Official title
ERASME ULB: Erasme Randomized Controlled Trial Surveys Hemodynamic Excursions During Esophagectomy - a Double Blind Study
Overview
In our high volume center, the majority of esophagectomy procedures are performed with minimally invasive techniques. The thoracic epidural technique remains the gold standard and homolateral paravertebral catheter is strongly recommended. The vasoplegia and sympathetic blockade due to the epidural can cause significant hypotension especially as reverse Trendelenburg position is required during surgery. The aim is to study hemodynamic changes caused by two different techniques. Previous studies found a similar pain management between both locoregional techniques, however few studies suggested less side effects in the paravertebral group during major abdominal surgeries.
Interventions
- Other Hemodynamic changes between epidural and paravertebral during esophagectomy
The thoracic epidural technique remains the gold standard for perioperative pain management for this procedure. The placement of a paravertebral catheter homolateral with the thoracic incisions is strongly recommended. A goal directed fluid therapy is proposed to guide fluid management and limit postoperative complications. Few studies suggested less side effects in the paravertebral group. The vasoplegia due to the epidural can cause significant hypotension especially as reverse Trendelenburg p
