Lying flat or tilted? study reveals how position changes heart function during cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT06293391
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how changing a patient's position during major abdominal cancer surgery affects their heart function and vital signs. Researchers used a non-invasive esophageal Doppler monitor to measure cardiac output in 80 patients undergoing either laparoscopic or open surgery. The goal was to see if position changes (like tilting the head down) cause significant differences in heart measurements, which could help guide fluid therapy during surgery.

Who is studied
The patients included in the study were intubated after standard anaesthesia induction with fentanyl 2 mcg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg, and ODM was used for case follow-up. All patients were followed with standard 6% desflurane anaesthetic gas and intravenous infusion of remifentanil, a short-acting opioid, after intubation. Mean arterial pressure was kept in the range of 65-80 mmHg in all patients, tidal volume was adjusted as 6-8 ml/kg, peep (positive end expiratory pressure) as 0-6 cm H2O and respiratory frequency as 10-15 /min for normocapnia. After intubation, intraoperative ODM measurements and intraoperative ODM measurements were retrospectively scanned and recorded in the supine and 45-degree angle trendelenburg position.
