Abstract
BACKGROUND The capnodynamic method, based on Volumetric capnography and differential Fick mathematics, assess cardiac output in mechanically ventilated subjects. Capnodynamic and established hemodynamic monitoring parameters' capability to depict alterations in blood volume were investigated in a model of standardized hemorrhage, followed by crystalloid and blood transfusion. METHODS Ten anesthetized piglets were subjected to controlled hemorrhage (450 mL), followed by isovolemic crystalloid bolus and blood re-transfusion. Intravascular blood volume, and all hemodynamic variables, were determined twice after each intervention. The investigated hemodynamic variables were: cardiac output and stroke volume for capnodynamics and pulse contour analysis, respectively, pulse pressure and stroke volume variability and mean arterial pressure. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for multiple comparisons were used to identify significant changes. Trending was assessed by correlation and concordance. RESULT Concordance against intravascular volume changes for capnodynamic cardiac output and stroke volume were 96 and 94%, with correlations r = .78 and .68, (p < .0001) with significant changes for 6 and 5 of the 6 measuring points, respectively. Mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure variation had a concordance of 85% and 87%, r = .67 (p < .0001) and r = -.45 (p < .0001), respectively, and both changed significantly for 3 of 6 measuring points. Pulse contour stroke volume variation, stroke volume and cardiac output, showed concordance and correlation of 76%, r = -.18 (p = .11), 63%, r = .28 (p = .01) and 50%, r = .31 (p = .007), respectively and significant change for 1, 1 and 0 of the measuring points, respectively. CONCLUSION Capnodynamic cardiac output and stroke volume did best depict the changes in intravascular blood volume. Pulse contour parameters did not follow volume changes in a reliable way.

Abstract
Hemodynamic monitoring in children is challenging for many reasons. Technical limitations in combination with insufficient validation against reference methods, makes reliable monitoring systems difficult to establish. Since recent studies have highlighted perioperative cardiovascular stability as an important factor for patient outcome in pediatrics, the need for accurate hemodynamic monitoring methods in children is obvious. The development of mathematical processing of fast response mainstream capnography signals, has allowed for the development of capnodynamic hemodynamic monitoring. By inducing small changes in ventilation in intubated and mechanically ventilated patients, fluctuations in alveolar carbon dioxide are created. The subsequent changes in carbon dioxide elimination can be used to calculate the blood flow participating in gas exchange, i.e., effective pulmonary blood flow which equals the non-shunted pulmonary blood flow. Cardiac output can then be estimated and continuously monitored in a breath-by-breath fashion without the need for additional equipment, training, or calibration. In addition, the method allows for mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) monitoring, without pulmonary artery catheterization. The current review will discuss the capnodyamic method and its application and limitation as well as future potential development and functions in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Recent studies have identified stable hemodynamics as a contributing factor to improve outcome in pediatric anesthesia. So far, most of the hemodynamic monitoring methods applied in children have been complex to apply and often not satisfactory validated. Standard mainstream carbon dioxide analysis in combination with real-time mathematical analysis of the measured capnography data has enabled the development of dynamic capnography, a non-invasively cardiac output monitoring method that can be applied without user practice or need for calibrations. Capnodynamic cardiac output assessment has been extensively validated against gold standard reference methods, both in experimental and clinical settings. This review will describe the principle behind dynamic capnography measurement of cardiac output and mixed venous oxygen