ABSTRACT
Introduction: Giving more fluid causes edema and less gives rise to hypoperfusion causing improper delivery of oxygen and substrate leads to cellular dysfunction and multiorgan dysfunction involving the brain, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and causing death. Diffusion, filtration, osmosis and adequate reabsorption help in continuous exchange of water and solutes among compartment. Daily water intake from the food and water get equalized with losses in the kidneys as urine, from the gastrointestinal system as feces and evaporation of water through lung and skin. Various hormones like Angiotensin II, Aldosterone ADH, Atrial natriuretic peptide maintain sodium and water balance and hence volume status. To maintain normovolemia there is every need for meticulous evaluation for patient Volume status in each patient for adequate volume replacement. Aim of the study: Correlating the Clinical Assessment of Volume Status to the volume assessment By Echocardiography using Respiratory Variation in Inferior Vena Cava Diameter. Gnanaprakasam J, Vasantha Kumar M, Praveenkumar M, Lakshmi Priya R. Study on clinical assessment of volume status and correlation to the respiratory variation in inferior vena cava diameter by echocardiography, a non-invasive method of measuring volume status. IAIM, 2018; 5(5): 104-110. Page 105 Materials and methods: Study population consisted of 200 patient of medicine department both inpatient and outpatient of Chengalpattu Medical college. The patient was examined clinically, history suggestive of volume depletion and history suggestive of volume overload were noted, signs and symptoms of both hypovolemia and hypervolemia were noted. Echocardiography was used as a noninvasive method of measuring volume status. Results: Correlation of assessment of volume status by the clinical method and IVC method as low, normal and high was represented. Correlation – 0.797, P value < 0.001 which tell that there was a statistically significant correlation between your two variables. That means, increases or decreases in IVC do significantly relate to increase or decrease. Conclusion: The use of echocardiography as a non-invasive mode of volume assessment is helpful to empower the clinical assessment methods and hence improves diagnostic accuracy.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Volume overload results in higher mortality rates in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The ratio of bioimpedance (RBI) might be a helpful parameter in adjusting dry body weight in CAPD patients. This study examined whether it is possible to distinguish between non-hypervolemic status and hypervolemic status in CAPD patients by using only RBI. METHODS: RBI was calculated as follows: RBI = impedance at 50 kHz/impedance at 500 kHz. Based on the experts’ judgements, a total of 64 CAPD patients were divided into two groups, a non-hypervolemic group and a hypervolemic group. The RBI was measured from right wrist to right ankle (rw-raRBI) by bioimpedance spectroscopy (BCM®, Fresenius Medical Care) before and after the peritosol was emptied. Other RBIs were measured from the right side of the anterior superior iliac spine to the ipsilateral ankle (rasis-raRBI) to control for the electro-physiological effects of peritoneal dialysate. RESULTS: The mean rw-raRBI of non-hypervolemic patients was higher than that of hypervolemic patients in the presence (1.141 ± 0.022 vs. 1.121 ± 0.021, P < 0.001) of a peritosol. Likewise, the mean rasis-raRBI of non-hypervolemic patients was higher than that of hypervolemic patients (presence of peritosol: 1.136 ± 0.026 vs. 1.109 ± 0.022, P < 0.001; absence of peritosol: 1.131 ± 0.022 vs. 1.107 ± 0.022, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The volume status of CAPD patients was able to be simply expressed by RBI. Therefore, this study suggests that when patients cannot be analyzed using BCM, RBI could be an alternative.

Antecedentes: La sobrehidratación crónica contribuye a la mortalidad cardiovascular en hemodiálisis. Objetivo: Dilucidar el dilema método clínico vs. método de la vena cava inferior en la definición del estado de hidratación de pacientes en hemodiálisis. Métodos: Se analizó la relación entre la diferencia relativa del diámetro de la vena cava inferior, en espiración prediálisis y posdiálisis, y los porcentajes de reducción del peso corporal, de la tensión arterial sistólica y diastólica. Se evaluó la sensibilidad y la especificidad del método clínico según método de la vena cava inferior. Resultados: El diámetro de vena cava inferior en espiración disminuyó con la remoción del agua corporal. La sensibilidad del método clínico, según método de vena cava inferior, fue de 57,1 para un IC al 95 por ciento entre 46,0 y 68,3; y una especificidad de 86,1 para un IC al 95 por ciento entre 78,0 y 94,0. Conclusiones: El método clínico es, según el método de la vena cava inferior, más específico que sensible
Backgrounds: The overhydration chronic is a cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis. Objective: To elucidate the dilemma related to the clinical method versus the vena cava inferior method to define the hydration state in hemodialysis patient. Methods: The relation between the relative difference in the vena cava inferior diameter in predialysis and postdialysis exhalation and the percentages of body weight reduction, of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The sensitivity and specificity of clinical method was assessed according to the vena cava inferior method. Results: The vena cava inferior method decreased with reduction on body fluid. The clinical method sensitivity according to vena cava inferior method was of 57.1 for a 95 percent CI between 46.0 and 68.3 and a specificity of 86.1 for a 95 percent CI between 78.0 and 94.0. Conclusions: The clinical method is according the vena cava inferior method one more specific than sensitive

