To assess fluid responsiveness in prone patient
Stroke volume variation (SVV) is an indicator used to assess the patient's volume status. The FloTrac system (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) continuously monitors cardiac output (CO) and SVV (SVV-FloTrac) by analyzing the systemic arterial pressure wave. Numerous studies have demonstrated that SVV-FloTrac serves as a reliable indicator of fluid responsiveness. However, its peripheral invasiveness raises concerns about susceptibility to reflecting waves, damping, and vascular tone influences.In contrast, Transthoracic electrical bioimpedance (BioZ.com™) offers a non-invasive approach for continuously monitoring various hemodynamic variables. In this study, the primary aim was to assess the agreement between simultaneously measured SVV-FloTrac and SVV-BioZ.
The goal of this prospective study is to validate the superior vena cava collapsibility index (SVC-CI) as a predictor of fluid responsiveness during laparotomy and open aortic surgery. The SVC-CI and patients' response to fluid will be assessed based on transesophageal echocardiography. The study has three arms, in order to validate SVC-CI under the conditions of laparotomy, aortic cross clamping and high PEEP levels. One of the study arms will be an active comparator arm. The data obtained from this study may help physicians guide intraoperative fluid therapy in a more efficient manner, in order to decrease perioperative mortality.

Carotid blood flow and corrected carotid flow time (Carotid Flow Time (FTc)) provide information about left ventricular preload and inversely correlate with systemic vascular resistance. The reliability in assessing fluid responsiveness has been demonstrated in studies involving invasive cardiac output measurements. In the elderly patient population where arterial elasticity can be compromised, there is no existing data in literature that determines the reliability and predictive value of FTc after general anesthesia induction.
Peripheral Perfusion Index (PI) has been investigated for its use in hemodynamic monitoring. The PI is derived from the photoelectric plethysmographic signal of the pulse oximeter. The changes in the PI reflect changes in peripheral vasomotor tone. In critically ill patients, the same value was found to represent a very sensitive cutoff point for determining abnormal peripheral perfusion, as defined by a prolonged Capillary Refill Time (CRT). However, age, gender, and ambient temperature have all been shown to affect the measure of CRT in normal volunteers, and the presence of a CRT > 2 or 3 seconds was not predictive of blood loss in phlebotomized volunteers. In addition, the CRT has been shown to have poor intra-observer agreement when a cutoff a two seconds was used in adult emergency room patients.13 Therefore, PI can be used for monitoring peripheral perfusion in critically ill patients.14PI shows the perfusion status of the tissue in the applied area for an instant and a certain time interval. The PI value ranges from 0.02% (very weak) to 20% (strong). As non-invasive CO monitors (ICON ®) is not available in many centers in our country due to its high cost, we try to validate other simple non-invasive method to be used to assess FR in critically ill patients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of pulse-oximeter derived PI measurement in assessment of fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients in comparison with CO response.
The measurement of internal jugular vein distensibility index corresponds to the measurement of stroke volume using trans-thoracic Doppler echocardiography in assessing the response to fluid administration in elective surgical patients.
During acute circulatory failure, volume expansion does not always lead to a significant increase in cardiac output (fluid responsiveness). After initial resuscitation by rapid fluid administration, cardiac preload is no longer extremely low and only half of the patients respond to further volume expansion with the expected increase in cardiac output (fluid unresponsiveness). However, the time delay or the volume of fluid needed to be administered from the state of fluid responsiveness to fluid unresponsiveness is still not determined. Objective To determine, in critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure, 1. : the time and/or the volume of fluid needed from the state of fluid responsiveness to fluid unresponsiveness during septic shock. 2. : determine the factors that influence this time and volume.
The purpose of this study is to validate Rainbow pleth variability index for prediction of fluid responsiveness in children.
