Abstract
Background The use of vasoconstrictor can affect the dynamic indices to predict fluid responsiveness. We investigate the effects of an increase of vascular tone on dynamic variables of fluid responsiveness in a rabbit model of hemorrhage, and to examine the ability of the arterial pressure surrogates dynamic indices to track systolic volume variation (SVV) during hypovolemia under increased vasomotor tone. Methods Eighteen anesthetized and mechanically ventilated rabbits were studied during normovolemia (BL) and after blood progressive removal (15 mL/kg, BW). Other two sets of data were obtained during PHE infusion with normovolemia (BL + PHE) and during hypovolemia (BW + PHE). We measured central venous and left ventricular (LV) pressures and infra diaphragmatic aortic blood flow (AoF) and pressure. Pulse pressure variation (PPV), systolic pressure variation (SPV) and SVV were estimated manually by the variation of beat-to-beat PP, SP and SV, respectively. We also calculated PPVapnea as 100 × (PPmax-PPmin)/PP during apnea. The vasomotor tone was estimated by total peripheral resistance (TPR = mean aortic pressure/mean AoF), dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn = PPV/SVV) and arterial compliance (C = SV/PP). We assessed LV preload by LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). We compared the trending abilities between SVV and pressure surrogate indices using four-quadrant plots and polar plots. Results Baseline PPV, SPV, PPVapnea, and SVV increased significantly during hemorrhage, with a decrease of AoF (P < 0.05). PHE induced significant TPR and Eadyn increase and C decrease in bled animals, and a further decrease in AoF with a significant decrease of all dynamic indices. There was a significant correlation between SVV and PPV, PPVapnea and SPV in normal vasomotor tone (r2 ≥ 0.5). The concordance rate was 91%, 95% and 76% between SVV and PPV, PPVapnea and SPV, respectively, in accordance with the polar plot analysis. During PHE infusion, there was no correlation between SVV and its surrogates, and both four-quadrant plot and polar plot showed poor trending. Conclusion In this animal model of hemorrhage and increased vasomotor tone induced by phenylephrine the ability of dynamic indices to predict fluid responsiveness seems to be impaired, masking the true fluid loss. Moreover, the arterial pressure surrogates have not the reliable trending ability against SVV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nexfin (Bmeye, Amsterdam, Netherlands) is a noninvasive cardiac output (CO) monitor based on finger arterial pulse contour analysis. The aim of this study was to validate Nexfin CO (NexCO) against thermodilution (TDCO) and pulse contour CO (CCO) by PiCCO (Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany). PATIENTS AND METHODS In a mix of critically ill patients (n = 45), NexCO and CCO were measured continuously and recorded at 2-hour intervals during the 8-hour study period. TDCO was measured at 0-4-8 hrs. RESULTS NexCO showed a moderate to good (significant) correlation with TDCO (R (2) 0.68, P < 0.001) and CCO (R (2) 0.71, P < 0.001). Bland and Altman analysis comparing NexCO with TDCO revealed a bias (± limits of agreement, LA) of 0.4 ± 2.32 L/min (with 36% error) while analysis comparing NexCO with CCO showed a bias (±LA) of 0.2 ± 2.32 L/min (37% error). NexCO is able to follow changes in TDCO and CCO during the same time interval (level of concordance 89.3% and 81%). Finally, polar plot analysis showed that trending capabilities were acceptable when changes in NexCO (ΔNexCO) were compared to ΔTDCO and ΔCCO (resp., 89% and 88.9% of changes were within the level of 10% limits of agreement). CONCLUSION we found a moderate to good correlation between CO measurements obtained with Nexfin and PiCCO.

Abstract
Respiratory variation in the arterial blood pressure and photoplethysmographic (PPG) waveforms have both been shown to predict the haemodynamic response to volume administration. Whether or not the two can be considered interchangeable is controversial. Twenty-three patients undergoing spine surgery received both a 20 gauge intra-arterial catheter and a Masimo adult adhesive SpHb sensor connected to a Radical-7 monitor. Pulse pressure variation (PPV) was calculated off-line at 1-min intervals. Pleth Variability Index (PVI) and Perfusion Index data were recorded. After exclusion of outliers, agreement between PPV and PVI was assessed using a repeated measures Bland-Altman approach. Concordance between changes in PPV and PVI was assessed using a four-quadrant plot with a 20% zone of exclusion. In total, 6549 min of data were collected. Repeated measures Bland-Altman analysis identified a bias of 2.2% and 95% confidence intervals of ±15.3% (limits of agreement -13.1 and +17.6%). The concordance rate between changes in PPV and changes in PVI was 51%. The agreement between respiratory variation in the arterial blood pressure and PPG waveforms is poor and these two should not be considered interchangeable. Changes in PPV are unrelated to changes in PVI. The data, combined with recently published work from other authors, suggests that the low frequency oscillations in the PPG waveform are not related to the low frequency oscillation in the systemic arterial blood pressure tracing and may be related to changes in venous pressure, peripheral tone or other physiologic phenomena yet to be described.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the noninvasive estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO), device-derived cardiac output (CO) to simultaneous pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) thermodilution (TD) CO. DESIGN A prospective study comparing pulse wave transit time (estimated continuous cardiac output, esCCO; Nihon Kohden, Tokyo, Japan) to intermittent TD CO. SETTING One academic hospital. PARTICIPANTS Patients presenting for cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS Intraoperative CO measurements at 4 distinct time points (after induction, after sternotomy, after cardiopulmonary bypass, and after chest closure). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The study population consisted of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) IV subjects, 27 (77%) males and 8 (23%) females, with a mean age of 64.6 ± 12.2 years. Data points from esCCO and TD were collected simultaneously and means per time point compared using Bland-Altman, Pearson R coefficient, and percent error. Mean TD CO for the study was 5.4 L/min. The Pearson R coefficient, percent error, and bias in L/min were: 0.57, 44%, 0.66 (after induction); 0.54, 51%, 0.88 (after sternotomy); 0.60, 60%, 0.95 (after cardiopulmonary bypass); and 0.57, 60%, 0.75 (after chest closure) respectively. CONCLUSIONS esCCO is easy to use and provides continuous CO measurements, but has wide limits of agreement and large percentage errors with a consistently positive bias in comparison to TD.

