The main objective of our study was to evaluate the predictive value of heart-rate variability (HRV) concerning development of postoperative complications in patients undergoing MAS. The secondary objectives were to identify the relationship of HRV and use of vasoactive drugs during anesthesia, intensive care unit length of stay (ICU-LOS), and hospital length of stay (H-LOS) %K heart-rate variability %K spectral analysis %K orthostatic load %K autonomic dysfunction %K major abdominal surgery %K postoperative complications %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5614745/
