(1) Use the Stroke Volume Index (SVI); average over 10 cycles 
(2) Hypotension can be absolute or relative 
(3) A large change in the SV, ie. >10%, represents the fluid 
responsiveness 
(4) A small change in the SV, ie <10% represents the plateau 
phase and represents an optimised preload 
(5) Once an optimised phase is reached, a fluid bolus should be 
given if the SVI falls >10% 
* The Doppler values will vary from measurement to 
measurement. However, a trend over several measurements 
will be more informative.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 AACA invitation to speak Disclosure – ANZCA and local research funds. Unrestricted use of equipment from Lidco. No commercial interest to declare.
  • #4 Bmeye, netherlands Nexfin is based on a volume clamp system penaz 1980s Cuff will vary to keep the arterial unloaded – position where arterial and cuff pressure are equal. As the arterial pressure rises in the mid phallanx, the cuff pressure rises in parallel. Pressure waveform is derived. And hydrostatic pressure correction. This indirect arterial pressure is then utilised to form a reconstructed brachial pressure waveform that acts as the basis for estimated CO and SV.
  • #5 Bmeye, netherlands Nexfin is based on a volume clamp system penaz 1980s Cuff will vary to keep the arterial unloaded – position where arterial and cuff pressure are equal. As the arterial pressure rises in the mid phallanx, the cuff pressure rises in parallel. Pressure waveform is derived. And hydrostatic pressure correction. This indirect arterial pressure is then utilised to form a reconstructed brachial pressure waveform that acts as the basis for estimated CO and SV.
  • #6 TOE: spectral display is the form that the velocities are represented on the screem. Y velocity of rbc, X time, brightness no of rbc’s. Velocity Time Integral x CSA (measured) = SV VTI x CSA (nomogram) = SV
  • #8 Brief talk about the shapes and how they change. Don’t get too bogged down in this, except LVF is one of the shape questions.

As the arterial pressure rises in the mid phallanx, the cuff pressure rises in parallel. Pressure waveform is derived. And hydrostatic pressure correction. This indirect arterial pressure is then utilised to form a reconstructed brachial pressure waveform that acts as the basis for estimated CO and SV.
  • #11 CCM 2009 MIT, MGH, Harvard, Macgill Beth Israel Open source database containing Critical care physiologic parameters MAP and CO TD Used that to model 8 different ways of calculating CO from ABP Some PP/RMS=Lidco, Modelflow, PICCO but only estimations of proprietary which remain black box. All better than MAP at directional CO. Good agreement best 78% Lillestrand Magnitude varied enormously. Only Lillestrand better than MAP They have called on vendors to subject their devices to this database so we can test the accuracy and allow for comparison.
  • #13 The difference between the maximum and the minimum systolic pressure over a single respiratory cycle, the systolic pressure variation (SPV). Inspiration - blood squeezed from lung LV preload systemic BP intrathoracic pressure- RV preload RV stroke vol
  • #14 The respiratory changes in stroke volume can be measure as the Systolic pressure variation less accurate Pulse Pressure variation diff btw sbp and dbp or svv apco monitor
  • #15 Maguire 2011 Screened for applicability using a retrospective database. GA, PPV, TV, PEEP, SR 39% - POP can be used 23% had arterial line AND meet criteria Don’t take numbers to heart. As retrospective and used all comers not just those in whom CO monitoring was beig considered. Issue with low TV ventilation as well. Futier NEJM 2013 “improve study”
  • #18 Lithium injected centrally or peripherally Lithium sensor placed on ART line Dilution curve shown on screen
  • #19 Lithium injected centrally or peripherally Lithium sensor placed on ART line Dilution curve shown on screen
  • #22 GUI graphical User interface Enticing Trend screen Drive screen Treatment algorithm Beating heart screen Important – marks an improvement. Same two key parameters bundled
  • #27 The relationship between absolute values of (a) arterial invasive and photoplethysmographic systolic arterial pressure (220 paired data points); (b) arterial invasive and photoplethysmographic diastolic arterial pressure (220 paired data points); (c) arterial invasive and photoplethysmographic mean arterial pressure (220 paired data points); and (d) transpulmonary thermodilution and photoplethysmographic CI (120 paired data points). AI, arterial invasive; CI, cardiac index; DAP, diastolic arterial pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; NF, Nexfin; SAP, systolic arterial pressure; TD, transpulmonary thermodilution.