Abstract
Hemodynamic assessment is a key component of the evaluation of the critically ill patients and has both diagnostic and prognostic utility. This review outlines a general approach to assessment of hemodynamics and perfusion, and then discusses various hemodynamic parameters: heart rate, BP, intravascular (central venous and pulmonary artery) pressures, cardiac output, and myocardial performance, within the context not only of how they are best measured but also how they should be used in a clinical context. Hemodynamics are best assessed using a combination of not only different hemodynamic parameters but also those with the inclusion of clinical indices of perfusion. The benefits of these techniques, as with all medical testing and interventions, must be weighed against any potential risks. Although what to measure and how to measure it is important, what is most important is how to use the information. Evaluating the response to therapeutic interventions is frequently the most useful way to employ hemodynamic monitoring techniques. For the practitioner, learning how to select from a robust set of hemodynamic tools and how to tailor their use to individual clinical settings will allow for optimal patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioreactance estimates cardiac output in a non-invasive way. We evaluated the ability of a bioreactance device (NICOM®) to estimate cardiac index (CI) and to track relative changes induced by volume expansion. METHODS In 48 critically ill patients, we measured CI estimated by the NICOM® device (CINicom) and by transpulmonary thermodilution (CItd, PiCCO2™ device) before and after a 500 ml saline infusion. Before volume expansion, we performed a passive leg raising (PLR) test and measured the changes it induced in CINicom and in pulse contour analysis-derived CI. RESULTS Considering the values recorded before PLR and before and after volume expansion (n=144), the bias (lower and upper limits of agreement) between CItd and CINicom was 0.9 (-2.2 to 4.1) litre min(-1) m(-2). The percentage error was 82%. There was no significant correlation between the changes in CItd and CINicom induced by volume expansion (P=0.24). An increase in CI estimated by pulse contour analysis >9% during the PLR test predicted fluid responsiveness with a sensitivity of 84% (95% confidence interval 60-97%) and a specificity of 97% (95% confidence interval 82-100%). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve constructed to test the ability of the PLR-induced changes in CINicom in predicting fluid responsiveness did not differ significantly from 0.5 (P=0.77). CONCLUSIONS The NICOM® device cannot accurately estimate the cardiac output in critically ill patients. Moreover, it could not predict fluid responsiveness through the PLR test.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare stroke volume (SV) and preload responsiveness measurements from different technologies with the esophageal Doppler monitor (EDM). DESIGN Prospective measurement study. SETTING Operating room. PATIENTS 20 ASA physical status 3 patients undergoing vascular, major urological, and bariatric surgery. INTERVENTIONS Subjects received fluids using a standard Doppler protocol of 250 mL of colloid administered until SV no longer increased by >10%, and again when the measured SV decreased by 10%. MEASUREMENTS Simultaneous readings of SV, stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) from the LiDCOrapid, and SVV from the FloTrac/Vigileo were compared with EDM measurements. The pleth variability index (PVI) also was recorded. MAIN RESULTS No correlation was seen in percentage SV change as measured by either the LiDCOrapid (r=0.05, P=0.616) or FloTrac (r=0.09, P= 0.363) systems compared with the EDM. Correlation was present between the LiDCOrapid and FloTrac (r=0.515, P<0.0001). Percentage error compared with the EDM was 81% for the FloTrac and 90% for the LiDCOrapid. SVV as measured by LiDCOrapid differed for fluid responders and nonresponders (10% vs 7%; P=0.021). Receiver operator curve analysis to predict a 10% increase in SV from the measured variables showed an area under the curve of 0.57 (95% CI 0.43-0.72) for SVV(FloTrac), 0.64 (95% CI 0.52-0.78) for SVV(LiDCO), 0.61 (95% CI 0.46 -0.76) for PPV, and 0.59 (95% CI 0.46 -0.71) for PVI. CONCLUSIONS Stroke volume as measured by the FloTrac and LiDCOrapid systems does not correlate with the esphageal Doppler, has poor concordance, and a clinically unacceptable percentage error. The predictive value of the fluid responsiveness parameters is low, with only SVV measured by the LiDCOrapid having clinical utility.