saturation. Additionally, the methods limitations and challenges when applied in children will be delineated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is the basis of goal-directed treatment for major abdominal surgery. A capnodynamic method estimating cardiac output (COEPBF) by continuously calculating nonshunted pulmonary blood flow has previously shown good agreement and trending ability when evaluated in mechanically ventilated pigs. OBJECTIVES To compare the performance of the capnodynamic method of CO monitoring with transpulmonary thermodilution (COTPTD) in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. DESIGN Prospective, observational, method comparison study. Simultaneous measurements of COEPBF and COTPTD were performed before incision at baseline and before and after increased (+10 cmH2O) positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), activation of epidural anaesthesia and intra-operative events of hypovolemia and low CO. The first 25 patients were ventilated with PEEP 5 cmH2O (PEEP5), while in the last 10 patients, lung recruitment followed by individual PEEP adjustment (PEEPadj) was performed before protocol start. SETTING Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. PATIENTS In total, 35 patients (>18 years) scheduled for major abdominal surgery with advanced hemodynamic monitoring were included in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AND ANALYSIS Agreement and trending ability between COEPBF and COTPTD at different clinical moments were analysed with Bland--Altman and four quadrant plots. RESULTS In total, 322 paired values, 227 in PEEP5 and 95 in PEEPadj were analysed. Respectively, the mean COEPBF and COTPTD were 4.5 ± 1.0 and 4.8 ± 1.1 in the PEEP5 group and 4.9 ± 1.2 and 5.0 ± 1.0 l min-1 in the PEEPadj group. Mean bias (levels of agreement) and percentage error (PE) were -0.2 (-2.2 to 1.7) l min-1 and 41% for the PEEP5 group and -0.1 (-1.7 to 1.5) l min-1 and 31% in the PEEPadj group. Concordance rates during changes in COEPBF and COTPTD were 92% in the PEEP5 group and 90% in the PEEPadj group. CONCLUSION COEPBF provides continuous noninvasive CO estimation with acceptable performance, which improved after lung recruitment and PEEP adjustment, although not interchangeable with COTPTD. This method may become a tool for continuous intra-operative CO monitoring during general anaesthesia in the future. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03444545.

Abstract
Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) is an important variable in anesthesia and intensive care but currently requires pulmonary artery catheterization. Recently, non-invasive determination of SvO2 (Capno-SvO2) using capnodynamics has shown good agreement against CO-oximetry in an animal model of modest hemodynamic changes. The purpose of the current study was to validate Capno-SvO2 against CO-oximetry during major alterations in oxygen delivery. Furthermore, evaluating fiberoptic SvO2 for its response to the same challenges. Eleven mechanically ventilated pigs were exposed to oxygen delivery changes: increased inhaled oxygen concentration, hemorrhage, crystalloid and blood transfusion, preload reduction and dobutamine infusion. Capno-SvO2 and fiberoptic SvO2 recordings were made in parallel with CO-oximetry. Respiratory quotient, needed for capnodynamic SvO2, was measured by analysis of mixed expired gases. Agreement of absolute values between CO-oximetry and Capno-SvO2 and fiberoptic SvO2 respectively, was assessed using Bland–Altman plots. Ability of Capno- SvO2 and fiberoptic SvO2 to detect change compared to CO-oximetry was assessed using concordance analysis.
The interventions caused significant hemodynamic variations. Bias between Capno-SvO2 and CO-oximetry was + 3% points (95% limits of agreements – 7 to + 13). Bias between fiberoptic SvO2 and CO-oximetry was + 1% point, (95% limits of agreements − 7 to + 9). Concordance rate for Capno-SvO2 and fiberoptic SvO2 vs. CO-oximetry was 98% and 93%, respectively. Capno-SvO2 generates absolute values close to CO-oximetry. The performance of Capno-SvO2 vs. CO-oximetry was comparable to the performance of fiberoptic SvO2 vs. CO-oximetry. Capno-SvO2 appears to be a promising tool for non-invasive SvO2 monitoring.

