Abstract
Background and Aims It is important to predict and prevent post-spinal hypotension in lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Peripheral vascular tone can be monitored as a perfusion index (PI) from a pulse oximeter. We aimed to study baseline PI as a predictor of post-spinal hypotension in LSCS. Material and Methods Prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care teaching public hospital on patients posted for elective LSCS under spinal anesthesia. Baseline PI and hypotension were compared. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results Among 90 females, 43 (47.8%) had a PI ≤3.5 and 47 (52.2%) had a PI >3.5. In the PI >3.5 group, 46 (97.9%) females had hypotension and required a high volume of IV fluids, and 29 (61.7%) required vasopressors, and the association with PI was statistically significant with Pearson's Chi-square values of 32.26 and 32.36, respectively (P = 0.001). In the ROC, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.917, proving baseline PI >2.9 as an excellent classifier (P < 0.0001,95% confidence interval [CI] 0.840-0.965) and can predict hypotension with a sensitivity of 83.08% and specificity of 96.00%. Conclusion Baseline PI >3.5 was associated with significant post-spinal hypotension and vasopressor administration in LSCS. We established baseline PI >2.9 can predict post-spinal hypotension with high sensitivity and specificity. PI is simple, quick, and non-invasive and can be used as a predictor for post-spinal hypotension in parturients undergoing LSCS so that prophylactic measures can be considered in at-risk patients for better maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction Perfusion index (PI) can be detected using a pulse oximeter. Its value decreases in response to noxious stimuli. Here, we investigated its efficacy in detecting hemodynamic responses during endotracheal intubation and extubation. Methods An approval from the institutional ethics committee was obtained along with a written informed consent from the patients involved in this study. A sample size of 30 was calculated. Reading of PI, heart rate, and blood pressures (systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial) were recorded at pre-intubation, post-intubation, during neuromuscular block reversal, pre-extubation and at extubation. Clinically significant heart rate, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean) and PI was defined as increase by >10 bpm, rise by ≥15 bpm and a decrease by ≥10%, respectively, from pre-intubation value. Results Clinically significant change in PI was seen at all intervals with maximum decrease in PI occurring during neuromuscular block reversal (42.6% at the start and 56.7% at the end of neuromuscular block reversal). A negative correlation was noted between PI and the other non-invasive hemodynamic parameters. Conclusion PI decreases on noxious stimuli and correlates negatively with the other non-invasive hemodynamic parameters. Hemodynamic response at neuromuscular block reversal is maximum.

Abstract
Background Hypotension is commonly encountered in patients undergoing lower-segment cesarean section (LSCS) under the subarachnoid block (SAB) owing to decreased vascular resistance caused by the sympathetic blockade and decreased cardiac output because of blood pooling in blocked areas of the body. Perfusion index (PI) is a good indicator of systemic vascular resistance and can foretell hypotension. This study aimed to associate baseline PI with intraoperative hypotension after SAB in LSCS. Methodology This was a prospective observational study with a sample size of 50. The baseline PI was recorded every 10 seconds for one minute in a supine position on the right index finger at room temperature of 26°C to 28°C. The blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at an interval of one minute for three minutes. The mean of PI, BP, and HR were taken as the preoperative value. Spinal anesthesia was administered as per institutional protocol. Hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) <20% of baseline or MAP <60 mmHg was treated with vasopressors. Regression analysis with the Spearman correlation coefficient was done to correlate PI and hypotension. Results The incidence of hypotension in parturients with PI <2.85 was 28.6% (5/20) and in parturients with PI >2.85 was 82.8% (p < 0.001). The requirement of sympathomimetics was higher in parturients with PI >2.85.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.8883. A cut-off PI value of 2.85 can identify parturients at risk for central neuraxial block-induced hypotension with a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 75% (p < 0.001). Conclusions The PI is a useful tool for predicting hypotension in healthy parturients undergoing elective cesarean section under SAB.

