ABSTRACT: Background
A reduced central blood volume is reflected by a decrease in mid-regional plasma pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), a stable precursor of ANP, and a volume deficit may also be assessed by the stroke volume (SV) response to head-down tilt (HDT). We determined plasma MR-proANP during major abdominal procedures and evaluated whether the patients were volume responsive by the end of the surgery, taking the fluid balance and the crystalloid/colloid ratio into account.Methods
Patients undergoing pancreatic (n = 25), liver (n = 25), or gastroesophageal (n = 38) surgery were included prospectively. Plasma MR-proANP was determined before and after surgery, and the fluid response was assessed by the SV response to 10° HDT after the procedure. The fluid