Abstract
Supra-sternal Doppler (USCOM Ltd., Sydney, Australia) can be used during anaesthesia to measure cardiac output (CO) and related flow parameters. However, before the USCOM can be used routinely, its utility and limitations need to be fully understood and critical information about its use disseminated. In "Window to the Circulation" we use the example of an elderly man undergoing major urological robotic surgery to highlight the utility and limitations of intra-operative USCOM use. USCOM readings were verified against oesophageal Doppler. Despite the lack of major blood loss (<500 ml in 8-h), significant changes in haemodynamics were recorded. CO ranged from 3.2 to 8.3 l/min. The quality of USCOM scans and reliability of data was initially poor, but improved as CO increased as surgery progressed. When USCOM scans became acceptable the correlation with oesophageal Doppler was R(2) = 8.0 (p < 0.001). Several characteristic features of the supra-sternal Doppler scans were identified: Aortic and pulmonary flow waves, valve closure, E and A waves, false A-wave and aberrant arterial flow patterns. Their identification helped with identifying the main flow signal across the aortic valve. The USCOM has the potential to monitor changes in CO and related flow parameters intra-operatively and thus help the anaesthetist to more fully understand the patient's haemodynamics. However, achieving a good quality scan is important as it improves the reliability of USCOM data. The supra-sternal route is rich in flow signals and identifying the aortic valve signal is paramount. Recognizing the other characteristic waveforms in the signal helps greatly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ultrasound cardiac output monitor (USCOM) is a continuous wave Doppler system designed to measure cardiac output (CO) non-invasively and intermittently either from the pulmonary or from the aortic valve. USCOM scan quality is critical to obtaining reliable data and during anaesthesia it is said to deteriorate with increasing age. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of age on supra-sternal USCOM scan repeatability during anaesthesia. METHODS We performed a series of 6 USCOM scans in 180 patients of all ages after induction for routine surgery. A 12-point Cattermole (CS) score and 10-point insonation (IS) score were used to evaluate scan quality and ease of insonation. The coefficients of variation (CVs) of USCOM variables [CO, peak velocity, stroke volume index (SVI) and the corrected flow time] were derived from the series of six readings. RESULTS In >95% of young patients (age <50 yr), it was easy to obtain a good-quality USCOM scan (CS>8). In these patients, repeatability of serial readings was good with CVs<5% and precision of less than ±10%. In older patients (>50 yr), scan quality and ease of insonation declined, with >25% of patients >60 yr having unreliable USCOM scans (CS<5). In these patients, the CV was >5-10%. In several elderly patients (>65 yr), we failed to locate the USCOM signal. Average scan time increased with age (30 to >60 s). SVI was also strongly correlated with scan quality (R(2)=0.77). CONCLUSIONS Increasing age has a significant effect on USCOM scan quality and data reliability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac output (CO) measurement with lithium dilution (COLD) has not been fully validated in sheep using precise ultrasonic flow probe technology (COUFP). Sheep generate important cardiovascular research models and the use of COLD has become more popular in experimental settings. METHODS Ultrasonic transit-time perivascular flow probes were surgically implanted on the pulmonary artery of 13 sheep. Paired COLD readings were taken at six time points, before and after implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and compared with COUFP recorded just after lithium injection. RESULTS The mean COLD was 5.7 litre min(-1) (range 3.8-9.6 litre min(-1)) and mean COUFP 5.9 litre min(-1) (range 4.0-9.2 litre min(-1)). The bias (standard deviation) was 0.3 (1.0) litre min(-1) [5.1 (16.9)%] and limits of agreement (LOA) were -1.7 to 2.3 litre min(-1) (-28.8 to 39.0%) with a percentage error (PE) of 34.4%. Data to assess trending [rate (95% confidence intervals)] included a 78 (62-93)% concordance rate in the four-quadrant plot (n=27). In the half moon polar plot (n=19), the mean polar angle was +5°, the radial LOA were -49 to +35° and 68 (47-89)% of data points fell within 22.5° of the mean polar angle. Both tests indicated moderate to poor trending ability. CONCLUSION COLD is not precise when evaluated against COUFP in sheep based on the statistical criteria set, but the results are comparable with previously published animal studies.

Abstract
Introduction The reliability of pulse pressure analysis to estimate cardiac output is known to be affected by arterial load changes. However, the contribution of each aspect of arterial load could be substantially different. In this study, we evaluated the agreement of eight non-commercial algorithms of pulse pressure analysis for estimating cardiac output (PPCO) with esophageal Doppler cardiac output (EDCO) during acute changes of arterial load. In addition, we aimed to determine the optimal arterial load parameter that could detect a clinically significant difference between PPCO and the EDCO. Methods We included mechanically ventilated patients monitored with a prototype esophageal Doppler (CardioQ-Combi™, Deltex Medical, Chichester, UK) and an indwelling arterial catheter who received a fluid challenge or in whom the vasoactive medication was introduced or modified. Initial calibration of PPCO was made with the baseline value of EDCO. We evaluated several aspects of arterial load: total systemic vascular resistance (TSVR = mean arterial pressure [MAP]/EDCO * 80), net arterial compliance (C = EDCO-derived stroke volume/pulse pressure), and effective arterial elastance (Ea = 0.9 * systolic blood pressure/EDCO-derived stroke volume). We compared CO values with Bland-Altman analysis, four-quadrant plot and a modified polar plot (with least significant change analysis). Results A total of 16,964-paired measurements in 53 patients were performed (median 271; interquartile range: 180-415). Agreement of all PPCO algorithms with EDCO was significantly affected by changes in arterial load, although the impact was more pronounced during changes in vasopressor therapy. When looking at different parameters of arterial load, the predictive abilities of Ea and C were superior to TSVR and MAP changes to detect a PPCO-EDCO discrepancy ≥ 10% in all PPCO algorithms. An absolute Ea change > 8.9 ± 1.7% was associated with a PPCO-EDCO discrepancy ≥ 10% in most algorithms. Conclusions Changes in arterial load profoundly affected the