  • #28 An important concept Integration. Into the anaesthetic monitoring modules - aside from PPV. Ev1000.
  • #30 However, it means an even wider precision is now being quoted in subsequent papers as being acceptable. All under certain conditions will obtain that no matter how bad they are. Eg. Stable ICU vs post CPB Certainly PE does not allow discimination between the monitors
  • #31 Whilst we may conclude that with TD, they are broadly the same as seen in the numerous calibatration study. There are relatively few study that compare them head to head. Small study we did in 2009. Grey zones represent agreement in direction. RUQ and LLQ. Difficult to demonstrate good agreement in general. But OD tracked fluid changes better. FT and li less so. 22 Cardiac patients in 2009
  • #32 Larger variability in vasopressors Lorsomradee JCVA 2009 FT 1.07 52 elective cabg Also higher error sternotomy, phenylephrine post cpb and AI cf baseline Inability to manage morhpological changes in arterial waveform..
  • #33 In assessing FR parameters, ROC to show sensitivity – ability to show true positives. And also true negatives – not FR. PPV at this threshold say 12% good sensitivity at it increases. And good specificity as it decreases. AUC Conversely, CVP at any threshold has a specificity and sensitivity or 50% not much better than toss of a coin. Which I think is being a little harsh and dosent’ reflect dCVP. ROC aren’t everything but are used for resp coupled parameters In this review of functional haemodynamics Main author declared interest in haemodynamic monitoring BM Eye, Pulsion.
  • #34 Marik CCM 2009 Metaanalysis of “dynamic changes in arterial waveform derived variables and FR” Highly accurate. Link btw cumulative fluid balance and poor outcomes – makes sense to give fluid in those who have demonstrated FR. PPV/SVV dynamically reflects patients position on the starling curve
  • #35 Limitations aside, there are outcome studies that utilise these monitors. Calculation of SV. Key is correction for individual arterial compliance. Lidco uses pulse power. Flotrac uses Langewouter equation. Both systems lead to diminished SV at higher pressure compared to lower pressurelevels with the same pressure curve. Large PE 52%, if one 10% SVV the other could be 5 or 15% 95% of the time. Urged caution in use as sole variable. Threshold probably set higher. HUT, FL in 15 cardiac patients Not interchangeable.
  • #36 Tabulation of monitoring system and the goal of therapy Interesting to note that the users of APCO chose not just fluid but inotrope optimisation. Speculate why? Perhaps fluid optimisation alone with APCO unlikely to yield a significant treatmet effect? Or is it a function of ICU where ease of integration of APCO cf complexity of OD? Initialy OD but now also APCO Utility of the devices and the parameters, needs the value of outcome studies beyond calibration/accuracy studies. However, still limited by small studies in disparate populations. Reproducibility in unclear. Still better than textbook anaesthesia “uo, blood pressure, assumptions to how dry the patient is, cvp, lacatate, bxs” which is devoid of rct of whatever description”
  • #37 More recently, no also minimsation of respiratory coupled paramenters. Inlcuding PVI. Interestinglys Futier decided to use dPV which is a standout rather than the standard. Not conviced about respiratory couple doppler.
  • #39 Srinivasa, Taylor, Hill No significant change in the CO (SV not mentioned) makes it unclear whether optimisation was achieved. 591 vs 297 colloid *
  • #42 Some studies I suspect start with hypovolemia and as a result tdargetted therapy may have benefitted the patients Some studies are hypervolemia. Compare traditional approach to a new therapeutic idea in a sufficiently high number of patients If the study group is better than the control then the study group is the future If not then nothing changes Problems No easily defined control – heterogeneity of practice. Btw clinicians and hospitals and countries. Not just of fluid practice but periop practice What is restrictive in one group is liberal in another
  • #43 Whilst it is very difficult to demonstrate definitive benefit. RCT with GDT not replicating those large treatment effects seen in earlier studies. To be published soon. What you do with those parameters may be contestable. But they tell you more about preload, stroke volume. Keep in mind the key parameters, their underlying assumptions and be critical. The role of a second monitor Sth that is not BP or UO Reinforces decision making. Alters decision making.