Abstract
Aim: This study is to compare the alterations of three different replacement fluids on Perfusion Index, Pleth Variability Index (PI, PVI) and hemodynamic data in cases planned to experience caesarean surgery under spinal anaesthesia.
Material and Method: 94 ASAII class patients aged 18–40 that were planned to experience caesarean surgery were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups according to the fluid replacement to be applied. Patients in Group H received 10 ml/kg of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) up to a maximum of 500 ml over 20 minutes. Patients in Group G got 10 ml/kg of modified liquid gelatin(GEL) up to a maximum of 500 ml over 20 minutes. Patients in Group I got 20 ml/kg of isotonic sodium chloride (0.9% NaCl) over 20 minutes. Routine monitoring and perfusion index, pleth variability index were recorded baseline and at the first, third and tenth min after spinal anaesthesia for all participants
Results: A significant increase in the PI value over time was observed in Groups G and I (p=0.001*). According to the PVI results, the amount of decrease in Group G was statistically less than in the other two groups (p=0.015*).
Conclusion: In conclusion, 0.9% NaCl and gelatine were more effective on PI in caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Isotonic has a positive effect on both PI and PVI. We detected that PI increased compared to baseline values, and believe that this increase may a positive effect on tissue circulation in the patient.

Abstract
Perfusion Index (PI) is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to the non-pulsatile or static blood in the peripheral tissues. It is a new parameter tried for predicting hypotension during spinal anaesthesia. Our aim was to observe Perfusion Index as an early predictor of hypotension under spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective surgeries. In this observational study, 30 patients between the age group of 18-50years and belonged to ASA I and II category were taken. Spinal anaesthesia was performed with 3-4 ml of injection Bupivacaine 0.5% (hyperbaric) at L3–L4 interspace. Following spinal anaesthesia heart rate, blood pressure, and PI were recorded for 30 minutes. Hypotension was defined as fall in the MAP of 20% from the baseline and was treated with fluids, parasympatholytic ± vasopressors. Analysis was performed using software IBM SPSS statistics for windows, Data was presented as mean ± standard deviation. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Regression analysis with Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was done to assess the correlation between baseline PI and hypotension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for PI and occurrence of hypotension.

Abstract
Beyond its use in a clinical environment, photoplethysmogram (PPG) is increasingly used for measuring the physiological state of an individual in daily life. This review aims to examine existing research on photoplethysmogram concerning its generation mechanisms, measurement principles, clinical applications, noise definition, pre-processing techniques, feature detection techniques, and post-processing techniques for photoplethysmogram processing, especially from an engineering point of view. We performed an extensive search with the PubMed, Google Scholar, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases. Exclusion conditions did not include the year of publication, but articles not published in English were excluded. Based on 118 articles, we identified four main topics of enabling PPG: (A) PPG waveform, (B) PPG features and clinical applications including basic features based on the original PPG waveform, combined features of PPG, and derivative features of PPG, (C) PPG noise including motion artifact baseline wandering and hypoperfusion, and (D) PPG signal processing including PPG preprocessing, PPG peak detection, and signal quality index. The application field of photoplethysmogram has been extending from the clinical to the mobile environment. Although there is no standardized pre-processing pipeline for PPG signal processing, as PPG data are acquired and accumulated in various ways, the recently proposed machine learning-based method is expected to offer a promising solution.