agreement of PPCO and EDCO, although the contribution of each aspect of arterial load to the PPCO-EDCO discrepancies was significantly different. Changes in Ea and C mainly determined PPCO-EDCO discrepancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Both angiotensin system inhibitor (ASI) use and heparin are associated with hypotension. This study attempted to determine whether preoperative ASI therapy affected the hemodynamic response to heparin administered to patients undergoing cardiac surgery. DESIGN Sixty-two patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery requiring full (300 units/kg) systemic heparinization were studied prospectively. Thirty-three patients were receiving preoperative ASI therapy, whereas 29 patients were not. Anesthetic technique and mechanical ventilation parameters were standardized. Hemodynamics were recorded at 3 time points: baseline (just before the administration of heparin), 1-minute post-heparin administration, and 4-minute post-heparin administration. SETTING Single university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The 2 groups were similar regarding preoperative demographics and baseline hemodynamics. Baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP) in non-ASI patients was 82.0 mmHg, and it decreased significantly to 76.3 mmHg (1 min; p<0.05) and 70.7 mmHg (4 min; p<0.05) following heparin administration. MAP values in ASI patients were 81.9 mmHg, 81.8 mmHg, and 76.8 mmHg at baseline, 1-minute post-heparin, and 4-minute post-heparin administration, respectively (changes not significant).Within-group analysis revealed that non-ASI patients experienced significant decrease in MAP at 1-minute (-6.6%, p = 0.01) and 4-minute (-13.0%, p = 0.0011) post-heparin administration, whereas ASI patients did not (+1.9%, p = 0.52; -3.8%, p = 0.16, respectively). Between-group analysis revealed that differences in MAP values at 1 minute were significant (p = 0.03), whereas differences at 4 minutes were not significant (p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This prospective clinical study indicated that preoperative ASI therapy until the day before surgery may attenuate heparin-induced hypotension. Definitive mechanistic insight requires further clinical study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new calibrated pulse wave analysis method (VolumeView™/EV1000™, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) has been developed to continuously monitor cardiac output (CO). The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the VolumeView method, and of the PiCCO2™ pulse contour method (Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany), with reference transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) CO measurements. METHODS This was a prospective, multicentre observational study performed in the surgical and interdisciplinary intensive care units of four tertiary hospitals. Seventy-two critically ill patients were monitored with a central venous catheter, and a thermistor-tipped femoral arterial VolumeView™ catheter connected to the EV1000™ monitor. After initial calibration by TPTD CO was continuously assessed using the VolumeView-CCO software (CCO(VolumeView)) during a 72 h period. TPTD was performed in order to obtain reference CO values (COREF). TPTD and arterial wave signals were transmitted to a PiCCO2™ monitor in order to obtain CCO(PiCCO) values. CCO(VolumeView) and CCO(PiCCO) were recorded over a 5 min interval before assessment of CO(TPTD). Bland-Altman analysis, %(errors), and concordance (trend analysis) were calculated. RESULTS A total of 338 matched sets of data were available for comparison. Bias for CCO(VolumeView)-CO(REF) was -0.07 litre min(-1) and for CCO(PiCCO)-CO(REF) +0.03 litre min(-1). Corresponding limits of agreement were 2.00 and 2.48 litre min(-1) (P<0.01), %(errors) 29 and 37%, respectively. Trending capabilities were comparable for both techniques. CONCLUSIONS The performance of the new VolumeView™-CCO method is as reliable as the PiCCO2™-CCO pulse wave analysis in critically ill patients. However, an improved precision was observed with the VolumeView™ technique. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT01405040.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In managing patients with unstable hemodynamics, monitoring cardiac output (CO) can provide critical diagnostic data. However, conventional CO measurements are invasive, intermittent, and/or inaccurate. The purpose of this study was to validate our newly developed CO monitoring system. METHODS This system automatically determines peak velocity of the ascending aortic flow using continuous-wave Doppler transthoracic echocardiography and estimates cardiac ejection time and aortic cross-sectional area using the pulse contour of the radial arterial pressure. These parameters are continuously processed to estimate CO (CO(est)). In 10 anesthetized closed-chest dogs instrumented with an aortic flowprobe to measure reference CO (CO(ref)), hemodynamic conditions were varied over wide ranges by infusing cardiovascular drugs or by random atrial pacing. Under each condition, CO(ref) and CO(est) were determined. Absolute changes of CO(ref) (ΔCOref) and CO(est) (ΔCO(est)), and relative changes of CO(ref) (%ΔCO(ref)) and CO(est) (%ΔCO(est)) from the corresponding baseline values were determined in each animal. We calibrated CO(est) against CO(ref) to obtain proportionally scaled CO(est) (CO(est)(N)). RESULTS A total of 1335 datasets of CO(ref) and CO(est) were obtained, in which CO(ref) ranged from 0.17 to 5.34 L/min. Bland-Altman analysis between CO(ref) and CO(est) indicated that the limits of agreement (the bias ± 1.96 × SD of the difference) and the percentage error (1.96 × [SD of the difference]/[mean CO] × 100) were from -1.01 to 1.13 L/min (95% confidence interval, -1.76 to 1.88 L/min) and 43%, respectively. The agreement between CO(ref) and CO(est)(N) was improved, with limits of agreement from -0.53 to 0.49 L/min (95% confidence interval, -0.62 to 0.59 L/min) and the percentage error of 20%. Polar plot analysis between ΔCO(ref) and ΔCO(est) indicated that mean ± 1.96 × SD of polar angle was -2° ± 22°. Four quadrant plot analysis indicated that %ΔCO(est) correlated tightly with %ΔCO(ref) (R(2) = 0.93). The %ΔCO(est) and %ΔCO(ref) changed in the same direction in 95% of the datasets. Reliability of this system was well preserved under conditions of random atrial pacing and also in a continuous manner. CONCLUSION Over a wide range of hemodynamic conditions, irrespective of cardiac beat irregularity, this system may allow minimally invasive monitoring of CO with a good trending ability. The present results warrant further research and development of this system for future clinical application.