Abstract
Respiratory failure may cause hemodynamic instability with strain on the right ventricle. The capnodynamic method continuously calculates cardiac output (CO) based on effective pulmonary blood flow (COEPBF) and could provide CO monitoring complementary to mechanical ventilation during surgery and intensive care. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the ability of a revised capnodynamic method, based on short expiratory holds (COEPBFexp), to estimate CO during acute respiratory failure (LI) with high shunt fractions before and after compliance-based lung recruitment. Ten pigs were submitted to lung lavage and subsequent ventilator-induced lung injury. COEPBFexp, without any shunt correction, was compared to a reference method for CO, an ultrasonic flow probe placed around the pulmonary artery trunk (COTS) at (1) baseline in healthy lungs with PEEP 5 cmH2O (HLP5), (2) LI with PEEP 5 cmH2O (LIP5) and (3) LI after lung recruitment and PEEP adjustment (LIPadj). CO changes were enforced during LIP5 and LIPadj to estimate trending. LI resulted in changes in shunt fraction from 0.1 (0.03) to 0.36 (0.1) and restored to 0.09 (0.04) after recruitment manoeuvre. Bias (levels of agreement) and percentage error between COEPBFexp and COTS changed from 0.5 (− 0.5 to 1.5) L/min and 30% at HLP5 to − 0.6 (− 2.3 to 1.1) L/min and 39% during LIP5 and finally 1.1 (− 0.3 to 2.5) L/min and 38% at LIPadj. Concordance during CO changes improved from 87 to 100% after lung recruitment and PEEP adjustment. COEPBFexp could possibly be used for continuous CO monitoring and trending in hemodynamically unstable patients with increased shunt and after recruitment manoeuvre.

Abstract
Capnography is a first line monitoring system in mechanically ventilated patients. Volumetric capnography supports noninvasive and breath-by-breath information at the bedside using mainstream CO2 and flow sensors placed at the airways opening. This volume-based capnography provides information of important body functions related to the kinetics of carbon dioxide. Volumetric capnography goes one step forward standard respiratory mechanics and provides a new dimension for monitoring of mechanical ventilation. The article discusses the role of volumetric capnography for the clinical monitoring of mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Background There is continuing interest among clinicians in the potential for advanced hemodynamic monitoring and “goal directed” intravenous fluid administration guided by minimally-invasive cardiac output measurement to reduce complication rates in high risk patients undergoing major surgery. However, the adoption of the available technologies has been limited, due to cost, complexity and reliability of measurements provided. We review progress in the development of new generation methods for continuous non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output from measurement of carbon dioxide elimination in ventilated patients using the Differential Fick method. Main text The history and underlying theoretical basis are described, and its recent further development and implementation using modern generation anesthesia monitoring and delivery systems by two separate but parallel methods, termed “Capnotracking” and “Capnodynamics”. Both methods generate breath-by-breath hands-free cardiac output monitoring from changes in carbon dioxide elimination produced by automatic computerized modulation of respiratory rate delivered by an electronic ventilator. Extensive preclinical validation in animal models of hemodynamic instability, with implanted ultrasonic flow probes for gold standard reference measurements, shows this approach delivers reliable, continuous cardiac output measurement in real time. The accuracy and precision of measurement by the Capnodynamic method were maintained under a wide range of both hemodynamic and respiratory conditions, including inotropic stimulation, vasodilatation, hemorrhage, caval compression, alveolar lavage, changes in tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure, and hypercapnia, with only brief derangement observed in a model of lower body ischemia involving release of prolonged aortic occlusion by an intra-aortic balloon. Phase 2 testing of a Capnotracking system in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and liver transplantation has achieved a percentage error of agreement with thermodilution of +/− 38.7% across a wide range of hemodynamic states. Conclusions Progress in development of these technologies suggest that a robust, automated and reliable method of non-invasive cardiac output monitoring from capnography is close at hand for use in major surgery and critical care. The great advantage of this approach is that it can be fully integrated into the anesthesia machine and ventilator, using components that are already standard in modern anesthesia and intensive care workstations, and should be virtually hands-free and automatic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective pulmonary blood flow (COEPBF) has recently been validated for its ability to measure cardiac