ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Individuals in late pregnancy are at risk of significant hemodynamic variations, especially during Cesarean delivery. Although non-invasive monitoring might enable the early detection of variations in cardiac output (CO), clinical validation is lacking. METHODS: In a prospective, single-center study, we measured CO simultaneously with finger plethysmography and transthoracic echocardiography in 100 third-trimester pregnant individuals in the supine and left lateral decubitus (LLD) positions. RESULTS: A Bland-Altman analysis revealed a mean (standard deviation) bias of 1.36 (1.04) L·min-1 in the supine position (95% limits of agreement, -0.68 to 3.4 L·min-1; percent error, 26.6%), indicating overestimation by finger plethysmography. The intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.43 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33 to 0.51). Regarding the changes in CO induced by the supine-to-LLD transition, the concordance rate in a four-quadrant plot was 98.3% (95% CI, 91.1 to 99.9%). CONCLUSION: Our study showed a poor reliability of finger plethysmography for static measurement of CO. Nevertheless, finger plethysmography had a reasonably high concordance rate for the detection of CO changes secondary to positional changes in late-pregnant individuals. STUDY REGISTRATION DATE: www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov (NCT03735043); registered 8 November 2018.


RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: Les personnes en fin de grossesse sont à risque de variations hémodynamiques importantes, en particulier pendant un accouchement par césarienne. Bien que le monitorage non invasif puisse permettre la détection précoce des variations du débit cardiaque (DC), la validation clinique de ce type de monitorage fait défaut. MéTHODE: Dans une étude prospective monocentrique, nous avons mesuré le DC simultanément avec la pléthysmographie au doigt et l'échocardiographie transthoracique chez 100 femmes au troisième trimestre de leur grossesse en décubitus dorsal et en décubitus latéral gauche (DLG). RéSULTATS: Une analyse de Bland-Altman a révélé un biais moyen (écart type) de 1,36 (1,04) L·min­1 en décubitus dorsal (limites d'agrément à 95 %, -0,68 à 3,4 L·min­1; pourcentage d'erreur, 26,6 %), indiquant une surestimation lorsque mesuré par pléthysmographie au doigt. Le coefficient de corrélation intraclasse était de 0,43 (intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 %, 0,33 à 0,51). En ce qui concerne les changements de DC induits par la transition du décubitus dorsal au décubitus latéral gauche, le taux de concordance dans un diagramme à quatre quadrants était de 98,3 % (IC 95 %, 91,1 à 99,9 %). CONCLUSION: Notre étude a montré une faible fiabilité de la pléthysmographie au doigt pour la mesure statique du DC. Néanmoins, la pléthysmographie au doigt avait un taux de concordance raisonnablement élevé pour la détection des changements de DC secondaires aux changements de position chez les patientes en fin de grossesse. www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03735043); enregistrée le 8 novembre 2018.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Respiratory viral diagnosis of upper respiratory tract infections has largely developed through multiplex molecular techniques. Although the sensitivity of different types of upper respiratory tract samples seems to be correlated to the number of sampled cells, this link remains largely unexplored. METHODS: Our study included 800 upper respiratory tract specimens of which 400 negative and 400 positive for viral detection in multiplex PCR. All samples were selected and matched for age in these 2 groups. For the positive group, samples were selected for the detected viral species. RESULTS: Among the factors influencing the cellularity were the type of sample (p < 0.0001); patient age (p < 0.001); viral positive or negative nature of the sample (p = 0.002); and, for the positive samples, the number of viral targets detected (0.004 < p < 0.049) and viral species. CONCLUSION: The cellular load of upper respiratory samples is multifactorial and occurs for many in the sensitivity of molecular detection. However it was not possible to determine a minimum cellularity threshold allowing molecular viral detection. The differences according to the type of virus remain to be studied on a larger scale.
