Patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic surgery (EAAS) are at risk of developing complications due to preoperative co-morbidity, surgical trauma, blood loss and inflammatory injury [1]. Individualized goal-directed therapy (IGDT) has been proposed to improve outcome in patients undergoing high-risk surgery [2]. The aim of this study was to investigate whether IGDT, targeting stroke volume (SV) and oxygen delivery (DO2), can be performed safely in EAAS.
