal directed therapy will be implemented with the aid of transpulmonary thermodilution and based on predetermined algorithms.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Goal directed therapy
Based on transpulmonary thermodilution, hemodynamic management will be implemented to achieve predefined goals

Based on transpulmonary thermodilution data, the following interventions will be implemented:

Global end diastolic volume (GEDV) ≤ 430 ml/m2 and extravascular water index (EVWI) ≤ 10 ml/kg: fluid load; GEDV ≥ 550 ml/m2 and EVWI ≥ 10 ml/kg: furosemide;

cardiac index (CI) ≤ 2 l/min/m2 - inotropic support:

  • decreased heart rate (HR): dobutamine, dopamine;
  • normal or increased HR: epinephrine, norepinephrine; CI ≥ 2 l/min/m2 and normovolemia: phenylephrine.
Active Comparator: Control
Conventional therapy