Abstract
Background The main mechanism of body temperature decrease during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia is core-to-peripheral redistribution of body heat, attributable to vasodilation. Perfusion index (PI) obtained with a pulse oximeter helps to assess peripheral perfusion dynamics by detecting the change in peripheral vascular tone. This study aimed to examine whether preoperative toe PI could predict the decrease in core temperature induced by spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery. Methods Parturients undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia from September 2019 to March 2020 were enrolled in this single-center prospective cohort study. All parturients received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) with fentanyl (15 μg) intrathecally. A pulse oximeter probe was placed on the left second toe for continuous PI measurement. The 3 M™ Bair Hugger™ Temperature Monitoring System placed over the right temporal region was used to record core temperature over time. We evaluated the association between the maximum core temperature decrease, which is the primary outcome, and the preoperative toe PI at operating room (OR) admission using a segmented regression model (SRM) and a generalized additive model (GAM). The maximum core temperature decrease was defined as the difference between core temperature at OR admission and minimum intraoperative core temperature. Results Forty-eight patients were evaluated. In the SRM, the slope for the association between the maximum core temperature decrease and the preoperative toe PI changed from 0.031 to 0.124 after PI = 2.4%. Likewise, with the GAM, there was a small core temperature decrease when preoperative toe PI was greater than 2.0 to 3.0%. Conclusions Low preoperative toe PI was associated with maternal core temperature decrease during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Preoperative toe PI is a simple, non-invasive, and effective tool for the early prediction of perioperative core temperature decrease during cesarean delivery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate perfusion index (PI) as a noninvasive tool to determine effectiveness and onset of epidural anesthesia in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical trial. ANIMALS A total of 21 adult dogs, aged 6.5 ± 3 years and weighing 34.9 ± 6.4 kg, undergoing a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. METHODS Dogs were premedicated intramuscularly with acepromazine (0.03 mg kg-1) and hydromorphone (0.1 mg kg-1) and anesthetized with intravenous propofol (to effect) and isoflurane in oxygen. A surface transflectance probe was secured to the tail base to monitor PI and a dorsal pedal artery catheter was placed for invasive blood pressure monitoring. A lumbosacral epidural was performed with the dog in sternal recumbency. Dogs were randomly assigned for inclusion of epidural morphine (0.1 mg kg-1) or morphine (0.1 mg kg-1) and lidocaine (4 mg kg-1). PI was recorded following instrumentation of each dog just prior to the epidural (baseline), at 10 minute intervals for 30 minutes, before and after the surgical skin incision and before and after completion of the osteotomy. Physiological variables and end-tidal isoflurane were recorded at the same time points. RESULTS There was no significant difference in PI between the groups at any time point. There was a significant change in end-tidal isoflurane before and after the skin incision in the epidural morphine and epidural morphine-lidocaine groups (p = 0.04, p = 0.05, respectively) and before and after the osteotomy in each group for heart rate (p = 0.001, p = 0.04), diastolic (p = 0.01, p = 0.01) and mean arterial blood pressure (p = 0.03, p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE PI did not provide an objective means for determining the onset or effectiveness of epidural anesthesia in anesthetized dogs and alternate methods of noninvasive assessment should be investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-anaesthetic shivering is frequently preceded by a decrease in peripheral blood flow. Perfusion index is a fast non-invasive method to assess peripheral blood flow, thus might be correlated with post-anaesthetic shivering. AIM To analyse the relationship between preoperative perfusion index and post-anaesthetic shivering in patients undergoing caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia. METHODS In this prospective observational study, preoperative perfusion index measurements were performed on 40 participants who were undergoing elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. Spinal anaesthesia was performed using Lidodex (Lignocaine + Dextrose 5%) at vertebrae L4-L5 or L3-L4 interspace. Shivering was observed until 120 minutes according to the Crossley and Mahajan scale. Statistical analysis was performed to examine the correlation and cut-off of preoperative perfusion index as a predictor for post-anaesthetic shivering. RESULT There was a significant relationship between preoperative perfusion index with the incidence (p = 0.005) and the degree (p = 0.014) of post-anaesthetic shivering. The preoperative perfusion index cut-off value based on the ROC curve was 4.2 (AUC = 0.762, p = 0.002) with a sensitivity of 73.9% and specificity of 88.2%. Participants with preoperative PI < 4.2 had a greater risk of post-anaesthetic shivering (p < 0.001, RR = 3.13). CONCLUSION Preoperative perfusion index less than 4.2 can predict post-anaesthetic shivering in patients undergoing caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia.

Abstract
Postoperative pain in children is usually undertreated because of their inability to complain. While several pain assessment scales have been developed, they have shortcomings such as subjectivity and being observer-dependent. This study aimed to assess the validity of the perfusion index as an objective measure of postoperative pain in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Children aged 3-7 years were enrolled. The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Scale (CHEOPS) was used to assess postoperative pain. The perfusion index was measured at the same time intervals as CHEOPS. The highest CHEOPS before rescue analgesia was administered and CHEOPS when the patients became pain-free were recorded with the corresponding perfusion index. The primary outcome was the correlation between the postoperative CHEOPS and the corresponding postoperative perfusion index. The secondary outcomes were the ability of perfusion index changes to predict the presence of postoperative pain and patients' response to analgesics. The postoperative perfusion index was negatively correlated with CHEOPS at 30 and 90 min postoperatively. The change in the preoperative baseline perfusion index (ΔPI-pre) was moderately correlated with the highest CHEOPS (CHEOPS-1) (r = 0.61, p = 0.001). The change in the postoperative perfusion index (ΔPI-po) was negatively correlated with the change in the CHEOPS (ΔCHEOPS) (r = - 0.53, P = 0.0001). The ΔPI-pre was an excellent predictor of postoperative pain (AUROC 0.83 with 71% sensitivity, 83% specificity, and a cut-off value of ≥ 0.26). The perfusion index is a good objective measure for predicting the presence of postoperative pain in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy under general anesthesia.

