Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The TVC has been proposed as novel hemodynamic test to assess fluid responsiveness in ICU patients. TVC consists in the transient increase of Tidal Volume from 6ml/kg to 8ml/kg for 1 minute. The TVC-related changes of stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) are highly predictive of fluid responsiveness. The aim of the present study is to assess TVC reliability in a population of neurosurgical patients scheduled for prone or supine surgery.
Brief description of TVC:
1) TVC is a transient increase in the Tidal Volume used to ventilate the patient from 6 to 8 ml/kg of predicted body weight
2) The duration is 1 minute
3) The attending anesthetist will modify the setting of the ventilation in operating room
4) The decision of administer fluids because of transient hypotension (defined as a reduction of >20% of systolic blood pressure recorded at the beginning of the operation) is the indication to perform first the TVC
5) Only the first fluid challenge will be recorded. The frequency of administration will be decided by the attending anesthetist according to the occurrence of hemodynamic instability, for the entire duration of the operation.

The end-expiratory occlusion test is a hemodynamic test aiming to assess fluid responsiveness by means of a interruption of mechanical ventilation. In order to compare TVC with EEO, the EEO will be also performed in all the patients at predefined time points (before and after TVC, when the patient is ventilated with 6ml/kg and 8 lm/kg respectively).

Other design features
Phase
Type of endpoint/s
Statistical methods / analysis
A diagnostic test is considered to have good accuracy when its area under the ROC curve is at least 0.75 (Ray P, Le Manach Y, Riou B, Houle TT. Statistical evaluation of a biomarker. Anesthesiology. 2010;112:1023–40. 16.)
Thirty eight patients are necessary to show an area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve greater than or equal to 0.75 (type I error of 5% and type II error of 20%).

Summary
Brief summary
TVC has never been tested in surgical populations. We aim to perform a clinical study to assess TVC reliability in prone and supine surgical patients.
The TVC has been proposed as novel hemodynamic test to assess fluid responsiveness in ICU patients. TVC consists in the transient increase of Tidal Volume from 6ml/kg to 8ml/kg for 1 minute. The TVC-related changes of stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) are highly predictive of fluid responsiveness. The aim of the present study is to assess TVC reliability in a population of neurosurgical patients scheduled for prone or supine surgery. The secondary aim is to compare TVC with another hemodynamic test, already successfully tested in operating room: the end-expiratory occlusion test.
