Abstract Background Mini-fluid challenge of 100 ml colloids is thought to predict the effects of larger amounts of fluid (500 ml) in intensive care units. This study sought to determine whether a low quantity of crystalloid (50 and 100 ml) could predict the effects of 250 ml crystalloid in mechanically ventilated patients in the operating room. Methods A total of 44 mechanically ventilated patients undergoing neurosurgery were included. Volume expansion (250 ml saline 0.9%) was given to maximize cardiac output during surgery. Stroke volume index (monitored using pulse contour analysis) and pulse pressure variations were recorded before and after 50 ml infusion (given for 1 min), after another 50 ml infusion (given for 1 min), and finally after 150 ml infusion (total = 250 ml). Changes in stroke volume index induced by 50, 100, and 250 ml were recorded. Positive fluid challenges were defined as an increase in stroke volume index of 10% or more from baseline after 250 ml. Results A total of 88 fluid challenges were performed (32% of positive fluid challenges). Changes in stroke volume index induced by 100 ml greater than 6% (gray zone between 4 and 7%, including 19% of patients) predicted fluid responsiveness with a sensitivity of 93% (95% CI, 77 to 99%) and a specificity of 85% (95% CI, 73 to 93%). The area under the receiver operating curve of changes in stroke volume index induced by 100 ml was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.90 to 0.99) and was higher than those of changes in stroke volume index induced by 50 ml (0.83 [95% CI, 0.75 to 0.92]; P = 0.01) and pulse pressure variations (0.65 [95% CI, 0.53 to 0.78]; P < 0.005). Conclusions Changes in stroke volume index induced by rapid infusion of 100 ml crystalloid predicted the effects of 250 ml crystalloid in patients ventilated mechanically in the operating room.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine whether dynamic elastance EAdyn derived from echocardiographic measurements of stroke volume variations can predict the success of a one-step decrease of norepinephrine dose. In this prospective single-center study, 39 patients with vasoplegic syndrome treated with norepinephrine and for whom the attending physician had decided to decrease norepinephrine dose and monitored by thermodilution were analyzed. EAdyn is the ratio of pulse pressure variation to stroke volume variation and was calculated from echocardiography stroke volume variations and from transpulmonary thermodilution. Pulse pressure variation was obtained from invasive arterial monitoring. Responders were defined by a decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 10% following norepinephrine decrease. The median decrease in norepinephrine was of 0.04 [0.03–0.05] µg kg−1 min−1. Twelve patients (31%) were classified as pressure responders with a median decrease in MAP of 13% [12–15%]. EAdyn was lower in pressure responders (0.40 [0.24–0.57] vs 0.95 [0.77–1.09], p < 0.01). EAdyn was able to discriminate between pressure responders and non-responders with an area under the curve of 0.86 (CI95% [0.71 to1.0], p < 0.05). The optimal cut-off was 0.8. EAdyn calculated from the echocardiographic estimation of the stroke volume variation and the invasive arterial pulse pressure variation can be used to discriminate pressure response to norepinephrine weaning. Agreement between EAdyn calculated from echocardiography and thermodilution was poor. Echocardiographic EAdyn might be used at bedside to optimize hemodynamic treatment.

Abstract There is a vast body of evidence in favor of individualising fluid therapy using dynamic hemodynamic indices like stroke volume variation (SVV). Patients with implanted intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) are excluded from this approach because of pulse contour artifacts caused by the pump. The aim of this work is to test whether SVV can be used for fluid responsiveness prediction in these patients. Materials and methods: Patients after cardiac surgery with implanted IABP were included in this study. SVV was measured after placing the IABP on standy mode for one minute. Cardiac output (CO) measurement was obtained via Swan-Ganz catheter before and after a 6 ml/kg fluid challenge. Fluid responsiveness was defined as increase of CO by at least 10%. Results: SVV above 8.5% showed a good correlation with fuid responsiveness. Sensitivity was 95 (95% CI 85 to 100) and specificity 82 (95% CI 72 to 92). SVV had an area under the ROC curve 0.91 (95% CI 0.81 to 1.0) Conclusion: SVV is a good predictor of fluid responsiveness in patients with IABP. SVV should not be excluded as a fluid therapy guide for these patients. Placing the pump on standby for one minute allows obtaining an accurate measurement of this important variable.
