Summary
The Nexfin monitoring system offers a complete non-invasive approach to a continuously
estimation of blood pressure, CI and PPV by means of finger-cuff based pulse contour
analysis. Several clinical investigations have proven reliability and interchangeability of
the Nexfin technology yielding acceptable results especially regarding the trending
abilities. At present there is no evidence available, whether a early goal directed
hemodynamic optimization protocol based on a completely non-invasive monitoring technology is
able to reduce postoperative complication. Therefore, the aim of this single-center study is
to compare the clinical outcome and postoperative complications of patients undergoing major
colorectal surgery treated with standard of care or with a GDT protocol based on the Nexfin
technology.
