MAP- Versus Cardiac Index-Guided Hemodynamic Management in Whipple Surgery

This prospective randomized study aims to compare the effects of two intraoperative hemodynamic management strategies on early postoperative renal function in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients will be allocated to either mean arterial pressure-guided hemodynamic management or cardiac index-guided hemodynamic management during surgery. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major abdominal surgical procedure associated with prolonged operative duration, considerable fluid shifts, blood loss, and hemodynamic instability. These factors may contribute to impaired renal perfusion and postoperative renal dysfunction. Although mean arterial pressure is commonly used to guide intraoperative hemodynamic management, blood pressure alone may not fully reflect systemic blood flow or tissue perfusion. Cardiac index-guided management may provide a more direct assessment of global circulator