Abstract
The mechanism of low back and leg pain involves mixed neuropathic and nociceptive components. Spinal neuropathic pain is related to increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and disrupted and increased permeability of the blood-spinal cord barrier, originally composed of tight junctions of capillary endothelial cells surrounded by lamina. The phase angle (PA) estimates cell membrane integrity using bioelectrical impedance analysis. We evaluated the predictive value of the PA for analgesic efficacy in lumbosacral transforaminal block. We retrospectively collected data from 120 patients receiving transforaminal blocks for lumbosacral radicular pain and assessed the PA before and 5 min following the block. Responders (group R) and non-responders (group N) were defined by ≥50% and <50% pain reduction, respectively, on a numerical rating scale, 30 min following the block; clinical data and the PA were compared. Among the 109 included patients, 50 (45.9%) and 59 (54.1%) had ≥50% and <50% pain reduction, respectively. In group N, the PA change ratio showed 88.1% specificity, 32.0% sensitivity, and 62.4% accuracy; a ratio of <0.087 at 5 min following the block predicted non-response. A PA change ratio of <0.087 at 5 min following lumbar transforaminal blocks predicted non-responders with high specificity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many scoring systems for predicting mortality, rebleeding and transfusion needs among patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) have been developed. However, no scoring system can predict all these outcomes. OBJECTIVE To show whether the perfusion index (PI), compared with the Rockall score (RS), helps predict transfusion needs and prognoses among patients presenting with UGIB in emergency departments. In this way, critical patients with transfusion needs can be identified at an early stage. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective cohort study in an emergency department in Turkey, conducted between June 2018 and June 2019. METHODS Patients' demographic parameters, PI, RS, transfusion needs and prognosis were recorded. RESULTS A total of 219 patients were included. Blood transfusion was performed in 174 patients (79.4%). The PI cutoff value for prediction of the need for blood transfusion was 1.17, and the RS cutoff value was 5. The area under the curve (AUC) value for PI (AUC: 0.772; 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.705-0.838; P < 0.001) was higher than for RS (AUC: 0.648; 95% CI: 0.554-0.741; P = 0.002). 185 patients (84.5%) were discharged, and 34 patients (15.5%) died. The PI cutoff value for predicting mortality was 1.1, and the RS cutoff value was 7. The AUC value for PI (AUC: 0.743; 95% CI: 0.649-0.837; P < 0.001) was higher than for RS (AUC: 0.725; 95% CI: 0.639-0.811; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION PI values for patients admitted to emergency departments with UGIB on admission can help predict their need for transfusion and mortality risk.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Spinal anesthesia has become the choice of neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Hypotension, the most common side effect of spinal anesthesia is more in parturients. Perfusion index (PI) is one of the newest methods, used noninvasively for the prediction of hypotension postspinal anesthesia, evaluation of regional block success, and a tool for pain assessment. In our study, we have used PI for predicting the occurrence of hypotension postsubarachnoid block in elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Methods: In this prospective observational study, parturients posted for elective LSCS under spinal anesthesia were included. Spinal anesthesia was performed at L3-L4 interspace using 25G (gauge) Quincke needle, with 1.8 mL of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine plus 20 μg fentanyl. Hypotension was defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure >25% from the baseline. Statistical Analysis Used: Statistical analysis was performed using the paired sample t-test, Chi-square test, and independent t-test. Results: From our study, we had found that a positive correlation exists between the baseline PI of the patient and the occurrence of hypotension intraoperatively. A cutoff value of 1.75 (with P < 0.001) was found to be significant; above which the occurrence of hypotension was definite. The sensitivity of this cutoff value was 75% and specificity was 71% for this value. Conclusion: Baseline perfusion of >1.75 can predict hypotension postspinal anesthesia in LSCS. The incidence of hypotension was about 93% in parturients whose baseline was above the cutoff value.

