Abstract

Background and objective Accurate assessment of a patient's volume status is an important goal for an anaesthetist. However, most variables assessing fluid responsiveness are either invasive or technically challenging. This study was designed to compare the accuracy of arterial pressure-based stroke volume variation (SVV) and variations in the pulse oximeter plethysmographic waveform amplitude as evaluated with the noninvasive calculated pleth variability index (PVI) with central venous pressure to predict the response of stroke volume index (SVI) to volume replacement in patients undergoing major surgery. Methods We studied 20 patients scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery. After induction of anaesthesia, all haemodynamic variables were recorded immediately before (T1) and subsequent to volume replacement (T2) by infusion of 6% hydroxy-ethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 (7 ml kg(-1)) at a rate of 1ml kg(-1) min(-1). Results The volume-induced increase in SVI was at least 15% in 15 patients (responders) and less than 15% in five patients (nonresponders). Baseline SVV correlated significantly with changes in SVI (Delta SVI; r=0.80; P<0.001) as did baseline PVI (r=0.61; P<0.004), whereas baseline values of central venous pressure showed no correlation to DSVI. There was no significant difference between the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for SVV (0.993) and PVI (0.973). The best threshold values to predict fluid responsiveness were more than 11% for SVV and more than 9.5% for PVI. Conclusion Although arterial pressure-derived SVV revealed the best correlation to volume-induced changes in SVI, the results of our study suggest that both variables, SVV and PVI, can serve as valid indicators of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing major surgery.
