Hemodynamic goals | Avoid | Monitor | Intervention |
Normal to fast HR (80 to 100 bpm) | Avoid bradycardia | 5-lead ECG Pulse oximetry with visible waveform | Management of bradycardia:
|
Normal to low afterload | Avoid hypertension | Intra-arterial BP | Prevent hypertension by providing adequate anesthetic depth and effective analgesia. Treat hypotension with careful titration of ephedrine. |
Normal to low preload | Avoid hypervolemia | Assess clinical response to small fluid boluses | Restrictive fluid management. Intravenous nitroglycerin infusion for volume overload. |
Maintain contractility | Avoid doses of drugs that cause significant myocardial depression | Hemodynamics | If inotropic support is needed, milrinone, dobutamine, or low-dose epinephrine is preferred. |