Abstract
The perfusion index (PI) is an objective tool used to assess a successful nerve block. Epinephrine is a widely used adjuvant to local anesthetics, and it may affect PI values because of the vasoconstrictive property. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of epinephrine on PI as an indicator of a successful block in ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCBPB). In this randomized controlled trial, 82 adult patients underwent upper limb surgery under SCBPB were recruited between July 2018 and March 2019 in a single tertiary care center. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: non-epinephrine group (n = 41) or epinephrine group (5 mcg ml−1, n = 41). The primary outcome was the comparison of the “PI ratio 10,” which was defined as the ratio of the PI 10 to the baseline. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to determine the accuracy of the PI in predicting the block success at each time interval. The PI ratio 10 was 2.7 (1.9–4.0) in non-epinephrine group and 3.3 (2.2–4.4) in epinephrine group (median difference: 0.4; 95% confidence interval [CI] − 1.1 to 0.2; P = 0.207). The ROC curves compared without group identification were not significantly different over time. The cut-off value for the PI and PI ratio at 5 min (PI ratio 5) were 7.7 (area under the ROC [AUROC]: 0.89, 95% CI 0.83–0.94) and 1.6 (AUROC: 0.94, 95% CI 0.90–0.98), respectively. The perineural epinephrine did not affect the PI following a SCBPB. The PI ratio 5 > 1.6 might be considered as a relatively accurate predictor of a successful SCBPB. Trial registration: This study was registered at the Clinical Trial Registry of Korea (https://cris.nih.go.kr. CriS No. KCT0003006).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The perfusion index (PI) derived from plethysmographic signals provides a noninvasive indication of peripheral perfusion. This study aimed to investigate changes in PI and other hemodynamic variables in pigs subjected to endotoxemia. DESIGN Prospective experimental study. SETTING University teaching hospital. ANIMALS Twelve healthy pigs weighing a mean (± standard deviation [SD]) of 31.7 ± 2.0 kg. INTERVENTIONS Pigs were divided into control and endotoxin groups (n = 6 each). Endotoxemia was induced by IV infusion of lipopolysaccharide. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, cardiac index (CI), central venous pressure, systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), extravascular lung water index (ELWI), Global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) index, and pulmonary permeability index were measured using a transpulmonary thermodilution monitor in all pigs. PI was measured using a pulse oximeter probe attached to the tail. Pao2 , Paco2 , and plasma lactate concentration were measured by blood gas analysis. Measurements were taken at baseline (T0 ). Saline or lipopolysaccharide was then administered for 30 min to all pigs (control or endotoxemia group, respectively), and each parameter was measured every 30 min up to 270 min. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and Student's t-tests. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were no significant changes in any variables in the control group, but CI, SVRI, PI, ELWI, blood lactate concentration, and Pao2 changed significantly from baseline in the endotoxin group (P < 0.001, P = 0.0048, P < 0.001, P = 0.0064, P < 0.001, and P = 0.0220, respectively). In the endotoxin group, mean (± SD) %PI increased from T0 to 154 ± 34% at T60 (P = .001) and 135 ± 50% at T90 (P =0 .004), which mirrored significant changes in %CI and %SVRI. CONCLUSION The PI may be useful to detect changes in CI and SVRI.

Abstract
Despite technical advancements in the perioperative management of cancer surgery, postoperative pain remains a significant clinical issue. We examined the diagnostic value of the intraoperative perfusion index for predicting acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. We retrospectively analyzed data for 105 patients who had undergone laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. Patients with pain scores <7 and ≥7 on a 10-point scale upon arrival in the postoperative anesthesia care unit (PACU) were categorized into the N and P groups, respectively. The perfusion index value was extracted prior to intubation, at the start and end of surgery, and after extubation. To minimize individual variance in the absolute value of the perfusion index, we calculated the perfusion index change ratio. A total of 98 patients were examined. Among them, 50 (51.0%) and 48 (49.0%) patients reported pain scores of <7 and ≥7 upon arrival at the PACU, respectively. Fentanyl consumption during the intraoperative and PACU periods was significantly higher in Group P than in Group N (p < 0.001). The perfusion index change ratios did not significantly differ between the groups. The intraoperative perfusion index change ratios do not correlate with acute postoperative pain following laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
Transforaminal epidural injection is used to treat radicular pain. However, there is no objective method of assessing pain relief following transforaminal injection. Perfusion index is a metric for monitoring peripheral perfusion status. This study evaluates the correlation between perfusion index change and analgesic efficacy in transforaminal blocks for lumbosacral radicular pain. We retrospectively analyzed data of 100 patients receiving transforaminal block for lumbosacral radicular pain. We assessed perfusion index before treatment and at 5, 15, and 30 min following the block. We defined responders (group R) and non-responders (group N) as those with ≥50% and <50% pain reduction, respectively, 30 min following block. Clinical data and perfusion index of the groups were analyzed. Ninety-two patients were examined, of whom 57 (61.9%) and 35 (38.0%) patients reported ≥50% and <50% pain reduction, respectively. Group R had a significantly higher perfusion index change ratio 5 min following the block (p = 0.029). A perfusion index change ratio of ≥0.27 was observed in group R (sensitivity, 75.4%; specificity, 51.4%; AUC (area under the curve), 0.636; p = 0.032). A perfusion index change ratio of ≥0.27 at 5 min after block is associated with, but does not predict improvement in, pain levels following lumbosacral transforaminal block.

