Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Volume Replacement with Volulyte 6% in Moderate-to-high Cardiovascular Risk Patients Having Major Abdominal Surgery
Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4: Individualized goal-directed administration of 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4: After the induction of anesthesia, 200 ml trial fluid will be infused over 20 min. If stroke volume (SV) increases \>10%, another 200 ml fluid will be given. After that, the use of trial fluid will be determined by the patients' Stroke Volume Variation (SVV). If the SVV exceeds 12%, 200 ml trial fluid will be given over 20 min; this will be repeated until SVV \<12%. If the use of HES exceeds 30 ml/kg, sodium acetate Ringer will be replaced. In addition, patients will have a background infusion of sodium acetate Ringer's solution at 4 ml/kg/h to satisfy the maintenance fluid requirements during surgery.

Study summary
The investigators propose a multicenter randomized trial to test the renal safety of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 combined with sodium acetate Ringer's crystalloid solution in moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk patients having major abdominal surgery. The reference group will only be given sodium acetate Ringer's crystalloid.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Maximum change in serum Cystatin-C based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline through initial 3 postoperative hospital days — Baseline and postoperative 1/2/3 day The decrease in cystatin-C-based eGFR from preoperatively to the minimum value recorded during the initial three postoperative hospital days. Increases in postoperative eGFR will be considered a reduction of 0 for analysis purposes.
