What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on the real-time monitoring of microcirculation and glycocalyx in patients undergoing major abdominal surgeries, such as cytoreduction surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and cephalic duodenopancreatectomy. Using the non-invasive GlycoCheck™ micro-camera, the study aims to enhance the understanding of microcirculatory dynamics, which could improve anesthesia and resuscitation strategies. By analyzing sublingual microcirculation, the research seeks to provide insights that go beyond traditional macro-circulatory parameters.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients under 75 years old undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy or cephalic duodenopancreatectomy for specific conditions.

Not a fit: Patients with secondary distant peritoneal metastases, chronic organ failures, or those with injuries affecting sublingual microcirculation may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved patient outcomes by optimizing anesthesia and resuscitation techniques during major abdominal surgeries.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of monitoring microcirculation is gaining interest, this specific application using the GlycoCheck™ device is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