A Insuficiência Renal Crônica tem se tornado cada vez mais prevalente no Brasil e no mundo. A hipertensão arterial e o Diabetes Mellitus se destacamcomo as principais doenças associadas ao seu aparecimento. Embora grandes avanços tenham sido conquistados no manuseio dessas doenças, aindanão é possível impedir que uma parcela desse grupo de pacientes evolua para a necessidade de terapia de substituição renal, diálise e/ou transplante.Apesar da melhora nas técnicas dialíticas, a mortalidade tem permanecido elevada, com destaque para as causas cardiovasculares, em que ahipertensão arterial representa importante fator de risco. Compreender a fisiopatologia da hipertensão nos pacientes em diálise faz-se necessário paradirecionar adequadamente o tratamento visando redução da morbidade e mortalidade. Esta revisão descreve mecanismos relacionados à hipertensãoem diálise com ênfase na retenção de sódio e água e as suas interações não apenas com o sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona, mas também como sistema nervoso autônomo simpático e outros de regulação pressórica cujo conhecimento pode auxiliar na prática nefrológica rotineira.
End stage renal failure has an increasing prevalence in Brazil and worldwide. Arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus emerge as the leading diseasesassociated with its development. Despite larger advances in management of these two conditions, we are not able to refrain the progression of some ofthese patients to end stage renal disease and reduce the demand for dialysis or kidney transplant. Irrespective of the improvement in dialysis techniques,the mortality of end-stage renal disease patients remains elevated with cardiovascular diseases playing a pivotal role in this regard. Hypertension is animportant risk factor to this end-point. The understanding of the pathophysiology of hypertension in dialysis may be instrumental to an appropriate treatmentaiming to decrease the morbidity and mortality rates of these patients. This review describes mechanisms related to the development of hypertension indialysis with emphasis in sodium overload and its relationships with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system and othermechanisms of blood pressure regulation whose knowledge may help the quotidian working journey of many nephrologists.

BACKGROUND: Liver vascular isolation is essential for the treatment of the retrohepatic vena cava and hepatic veins. Triple vessel occlusion (TVO - occlusion of the portal triad, the inferior vena cava above the renal veins and within the pericardium) is the easiest isolation method for the surgeon. Unfortunately, this technique cannot be applied to hypovolemic and/or shock (cardiac arrest) patients as it compromises venous return. OBJECTIVES: Our objective is to demonstrate that in the above mentioned patients, establishing a previous hypervolemic state allows the safe use of TVO. METHODS: The method includes efficient injury tamponade with aggressive fluid replacement until normal blood volume is reached (resuscitation). Normal blood volume is recognized by a return of arterial blood pressure to normal levels, inferior vena cava filling and an increase in aortic wall tension. Following this procedure, hypervolemia is obtained by the rapid additional infusion of 1.500 to 2.000 ml of fluids. TVO in this situation does not alter the heart rhythm and maintains a clear operative field which is essential for hepatotomy, venorrhaphy and or venous ligation. RESULTS: Three patients were successfully operated.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of deliberated hypotension combined with acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) on safety,operation time, blood loss,postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) of the patients undergoing endoscopic nose surgery.Methods Twenty ASA grade I to II patients undergoing selective endoscopic nose surgery were divided randomly into two groups: control group (n=10) and hypotensive group (n=10). All patients received general anesthesia. In the hypotensive group, AHH was accomplished with infusion of HAES and lactated Ringer's solution after endotracheal intubation and before operation. Deliberated hypotension was induced and maintained with nitroprusside 0 5～3 0?g?kg -1 ?min -1 iv. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) and hemodynamics during operation were recorded and compared between the both groups.Results Operation time was about 44% shorter in the hypotensive group than that in the control group. Blood loss was significantly lower in the hypotensive group than that in the control group (P
