Effectiveness of Finger and Forehead Plethysmographic Variability Index Monitoring in Pediatric Patients

NCT04835610 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In pediatric surgical patients, the sensitivity of forehead and finger PVI monitoring was similar for the prediction of fluid responsiveness, whereas the specificity of forehead monitoring was higher. The use of forehead PVI probes in the fluid management of these patients seemed to be appropriate because cephalic region was not affected by low perfusion states.

Conditions

  • PVI

Interventions

DEVICE

pvi

The Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI) can be measured with both finger and forehead probes. Vasoconstriction may reduce the reliability of PVI measurements in pediatric surgical patients prone to hypothermia. The vascular structure of the forehead area is resistant to changes in vasomotor tonus. The aim of our study is to compare the efficacy of PVI values measured at the finger and forehead areas to predict fluid responsiveness in these patients.
