Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  conventional fluid therapy group  In conventional group, Normal saline (0.9%) will be administered as a maintenance fluid, to maintain CVP between 6 and 8 mmHg and a urine output of ≥0.5 ml/kg/h. In case of hypotension, administration of colloids (6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4), vasoactive agents (ephedrine, norepinephrine) and inotropes (dobutamine) will be as per the discretion of the attending neuroanesthesiologist.  
Intervention  Goal directed hemodynamic therapy group  In GDHT Group, intraoperative fluids therapy will be based on ICON (non invasive cardiac output monitor) parameters. A protocolized approach will be followed, based on the following hemodynamic indices (by ICON non invasive cardio meter). Patients with an SVV more than 13 or FTC less than normal for their range [based on patient’s body mass index (BMI)] will be considered as fluid responders, and will be given upto three boluses of Normal saline (0.9%) boluses (5ml/kg over 5 mins), till SVV less than 13 or FTC within normal range. Hypotension (more than 20 % decrease in MAP from the baseline or a MAP less than 65mmHg) will be treated as follows: 1.Ephedrine (three boluses- 6mg IV each, at 5min intervals): If SVRI less than Normal range (based on patients BMI); and CI and contractility indices within normal limits (based on patient’s BMI) . 2.Dobutamine (2-20 mcg/kg/min) if CI and contractility indices less than Normal range (based on patient’s BMI) 3.Norepinephrine (0.01-0.1μg/kg/min) for refractory hypotension. 4.Colloid [Hydroxyethyl starches boluses (200 ml)] will be given if CI less than normal range and SVV more than 13 or FTC less than normal range (based on patients BMI)  
Comparator Agent  Goal directed hemodynamic therapy versus conventional fluid therapy   We will compare the goal directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT) and conventional fluid therapy. In GDHT Group, intraoperative fluids therapy will be based on ICON (non invasive cardiac output monitor) parameters (Stroke volume variation, corrected flow time, thoracic fluid content) and in Conventional group fluid therapy will be based on Central venous pressure. And we will compare the both groups in terms of, 1.Occurrence of hypotension 2.Hemodynamics (Mean arterial pressure, Total input/ Urine output, Vasopressor and Inotrope requirement) 3.Brain relaxation score 4.Length of hospital stay and ICU stay 5.Incidence of postoperative complications (AKI,ARDS etc) 6.Neurological outcomes ( will be assessed by mRS scale and GOS-E scale)

Brief Summary   Anesthesia for sitting position neurosurgeries is associated with a serious risk of hemodynamic instability due to various reasons. This hypotension can  potentially  compromise the  cerebral perfusion which leads to poor patient outcome. Hence, maintenance of an adequate preload with optimal fluid administration, and  prompt treatment of the hypotension are important goals during sitting position neurosurgeries. Perioperative goal-directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT)  can help to optimize the cardiovascular dynamics, organ perfusion pressure, and tissue oxygen delivery, based on predefined target values of hemodynamic variables that reflect end-organ blood flow in these patients. In contrast to conventional management which is largely guided by vital signs. Hence in this study we aim to compare the effect of GDHT with  conventional hemodynamic  management during these  neurosurgeries. We hypothesize that GDHT provides superior  hemodynamic stability and better  perioperative patient outcomes than conventional hemodynamic  management  in patients undergoing sitting position neurosurgeries. 

In GDFT group patients, A protocolized approach will be followed, based on the following hemodynamic indices (by ICON non invasive cardio meter, Osypka Medical GmbH). 
Patients with an SVV > 13 or FTC< normal for their range [based on patient’s body mass index (BMI)] will be considered as fluid responders, and will be given upto three boluses of Normal saline (0.9%) boluses (5ml/kg over 5 mins), till SVV < 13/ FTC within normal range.  

Hypotension (>20 % decrease in MAP from the baseline or a MAP < 65mmHg) will be treated as follows:

 Ephedrine (three boluses- 6mg IV each, at 5min intervals):   If SVRI < Normal range (based on patients BMI); and CI and contractility indices within normal limits (based on patient’s  BMI) .   

 Dobutamine (2-20 mcg/kg/min) if CI and  contractility indices  < Normal range (based on  patient’s  BMI)

 Norepinephrine (0.01-0.1μg/kg/min) for refractory hypotension.

 Colloid [Hydroxyethyl starches boluses (200 ml)] will be  given if  CI  < normal range and  SVV > 13 / FTC < normal range (based on patients BMI)

In conventional group patients,

Normal saline (0.9%) will be administered as a maintenance fluid, to maintain CVP between 6 and 8 mmHg and a urine output of ≥0.5 ml/kg/h.  In case of hypotension, administration of colloids (6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4), vasoactive agents (ephedrine, norepinephrine) and inotropes (dobutamine) will be as per the  discretion of the attending neuroanesthesiologist.
