Abstract
Purpose: Fasting and bowel preparation may deplete intravascular volume in patients undergoing colonoscopy. Nevertheless, rigorous demonstration of volume depletion and assessment of clinical consequences is lacking. We designed this study to explore the relationship between intravascular volume status and intraprocedural hypotension and to compare transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and the ClearSight™ (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) noninvasive cardiac output monitor to measure intravascular volume status.
Methods: We recruited adult patients undergoing elective colonoscopy following bowel preparation at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. We assessed the volume status preprocedure by taking TTE and ClearSight measurements in patients in the semirecumbent position and following passive leg raising. Patients received propofol-based sedation, and significant intraprocedural hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 60 mm Hg. The primary outcome was the occurrence of intravascular volume depletion as assessed by a positive result in a passive leg raise test on TTE (a 15% increase in the subaortic velocity time integral).
Results: Ninety-nine patients completed the study. The primary outcome was recorded in 29 of the 90 patients with adequate TTE images (32%; 95% confidence interval, 23 to 43). There was inadequate agreement between average TTE and ClearSight measurements of stroke volume at baseline or after passive leg raising. More patients experienced significant intraprocedural hypotension in the fluid-responsive group (48%) than in the normovolemic group (21%).
Conclusion: Patients undergoing elective colonoscopy after bowel preparation were often fluid responsive. These patients were more likely to have significant intraprocedural hypotension than patients who were volume replete. Transthoracic echocardiography assessment of volume status cannot be readily replaced by ClearSight monitoring.

期刊介绍:
The Canadian Journal of Anesthesia (the Journal) is owned by the Canadian Anesthesiologists’
Society and is published by Springer Science + Business Media, LLM (New York). From the
first year of publication in 1954, the international exposure of the Journal has broadened
considerably, with articles now received from over 50 countries. The Journal is published
monthly, and has an impact Factor (mean journal citation frequency) of 2.127 (in 2012). Article
types consist of invited editorials, reports of original investigations (clinical and basic sciences
articles), case reports/case series, review articles, systematic reviews, accredited continuing
professional development (CPD) modules, and Letters to the Editor. The editorial content,
according to the mission statement, spans the fields of anesthesia, acute and chronic pain,
perioperative medicine and critical care. In addition, the Journal publishes practice guidelines
and standards articles relevant to clinicians. Articles are published either in English or in French,
according to the language of submission.
