Interventions
DRUG

Ephedrine

In both the group, the target MAP can be maintained by means of bolus of ephedrine (2.5 mg). The maximal dose for the ephedrine allowed is 25 mg (10 boluses of 2.5 mg), after this threshold a continuous infusion of norepinephrine will be started

DRUG

Norepinephrine

In both the group, the target MAP can be maintained by means of bolus of ephedrine (2.5 mg) or Etilefrine (1 mg). The continuous infusion of norepinephrine, as decided by the attending anesthetist, may be started at any point of the intraoperative period. The starting dose of norepinephrine is the lowest needed to reach the predefined MAP target.

DRUG

Etilefrine Hydrochloride bolus

The maximal dose for the etilefrine allowed is 10 mg (10 boluses of 1 mg), after this threshold a continuous infusion of norepinephrine will be started

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Use of pulse pressure and stroke volume variation (PPV and SVV); use of Mini Fluid Challenge (mini_FC)

PPV, SVV and mini\_FC will guide fluid bolus administration during an episode of intraoperative hypotension, following two predefined algorithms for laparotomic/non laparotomic surgery