Abstract
Hemodynamic monitoring and management has greatly improved during the past decade. Technologies have evolved from very invasive to non-invasive, and the philosophy has shifted from a static approach to a functional approach. However, despite these major changes, the critical care community still has potential to improve its ability to adopt the most modern standards of research methodology in order to more effectively evaluate new monitoring systems and their impact on patient outcome. Today, despite the huge enthusiasm raised by new hemodynamic monitoring systems, there is still a big gap between clinical research studies evaluating these monitors and clinical practice. A few studies, especially in the perioperative period, have shown that hemodynamic monitoring systems coupled with treatment protocols can improve patient outcome. These trials are small and, overall, the corpus of science related to this topic does not yet fit the standard of clinical research methodology encountered in other specialties such as cardiology and oncology. Larger randomized trials or quality improvement processes will probably answer questions related to the real impact of these systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE Appropriate adjustment of cardiac preload is essential to maintain cardiac output (CO), especially in patients after cardiac surgery. This study was intended to determine whether index of right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDVI), corrected RVEDVI using ejection fraction (cRVEDVI), index of initial distribution volume of glucose (IDVGI), or cardiac filling pressures are correlated with cardiac index (CI) following cardiac surgery in the presence or absence of arrhythmias. METHODS Eighty-six consecutive cardiac surgical patients were studied. Patients were divided into two groups: the non-arrhythmia (NA) group (n = 72) and the arrhythmia (A) group (n = 14). Three sets of measurements were performed: on admission to the ICU and daily on the first 2 postoperative days. The relationship between each cardiac preload variable and cardiac index (CI) was evaluated. A p value less than 0.05 indicated statistically significant differences. RESULTS Each studied variable was not different between the two groups immediately after admission to the ICU. cRVEDVI had a linear correlation with CI in both group (NA group: r = 0.67, n = 216, p < 0.001; A group: r = 0.77, n = 42, p < 0.001), but RVEDVI had a poor correlation with CI (NA group: r = 0.27, n = 216, p < 0.001; A group: r = 0.19, n = 42, p = 0.036). IDVGI had a linear correlation with CI (NA group: r = 0.49, n = 216, p < 0.001; A group: r = 0.61, n = 42, p < 0.001), Cardiac filling pressures had no correlation with CI. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that cRVEDVI and IDVGI were correlated with CI in the presence or absence of arrhythmias. cRVEDVI and IDVGI have potential as indirect cardiac preload markers following cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with lung failure who undergo prone positioning often receive extended hemodynamic monitoring. We investigated the influence of modified prone positioning (135°) on the accuracy of pulse contour-derived calibrated cardiac index (CIPC) and uncalibrated cardiac index (CIVIG) in this patient population with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) as reference technique. METHODS We studied 16 critically ill and mechanically ventilated patients (11 men, 5 women, aged 20-71 years) with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Patients were monitored by TPTD with an integrated calibrated pulse contour technique (PiCCO®) and by uncalibrated pulse contour analysis (FloTrac/Vigileo™). Before prone positioning, cardiac index (given in L·min(-1)·m(-2)) was measured by TPTD (CITPTD) and CIPC was calibrated. After positioning, CIPC and CIVIG were read from the monitor and CITPTD was measured. After 8 to 10 hours, prone positioning was completed and measurements were performed analogously. Bland-Altman analysis based on a random-effects model was used to calculate limits of agreement (LOA) and percentage errors. Polar plots were used for trend analysis. RESULTS Supine CITPTD was 3.3 ± 0.9 (mean ± SD) and CIVIG was 3.1 ± 0.8. After proning, CIPC was 3.5 ± 0.8, CIVIG 3.3 ± 0.8, and CITPTD 3.6 ± 0.8. Before repositioning, CITPTD was 3.5 ± 0.7 and CIVIG 3.3 ± 1.0. After repositioning, CITPTD was 3.1 ± 0.7, CIPC 3.3 ± 0.7, and CIVIG 2.9 ± 0.6. Mean bias pooled for proning and repositioning was -0.1 (LOA -0.7 to 0.6) for CIPC (percentage error 19%) and 0.3 (LOA -1.3 to 1.9) for CIVIG (percentage error 48%). Changes in CI were too small for trending analysis. CONCLUSION Although calibrated CI measurements are only marginally influenced by prone positioning, according to the criteria of Critchley and Critchley, uncalibrated CI values show a degree of error, too high to be considered clinically acceptable.

