6. CVP
• Central venous pressure
• Measured at the junction of the superior venacava and right atrium
• Indicates right atrial pressure;frequently used as an estimate of right
ventricular preload
• Patency
• Leveling
• Zeroing
• CVP should be taken at the end expiration
• Should be measured at the end of diastole
8. • CVP readings must be correlated with clinical circumstances
• Difficult to predict fluid responsiveness with CVP
• Poor indicator of preload as influenced by several factors
• To assess preload responsiveness static indicators have minimal value
9. Arterial line
Basic principles
Pressure wave form of arterial pulse is transmitted via column of fluid
to pressure transducer where it is converted into an electrical signal
The electrical signal is then processed, amplified and converted to
visual display by a microprocessor
Patency
Levelling
zeroing
10. • Area under the curve – strokes volume
• Position of dicrotic notch – high afterload and low SVR when it is high
• Slope of upstroke – myocardial contractility
11. Damping
• Dissipation of stored energy
• Anything which takes energy out of the system resulting in
progressive diminution of amplitude of oscillations
• Under damped – high systoles, low diastoles
• Overdamped –low systoles,high diastoles
12. DAMPING EFFECT…
• PATIENT RELATED
• Overdamped -Aortic stenosis,vasodialation,cardiogenic
shock,sepsis,severe hypovolemia
• Underdamped – aortic
regurgitation,hypervolemia,atherosclerosis,vasospasm
• SYSTEM RELATED
• Overdamped –air bubbles,loose connections,embolism,low flush bag
pressure,kinked line,multiple stop cocks
• Under damped – stiff tubing,long tubing,increased vascular resistence
14. Dynamic estimates of preload
• Cyclic changes in arterial pulse pressure and systolic component
during mechanical ventilation are induced by complex interaction
between systemic venous returns,RV ejection,intrathoracic volume
18. • Room temperature saline 10 ml
• Inject bolus within 4 seconds into proximal port
• Temperature changes sensed by PA thermistor
• 3 injections,results averaged
19.
20. GEDV
• Difference between intrathoracic and pulmonary thermal values
• Extravascular lung water (EVLW)
• Intrathoracic thermal volume- intrathoracic blood volume
• 3-7 ml/kg
29. LIMITATIONS
• Use of low tidal volume ventilation
• During spontaneous breathing
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Low compliance of RS(<30 ml/cm H20)
• Right heart failure
• High frequency ventilation,high intra abdominal pressure,open chest
30. End expiratory occlusion test(EEOT)
• Abolishes increase in intrathoracic pressure, prevents drop in preload
during inspiration
• Allows increase in venous return,acting like a fluid challenge
• An increase in Cl>5% during EEOT with a sensitivity of 91% and
specificity of 100%
• Can be used in low TV,low compliance lung,arrythimias
31.
32. PASSIVE LEG RAISING TEST
• Endogenous fluid challenge
• Set volume challenge
• Completively reversible
• Appropriate in spontaneously breathing patients,arrthymias
• Requires a real time CO assessment device to quantify the
hemodynamic response
33.
34. Pitfalls of PLR
• Need for real time CO
• Raised ICP
• Post abdominal surgery
• Increased abdominal pressure
36. IVC Collapsibility index –diameter variability cut off value of more than 50 % identifies responders
IVC Distensibility index –variation threshold of 12% is used to identify fluid responders
