Validity of stroke volume variation for predicting fluid responsiveness in different grades of intra-abdominal pressure / 临床麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the validity of stroke volume variation (SVV) for predicting fluid responsiveness in different grades of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP).Methods Forty pigs were involved in the study.Hypovolemia was made by blood withdraw of 30% of estimated blood volume from each animal via carotid artery.All the pigs were randomized into four groups namly 0 mm Hg (L0), 15 mm Hg (L15), 25 mm Hg (L25) and 35 mm Hg (L35).Nitrogen was inflated slowly till IAP to 0, 15, 25 and 35 mm Hg.Fluid loading was performed with 500 ml hydroxyethyl starch within 30 minutes.Hemodynamic parameters were evaluated by the thermodilution technique of pulse induced continuous cardiac output (PiCCO).SVV and stroke volume (SV) were measured before and after fluid loading.Results In groups L0 and L15, SVV was positive correlated with changes in SV (r=0.888, 0.942, respectively, P<0.05).In groups L25 and L35, there were poor correlations between SVV and changes in SV(r=0.068,-0.114, respectively).Conclusion When IAP was slightly increased up to 15 mm Hg, SVV remains an effectiveness index to predict fluid responsiveness index, however it failed to assess fluid responsiveness effectively when IAP is further raised up to 25 mm Hg or more.
