HEMODADRE: Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability During Unilateral Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the adrenal gland that develop from cells producing adrenaline and noradrenaline. Consequently, intraoperative blood pressure variations (hypertensive and hypotensive episodes) are characteristic of pheochromocytoma surgery, when these tumors are removed. However, recommendations for the management of these tumors are based on data essentially dating from the 1960s-1990s. Since then, anesthesia and surgery for patients with pheochromocytoma have evolved considerably, and have become more effective with time. In these circumstances, a review of the current situation is necessary. The aim of this study is to investigate the intraoperative hemodynamic changes observed in patients undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma, comparing them with the hemodynamic profile observed in patients undergoing adrenal surgery for a pathology other than pheochromocytoma (control group).

Detailed Description
Each patient included in this study underwent unilateral adrenalectomy for adrenal pathology during the inclusion period. For each patient included, intraoperative hemodynamic data were collected every 20 seconds by the monitoring system used by the anesthesia team (VitalSignsCapture v1.004 program via RS232 port). For each patient, the HI score (a clinical tool validated in two previously published articles) was calculated for the intraoperative period (time between induction of anesthesia and patient discharge from the operating room). This enabled a comparison to be made between patients operated on for pheochromocytoma (30 patients) and patients operated on for a cause other than pheochromocytoma (30 patients).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Hemodynamic instability score [during surgery (from induction of the patient under general anesthesia to discharge from the operating room)]
The haemodynamic instability score was calculated as a weighted continuous measure ranging from 0 to 160 points. This score appropriately quantifies deviations of blood pressure and heart rate from predefined thresholds, and infusion rates of vasoactive agents and fluids. Zero corresponds to the absence of peroperative hemodynamic changes and 160 to the maximum possible peroperative hemodynamic changes.