Abstract
Background Cardiac output (CO) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) are two important parameters of the cardiovascular system. The ability to measure these parameters continuously and noninvasively may assist in diagnosing and monitoring patients with suspected cardiovascular diseases, or other critical illnesses. In this study, a method is proposed to estimate both the CO and SVR of a heterogeneous cohort of intensive care unit patients (N=48). Methods Spectral and morphological features were extracted from the finger photoplethysmogram, and added to heart rate and mean arterial pressure as input features to a multivariate regression model to estimate CO and SVR. A stepwise feature search algorithm was employed to select statistically significant features. Leave-one-out cross validation was used to assess the generalized model performance. The degree of agreement between the estimation method and the gold standard was assessed using Bland-Altman analysis. Results The Bland-Altman bias ±precision (1.96 times standard deviation) for CO was -0.01 ±2.70 L min-1 when only photoplethysmogram (PPG) features were used, and for SVR was -0.87 ±412 dyn.s.cm-5 when only one PPG variability feature was used. Conclusions These promising results indicate the feasibility of using the method described as a non-invasive preliminary diagnostic tool in supervised or unsupervised clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure recording analytical method (PRAM) is a novel, arterial pulse contour-based method for measuring cardiac output (CO). Validation studies of PRAM in children are few, and have not assessed both absolute accuracy and ability to track changes in CO across a broad case mix. We aimed to compare CO as measured by PRAM with that using a transpulmonary dilution method in a cohort of critically ill children. METHODS Forty-eight, mechanically ventilated children with a median (inter-quartile) weight of 10.7 (5.5-15) kg with arterial and central venous catheters in situ were studied. CO was measured simultaneously using PRAM and the comparator method, transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (UD). Measurements were repeated before and after therapeutic interventions that were intended to augment CO (e.g. fluid bolus). RESULTS In total, 210 paired measurements were compared. The mean (sd) CO was 1.9 (1.2) litre min(-1) with UD when compared with 1.92 (0.5) litre min(-1) using PRAM. The mean bias was 0.02 litre min(-1) with wide limits of agreement: ± 2.21 litre min(-1), giving a percentage error of 116%. The concordance between PRAM and UD for measuring changes in CO was also poor, with only 37% of measurements falling within the pre-defined polar plot limits of ±30°. CONCLUSIONS There is an unacceptably poor agreement between UD and PRAM. We do not recommend the use of PRAM for measuring CO in critically ill children with the current algorithm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Goal-directed fluid therapy improves outcome in major surgery. We evaluated a new device (LiDCOrapid) against our standard oesophageal Doppler method (ODM) for stroke volume (SV) optimization during colorectal surgery. METHODS This was an observational study in 20 patients undergoing major colorectal surgery within a fast-track protocol. We compared SV values measured simultaneously by LiDCOrapid and ODM before and after 86 fluid challenges. We also evaluated the LiDCOrapid dynamic indices SV variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) as predictors for volume responsiveness, defined as an increase in SV ≥ 10% after 200 ml of colloid. RESULTS SV increased ≥ 10% after 27 out of 86 fluid challenges. For 172 paired SV values, the overall correlation was r=0.39, and bias (limits of agreement) -28 (-91-35) ml, percentage error 70%. The ability of LiDCOrapid to track changes in SV was weak with a concordance rate of 80%, and a sensitivity and specificity of 48% and 81%, respectively, to detect a positive fluid challenge. The area under the curve values (with 95% confidence intervals) for SVV and PPV were 0.72 (0.60-0.83) and 0.66 (0.52-0.79), respectively, indicating low predictive capacity in these setting. CONCLUSIONS LiDCOrapid and ODM devices are not interchangeable. We cannot recommend that the LiDCOrapid replace the standard Doppler method until further device-specific outcome studies on volume optimization are available. The dynamic indices SVV and PPV add little value to a fluid optimization protocol, and should not replace SV measurements with a validated technique.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW A number of less-invasive haemodynamic monitoring devices have been introduced in recent years, largely replacing the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) as a standard monitoring tool. Apart from tracking cardiac output (CO), these monitors provide additional haemodynamic parameters. The aim of this article is to review the most widely used less-invasive monitoring modalities, their technical characteristics and limitations regarding their clinical performance. RECENT FINDINGS The utilization of CO monitoring in the perioperative setting has been shown to be associated with improved outcomes if integrated into a haemodynamic optimization strategy. These findings provide the basis of recent recommendations for perioperative monitoring. SUMMARY An array of monitoring modalities have been introduced that can reliably track CO in the perioperative setting and make the PAC dispensable in most clinical situations. In order to be used safely and efficiently, knowledge regarding the inherent monitoring techniques and their limitations, their clinical validity and the utility of the parameters provided is crucial.

Abstract
Background The applicability of pulse pressure variation (ΔPP) to predict fluid responsiveness using lung-protective ventilation strategies is uncertain in clinical practice. We designed this study to evaluate the accuracy of this parameter in predicting the fluid responsiveness of septic patients ventilated with low tidal volumes (TV) (6 ml kg−1). Methods Forty patients after the resuscitation phase of severe sepsis and septic shock who were mechanically ventilated with 6 ml kg−1 were included. The ΔPP was obtained automatically at baseline and after a standardized fluid challenge (7 ml kg−1). Patients whose cardiac output increased by more than 15% were considered fluid responders. The predictive values of ΔPP and static variables [right atrial pressure (RAP) and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP)] were evaluated through a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Thirty-four patients had characteristics consistent with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome and were ventilated with high levels of PEEP [median (inter-quartile range) 10.0 (10.0–13.5)]. Nineteen patients were considered fluid responders. The RAP and PAOP significantly increased, and ΔPP significantly decreased after volume expansion. The ΔPP performance [ROC curve area: 0.91 (0.82–1.0)] was better than that of the RAP [ROC curve area: 0.73 (0.59–0.90)] and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure [ROC curve area: 0.58 (0.40–0.76)]. The ROC curve analysis revealed that the best cut-off for ΔPP was 6.5%, with a sensitivity of 0.89, specificity of 0.90, positive predictive value of 0.89, and negative predictive value of 0.90. Conclusions Automatized ΔPP accurately predicted fluid responsiveness in septic patients ventilated with low TV.

