Perioperative hemodynamic optimization - Paediatrics

Résumé fourni par la source

OBJECTIVE: The Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR) (French Society for Anaesthesia and Intensive Care) is proposing a set of guidelines for perioperative hemodynamic optimisation. DESIGN: A committee of 27 experts, including 3 paediatric experts, was set up. Policy of declaring and monitoring links of interest was applied and respected throughout the process of producing the guidelines. Similarly, no funding was received from any company marketing a healthcare product (drug or medical device). The committee had to follow respectfully the GRADE® (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) method to assess the quality of the evidence on which the guidelines were based. METHODS: The latest SFAR guidelines on perioperative vascular filling strategy were published in 2012. The experts planned to update these guidelines after analysing the literature using GRADE® methodology, identifying four major fields: arterial pressure, systolic ejection volume and dynamic indices, tissue perfusion indices, volume expansion (excluding transfusion) and/or vasopressors and/or inotropes. Each question was formulated according to the PICO (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) format. Due to the very small number of studies that could provide the necessary power to answer the most important major judgement criterion, it was decided, prior to drafting the guidelines, to adopt a Professional Practice Guidelines format rather than a Formalized Guidelines from Experts format. The guidelines were then voted on by all the experts using the GRADE grid method. RESULTS: The summary work of experts and the application of the GRADE method resulted in nine guidelines concerning perioperative hemodynamic optimization in paediatrics. Strong agreement was reached on each of these nine guidelines. Finally, for four questions, no recommendation could be formulated. CONCLUSION: Nine guidelines, with a high degree of agreement between experts, on perioperative hemodynamic optimization have been formulated.
