Conventional Fluid Management vs Plethysmographic Variability Index -Based Goal Directed Fluid Management

Summary

Plethysmographic variability index is a dynamic method for evaluation of volume status which depends on estimation of respiratory variations in pulse oximeter waveform amplitude. The PVI has been studied in various patient populations and clinical settings, and has been shown to reliably predict fluid responsiveness and guide fluid resuscitation.

conventional fluid management. Fluid replacement is managed according to clinical assessment, heart rate, arterial blood pressure and central venous pressure monitoring. However, clinical studies indicate that changes in ABP cannot be used for the monitoring of stroke volume and cardiac output. Another method is the goal-directed fluid management and it is based on individualized fluid management using static and dynamic parameters.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

General anaesthesia

All patients in supine position will receive breathing 100% oxygen, induction of anaesthesia will be achieved using propofol (2 mg/Kg), 1-2 mcg/kg of fentanyl and atracurium (0.5 mg/Kg). Endotracheal tube will be inserted after 3 minutes of mask ventilation. Patients who will experience prolonged airway instrumentation due to a difficult intubation will be excluded from further data analysis because of excessive stimulation. Then mechanical ventilation will be performed using a tidal volume of 6-8 mL/kg of ideal body weight at an inspiratory to expiratory ratio of 1:2 without positive end-expiratory pressure. The ventilatory frequency will be adjusted to maintain an end-tidal carbon dioxide tension of 35-40 mmHg. Anaesthesia will be maintained by isoflurane (1-1.5%), atracurium 10 mg intravenous increments every 20 minutes and morphine 0.1 mg/kg intravenous will be given as a long acting analgesia.

DRUG

Conventional fluid managment

Ringer solution at the dose of 5 ml/kg/h infused throughout the surgical procedure by taking the parameters such as Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and urine output, Hypotension was defined as a condition in which the MAP was below 30% of the baseline MAP of the patient. In this case, bolus of 250 ml crystalloids (0.9% NaCl) was given and in case of hypotension persistence, 5 mg I.V. ephedrine administered and repeated every 5 min till the MAP increased over 70% of baseline.

DRUG

PVI dependant goal directed fluid therapy

After the induction of anesthesia, Ringer solution infused at the dose of 2 ml/kg/h started as a basal rate of infusion. If the PVI was higher than 13% for more than 5 min, a 250-ml bolus of crystalloids administrated. If the PVI was still higher than 13% after the bolus, it was repeated every 5 min until the PVI was less than 13% and if MAP was below 30% of the baseline MAP of the patient 5 mg iv ephedrine was applied and repeated every 5 min to keep the MAP increased over 70% of baseline. In the cases where PVI was less than \< 13% and if MAP was below 30% of the baseline MAP of the patient 5 mg iv ephedrine was applied and repeated every 5 min to keep the MAP increased over 70% of baseline. Then the patient was turned to prone position and the same steps according to Massimo readings were repeated.