Abstract
External leg compression (ELC) may increase cardiac output (CO) in fluid-responsive patients like passive leg raising (PLR). We compared the hemodynamic effects of two methods of ELC and PLR measured by thermodilution (COtd), pressure curve analysis Modelflow™ (COmf) and ultra-sound HemoSonic™ (COhs), to evaluate the method with the greatest hemodynamic effect and the most accurate less invasive method to measure that effect. We compared hemodynamic effects of two different ELC methods (circular, A (n = 16), vs. wide, B (n = 13), bandages inflated to 30 cm H2O for 15 min) with PLR prior to each ELC method, in 29 post-operative cardiac surgical patients. Hemodynamic responses were measured with COtd, COmf and COhs. PLR A increased COtd from 6.1 ± 1.7 to 6.3 ± 1.8 L·min(-1) (P = 0.016), and increased COhs from 4.9 ± 1.5 to 5.3 ± 1.6 L·min(-1) (P = 0.001), but did not increase COmf. ELC A increased COtd from 6.4 ± 1.8 to 6.7 ± 1.9 L·min(-1) (P = 0.001) and COmf from 6.9 ± 1.7 to 7.1 ± 1.8 L·min(-1) (P = 0.021), but did not increase COhs. ELC A increased COtd and COmf as in PLR A. PLR B increased COtd from 5.4 ± 1.3 to 5.8 ± 1.4 L·min(-1) (P < 0.001), and COhs from 5.0 ± 1.0 to 5.4 ± 1.0 L·min(-1) (P = 0.013), but not COmf. ELC B increased COtd from 5.2 ± 1.2 to 5.4 ± 1.1 L·min(-1) (P = 0.003), but less than during PLR B (P = 0.012), while COmf and COhs did not change. Bland-Altman and polar plots showed lower limits of agreement with changes in COtd for COmf than for COhs. The circular leg compression increases CO more than bandage compression, and is able to increase CO as in PLR. The less invasive Modelflow™ can detect these changes reasonably well.

Abstract
Introduction The Nexfin device estimates arterial pressure by the volume clamp method through a finger pneumatic cuff. It also allows to estimate cardiac index (CInoninv) by pulse contour analysis of the non-invasive arterial pressure curve. We evaluated the ability of the device to track changes in cardiac index induced by a fluid challenge. Methods We included 45 patients for whom a volume expansion (500 mL of saline infused over 30 min) was planned. The volume expansion-induced changes in cardiac index measured by transpulmonary thermodilution (CIinv, PiCCO device) and in CInoninv were recorded. Results In seven patients, the Nexfin could not record the arterial curve due to finger hypoperfusion. Considering both the values obtained before and after volume expansion (n = 76 pairs of measurements), the bias (lower and upper limits of agreement) between CIinv and CInoninv was 0.2 (-1.8 to 2.2) L/min/m2. The mean change in CInoninv was 10 ± 11%. The percentage error of CInoninv was 57%. The correlation between the changes in CIinv and CInoninv observed during volume expansion was significant (P = 0.0002) with an r2 = 0.31. Conclusions The estimation of CI by the Nexfin device in critically ill patients is not reliable, neither for estimating absolute values of CI nor for tracking its changes during volume expansion.

Abstract
Previous studies have determined that premenopausal women exhibit an attenuated metaboreflex; however, little is known about sex specificity of the mechanoreflex. Thus, we sought to determine if sex differences exist in the central and peripheral hemodynamic responses to passive limb movement. Second-by-second measurements of heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure, and femoral artery blood flow (FBF) were recorded during 3 min of supine passive knee extension in 24 young healthy subjects (12 women and 12 men). Normalization of CO and stroke volume to body surface area, expressed as cardiac index and stroke index, eliminated differences in baseline central hemodynamics, whereas, peripherally, basal FBF and femoral vascular conductance were similar between the sexes. In response to passive limb movement, women displayed significantly attenuated peak central hemodynamic responses compared with men (heart rate: 9.0 ± 1 vs. 14.8 ± 2% change, stroke index: 4.5 ± 0.6 vs. 7.8 ± 1.2% change, cardiac index: 9.6 ± 1 vs. 17.2 ± 2% change, all P < 0.05), whereas movement induced similar increases in peak FBF (167 ± 32 vs. 193 ± 17% change) and femoral vascular conductance (172 ± 31 vs. 203 ± 16% change) in both sexes (women vs. men, respectively). Additionally, there was a significant positive relationship between individual peak FBF and peak CO response to passive movement in men but not in women. Thus, although both sexes exhibited similar movement-induced hyperemia and peripheral vasodilatory function, the central hemodynamic response was blunted in women, implying an attenuated mechanoreflex. Therefore, this study reveals that, as already recognized with the metaboreflex, there is likely a sex-specific attenuation of the mechanoreflex in women.

Abstract
Electrical cardiometry (EC) is a non-invasive cardiac output method that can assess cardiac index (CI) and stroke index (SI) but there are no reference values for children per se. The primary aim of this study was to develop reference values for clinical application. The secondary aim was to compare the EC measurements to published values. We performed a prospective observational study in patients (<21 years of age) without structural heart disease who had recovered from an acute illness. EC recordings in children that had normal heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure at discharge were eligible for analysis. The relationship of CI or SI and age in children was performed by regression analysis. Similar analysis was performed comparing measurements by EC to cardiac parameters values compiled from reference sources to assess bias in EC. Eighty-three children (2 weeks-21 years of age) were studied. There was a significant curvilinear relationship between CI or SI and age by EC (F-test, p < 0.05). Regression curves of cardiac parameters reported in the literature using 6 Fick's method, thermodilution, echocardiography and cardiac MRI were the same or higher than (0-19.6 %) values obtained with EC, with higher values being statistically significant (p < 0.05 all). There is a curvilinear relationship of CI or SI and age by EC in normal children. Cardiac parameters reported in the literature using alternative methods are different from those obtained with EC but are within acceptable ranges, with EC biased to underestimate CI. Adjustment of target value is required for EC goal-directed therapies.

