Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Comparison of two strategies of reaching low central venous pressure (Low-CVP; below 5 mmHg) during liver resection surgery.
One strategy is using absolute fluid restriction (Arm 1 - intervention), the other one relative volume redistribution caused by systemic vasodilation (Arm 2 - control). Treatments in both groups will be administered by treating anaesthesiologist (member of the study team) according to the randomization during the preoperative (from morning till surgery) and intraoperative period. Treatments in both arms will be graded into predefined steps.
In the Arm 1 absolute restriction of circulating volume will be provided by reduction of preoperative fluids (neither intravenous nor oral intake 6 hours prior surgery) coupled with minimal (1ml/kg/hour, Ringerfundin solution - B´Braun) intraoperative intravenous supplementation. If needed, given the CVP value assessed by the treating anaesthesiologist, diuretics will be further administered (Furosemide 10mg intravenous per step, maximum 3 doses allowed i.e. up to three steps) to reach the low-CVP target. Participants will receive only the minimal number of steps required to reach the 5mmHg CVP target.

Comparator / control treatment
In the Arm 2 standard preoperative intravenous fluid replacement for fasting (6 hours prior surgery, 100ml/hour Plasmalyte solution - Baxter) will be provided coupled with restrictive fluid loading in the pre-resection period (2ml/kg/hour, Ringerfundin solution- B´Braun). Relative fluid redistribution using volatile anesthetics (inhaled sevoflurane in O2 + N2O mixture; 1.6 and 2 times minimal alveolar concentrations as steps 1 and 2) and continuous infusion of vasodilators (isosorbid dinitrate 0.1% 5ml/hour intravenous – step 3) will be used to decrease the central venous pressure till the end of liver resection phase. Participants will receive only the minimal number of steps required to reach the 5mmHg CVP target.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Sealed opaque envelopes
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomization be performed by random drafting of sealed envelopes containing group allocation (Intervention vs. Control; 1:1 ratio)
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s

The people assessing the outcomes
Intervention assignment
Parallel
Other design features
As the treating anesthesiologist will provide the intervention he cannot be blinded to the group allocation. All other members and hospital staff will be unaware of the group allocation (partial blinding).

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Study is designed as a hypothesis and sample size generating for further research. It is limited by study time, no calulation of minimal number of participants has been made.
The analysis will be performed using the MedCalc software (Frank Schoonjans, MedCalc Software, Broekstraat 52, 9030, Mariekerke, Belgium). The Kolmogorov –Smirnov test will be used for normality assessment. Difference in normaly distributed data will be assessed using paired or unpaired student´s t test and Mann Whitney test will be used for abnormally distributed data. For time-dependent variables, repeated measures ANOVA test or Friedman test will be performed. Categorical variables will be tested using the Chi-square test.

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to compare the effectivity of two methods of lowering central venous pressure (CVP) on the ease to reach the predefined target of CVP lower than 5 mmHg. Patients´ postoperative outcome assessed via composite morbidity (complications rate) and mortality till 30 days and hospital length of stay as well as intraoperative safety outcomes (hemodynamic stability, markers of global oxygen debt, blood loss,) will be assessed, allowing to define simple, standardized and safe approach of low-CVP anesthesia.