output (CO) in children and animals. This study compared COEPBF with the Fick method (COFick) and CO measurements using an invasive pulmonary artery flow probe (COTS). The aim of the study was to validate COEPBF against these reference methods in a porcine model of hypoxia-induced selective pulmonary hypertension. METHODS Ten anaesthetised mechanically ventilated piglets (median weight 23.9 kg) were exposed to a hypoxic gas mixture inducing selective pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension was subsequently reversed with inhaled nitric oxide. Simultaneous recordings of COEPBF, COFick, and COTS were performed throughout the protocol and examined for agreement and trending ability. RESULTS Overall bias (Bland-Altman) between COEPBF and COTS was 0.2 L min-1 (limits of agreement -0.5 and +0.9 L min-1) with a mean percentage error of 25%. Overall bias between COEPBF and COFick was -0.1 L min-1 (limits of agreement -0.9 and +0.6 L min-1) and a mean percentage error of 25%. The concordance rate was 86% for COEPBF when compared with COTS using a 10% exclusion zone. CONCLUSIONS Estimation of CO with COEPBF results in values very close to the gold standard reference methods COFick and COTS. COEPBF appears to be an accurate tool for monitoring absolute values and changes in CO during hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension and inhaled nitric oxide treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective pulmonary blood flow (COEPBF) has recently been validated as a technique for determining cardiac output (CO) in animals of varying sizes. The primary aim of our study was to investigate this new technique in paediatric surgical patients, compared with suprasternal two-dimensional Doppler (COSSD). METHODS A total of 15 children undergoing cleft lip/palate surgery were investigated. Before the start of surgery, manoeuvres that were anticipated to reduce (increase in PEEP from 3 to 10 cm H2O) and increase (atropine) CO were undertaken. A study in mechanically ventilated piglets was also undertaken under general anaesthesia, measuring COEPBF and pulmonary artery (COTS) flow by ultrasonic probe as the comparator. Bias (Bland-Altman plots) and limits of agreement were assessed for effective pulmonary blood flow and COSSD or COTS. RESULTS In paediatric patients (median age 8.5 months), overall bias was -8.1 (limits of agreement -82 to +66) ml kg-1 min-1, with a mean percentage error of 48% and a concordance rate of 64%. In the piglet model, overall bias was -1 (-36 to +38) ml kg-1 min-1, with a mean percentage error of 31% and a concordance rate of 95%. CONCLUSIONS Under controlled experimental conditions, COEPBF is associated with excellent agreement and good trending ability when compared with the gold standard COTS. In the paediatric clinical setting, COEPBF performs well; by contrast, COSSD, an operator- and anatomy-dependent technology, appears less reliable than COEPBF.

Performance of a capnodynamic method estimating effective pulmonary blood flow during transient and sustained hypercapnia. J Clin Monit Comput 2017; 32:311-319. [PMID: 28497180 PMCID: PMC5838142 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-017-0021-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2017] [Accepted: 04/22/2017] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
The capnodynamic method is a minimally invasive method continuously calculating effective pulmonary blood flow (COEPBF), equivalent to cardiac output when intra pulmonary shunt flow is low. The capnodynamic equation joined with a ventilator pattern containing cyclic reoccurring expiratory holds, provides breath to breath hemodynamic monitoring in the anesthetized patient. Its performance however, might be affected by changes in the mixed venous content of carbon dioxide (CvCO2). The aim of the current study was to evaluate COEPBF during rapid measurable changes in mixed venous carbon dioxide partial pressure (PvCO2) following ischemia–reperfusion and during sustained hypercapnia in a porcine model. Sixteen pigs were submitted to either ischemia–reperfusion (n = 8) after the release of an aortic balloon inflated during 30 min or to prolonged hypercapnia (n = 8) induced by adding an instrumental dead space. Reference cardiac output (CO) was measured by an ultrasonic flow probe placed around the pulmonary artery trunk (COTS). Hemodynamic measurements were obtained at baseline, end of ischemia and during the first 5 min of reperfusion as well as during prolonged hypercapnia at high and low CO states. Ischemia–reperfusion resulted in large changes in PvCO2, hemodynamics and lactate. Bias (limits of agreement) was 0.7 (−0.4 to 1.8) L/min with a mean error of 28% at baseline. COEPBF was impaired during reperfusion but agreement was restored within 5 min. During prolonged hypercapnia, agreement remained good during changes in CO. The mean polar angle was −4.19° (−8.8° to 0.42°). Capnodynamic COEPBF is affected but recovers rapidly after transient large changes in PvCO2 and preserves good agreement and trending ability during states of prolonged hypercapnia at different levels of CO.