Abstract
This article reviews potential pediatric applications of 3 new technologies. (1) Pulse oximetry-based hemoglobin determination: Hemoglobin determination using spectrophotometric methods recently has been introduced in adults with varied success. This non-invasive and continuous technology may avoid venipuncture and unnecessary transfusion in children undergoing surgery with major blood loss, premature infants undergoing unexpected and complicated emergency surgery, and children with chronic illness. (2) Continuous cardiac output monitoring: In adults, advanced hemodynamic monitoring such as continuous cardiac output monitoring has been associated with better surgical outcomes. Although it remains unknown whether similar results are applicable to children, current technology enables the monitoring of cardiac output non-invasively and continuously in pediatric patients. It may be important to integrate the data about cardiac output with other information to facilitate therapeutic interventions. (3) Anesthesia information management systems: Although perioperative electronic anesthesia information management systems are gaining popularity in operating rooms, their potential functions may not be fully appreciated. With advances in information technology, anesthesia information management systems may facilitate bedside clinical decisions, administrative needs, and research in the perioperative setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The esCCO monitor (ECG- estimated Continuous Cardiac Output, Nihon Kohden(®)) is a new non-invasive tool for estimating cardiac output (CO). It derives CO from the pulse wave transit time (PWTT) estimated by the ECG and the plethysmographic wave. An initial calibration is needed to refine the relation linking pulse pressure (measured by arterial pressure cuff) to PWTT. To assess the accuracy and reliability of the esCCO system, we performed an analysis of agreement of CO values obtained by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). METHODS Thirty-eight intensive care unit patients were prospectively included. CO was determined simultaneously using esCCO (CO(esCCO)) and TTE (CO(TTE)) as our reference method. RESULTS A total of 103 paired readings from 38 patients were collected. The correlation coefficient between CO(esCCO) and CO(TTE) was 0.61 (P<0.001). The Bland and Altman analysis corrected for repeated measures showed a bias of -1.6 litre min(-1) and limits of agreement from -4.7 to +1.5 litre min(-1), with a percentage error (2 sd/mean CO) of 49%. The correlation for CO changes was significant (R=0.63, P<0.001), but the concordance rate was poor (73%). Polar plot analysis showed an angular bias of -9° with radial limits of agreement from -54° to +36°. The bias appeared to correlate with systemic vascular resistance (R=-0.45, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS In critically ill patients, the performance of the esCCO monitor was not clinically acceptable, and this monitor cannot be recommended in this setting. Moreover, the esCCO failed to trend CO data reliably.

Abstract
A new non-invasive continuous cardiac output (esCCO) monitoring system solely utilizing a routine cardiovascular monitor was developed, even though a reference cardiac output (CO) is consistently required. Subsequently, a non-invasive patient information CO calibration together with a new automated exclusion algorithm was implemented in the esCCO system. We evaluated the accuracy and trending ability of the new esCCO system. Either operative or postoperative data of a multicenter study in Japan for evaluation of the accuracy of the original version of esCCO system were used to develop the new esCCO system. A total of 207 patients, mostly cardiac surgical patients, were enrolled in the study. Data were manually reviewed to formulate a new automated exclusion algorithm with enhanced accuracy. Then, a new esCCO system based on a patient information calibration together with the automated exclusion algorithm was developed. CO measured with a new esCCO system was compared with the corresponding intermittent bolus thermodilution CO (ICO) utilizing statistical methods including polar plots analysis. A total of 465 sets of CO data obtained using the new esCCO system were evaluated. The difference in the CO value between the new esCCO and ICO was 0.34 ± 1.50 (SD) L/min (95 % confidence limits of -2.60 to 3.28 L/min). The percentage error was 69.6 %. Polar plots analysis showed that the mean polar angle was -1.6° and radial limits of agreement were ±53.3°. This study demonstrates that the patient information calibration is clinically useful as ICO, but trending ability of the new esCCO system is not clinically acceptable as judged by percentage error and polar plots analysis, even though it's trending ability is comparable with currently available arterial waveform analysis methods.

Abstract
Uncalibrated semi-invasive continous monitoring of cardiac index (CI) has recently gained increasing interest. The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of CI determination based on arterial waveform analysis with transpulmonary thermodilution. Fifty patients scheduled for elective coronary surgery were studied after induction of anaesthesia and before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), respectively. Each patient was monitored with a central venous line, the PiCCO system, and the FloTrac/Vigileo-system. Measurements included CI derived by transpulmonary thermodilution and uncalibrated semi-invasive pulse contour analysis. Percentage changes of CI were calculated. There was a moderate, but significant correlation between pulse contour CI and thermodilution CI both before (r2 = 0.72, P < 0.0001) and after (r2 = 0.62, P < 0.0001) CPB, with a percentage error of 31% and 25%, respectively. Changes in pulse contour CI showed a significant correlation with changes in thermodilution CI both before (r2 = 0.52, P < 0.0001) and after (r2 = 0.67, P < 0.0001) CPB. Our findings demonstrated that uncalibrated semi-invasive monitoring system was able to reliably measure CI compared with transpulmonary thermodilution in patients undergoing elective coronary surgery. Furthermore, the semi-invasive monitoring device was able to track haemodynamic changes and trends.
