Abstract
To detect preload responsiveness in patients ventilated with a tidal volume (Vt) at 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight (PBW), the Vt-challenge consists in increasing Vt from 6 to 8 mL/kg PBW and measuring the increase in pulse pressure variation (PPV). However, this requires an arterial catheter. The perfusion index (PI), which reflects the amplitude of the photoplethysmographic signal, may reflect stroke volume and its respiratory variation (pleth variability index, PVI) may estimate PPV. We assessed whether Vt-challenge-induced changes in PI or PVI could be as reliable as changes in PPV for detecting preload responsiveness defined by a PLR-induced increase in cardiac index (CI) ≥ 10%. In critically ill patients ventilated with Vt = 6 mL/kg PBW and no spontaneous breathing, haemodynamic (PICCO2 system) and photoplethysmographic (Masimo-SET technique, sensor placed on the finger or the forehead) data were recorded during a Vt-challenge and a PLR test. Among 63 screened patients, 21 (33%) were excluded because of an unstable PI signal and/or atrial fibrillation and 42 were included. During the Vt-challenge in the 16 preload responders, CI decreased by 4.8 ± 2.8% (percent change), PPV increased by 4.4 ± 1.9% (absolute change), PIfinger decreased by 14.5 ± 10.7% (percent change), PVIfinger increased by 1.9 ± 2.6% (absolute change), PIforehead decreased by 18.7 ± 10.9 (percent change) and PVIforehead increased by 1.0 ± 2.5 (absolute change). All these changes were larger than in preload non-responders. The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) for detecting preload responsiveness was 0.97 ± 0.02 for the Vt-challenge-induced changes in CI (percent change), 0.95 ± 0.04 for the Vt-challenge-induced changes in PPV (absolute change), 0.98 ± 0.02 for Vt-challenge-induced changes in PIforehead (percent change) and 0.85 ± 0.05 for Vt-challenge-induced changes in PIfinger (percent change) (p = 0.04 vs. PIforehead). The AUROC for the Vt-challenge-induced changes in PVIforehead and PVIfinger was significantly larger than 0.50, but smaller than the AUROC for the Vt-challenge-induced changes in PPV. In patients under mechanical ventilation with no spontaneous breathing and/or atrial fibrillation, changes in PI detected during Vt-challenge reliably detected preload responsiveness. The reliability was better when PI was measured on the forehead than on the fingertip. Changes in PVI during the Vt-challenge also detected preload responsiveness, but with lower accuracy.
期刊介绍:
Critical Care is an esteemed international medical journal that undergoes a rigorous peer-review process to maintain its high quality standards. Its primary objective is to enhance the healthcare services offered to critically ill patients. To achieve this, the journal focuses on gathering, exchanging, disseminating, and endorsing evidence-based information that is highly relevant to intensivists. By doing so, Critical Care seeks to provide a thorough and inclusive examination of the intensive care field.