Abstract
Background The optimal position for surgery is one in which the patient is provided the best possible surgical intervention and put at minimum risk. Different surgical positions may cause changes in tissue perfusion. This study investigates the relationship between surgical patient positions and perfusion index. Methods A sample of 61 healthy individuals with no peripheral circulatory disorders, chronic diseases, or anemia was included in this study. Participants held six different positions: supine, prone, 45-degree sitting-supine, 45-degree supine with legs lifted, Trendelenburg (45-degrees head down), and reverse Trendelenburg (45-degrees head up). Perfusion index values were then measured and recorded after individuals held their positions for five minutes. Results Participants’ perfusion index values were affected by different body positions (p < 0.05). Perfusion index was lowest in the sitting position (4.5 ± 2.5) and highest in individuals with Trendelenburg position (7.8 ± 3.8). Conclusion Different body positions can cause changes in tissue perfusion. This should be considered in patient follow-up along with the perfusion index.

Abstract
Early investigation on blood circulation by Hertzman (1937) leads to the observation of vital body signs such as respiration rate, heart rate (HR), blood oxygenation and vascular assessment using photoplethysmographic (PPG) device. PPG is a noninvasive, painless optical technique used to monitor the pulsations linked to alteration in the blood volume. The PPG waveform is a summation of pulsatile and nonpulsatile components and contains useful information about the physiological systems. With the breakthrough in technology and development of powerful analytical tools, PPG devices are constantly being used in advanced medical equipments such as smart-watches and smart-wristbands for HR monitoring, pulse oximeters for measuring respiratory rate and noncontact PPG device for blood oxygen saturation measurement. This paper presents description on PPG and its characteristic waveform and working principle. It also includes brief explanation on nonlinear analysis of PPG signals and salient applications of PPG followed by its advantages and limitations.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Standard hemodynamic monitoring such as heart rate and systemic blood pressure may only provide a crude estimation of organ perfusion during neonatal intensive care. Pulse oximetry monitoring allows for continuous noninvasive monitoring of hemoglobin oxygenation and thus provides estimation of end-organ oxygenation. This review aims to provide an overview of pulse oximetry and discuss its current and potential clinical use during neonatal intensive care. RECENT FINDINGS Technological advances in continuous assessment of dynamic changes in systemic oxygenation with pulse oximetry during transition to extrauterine life and beyond provide additional details about physiological interactions among the key hemodynamic factors regulating systemic blood flow distribution along with the subtle changes that are frequently transient and undetectable with standard monitoring. SUMMARY Noninvasive real-time continuous systemic oxygen monitoring has the potential to serve as biomarkers for early-organ dysfunction, to predict adverse short-term and long-term outcomes in critically ill neonates, and to optimize outcomes. Further studies are needed to establish values predicting adverse outcomes and to validate targeted interventions to normalize abnormal values to improve outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Perfusion index (PI) is a new parameter tried for predicting hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for the lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). This study aimed at investigating the correlation between baseline perfusion index and incidence of hypotension following SAB in LSCS. METHODS In this prospective observational study, 126 parturients were divided into two groups on the basis of baseline PI. Group I included parturients with PI of ≤3.5 and Group II, parturients with PI values >3.5. Spinal anaesthesia was performed with 10 mg of injection bupivacaine 0.5% (hyperbaric) at L3-L4 or L2-L3 interspace. Hypotension was defined as mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square test, independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test. Regression analysis with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was done to assess the correlation between baseline PI and hypotension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for PI and occurrence of hypotension. RESULTS The incidence of hypotension in Group I was 10.5% compared to 71.42% in Group II (P < 0.001). There was significant correlation between baseline PI >3.5 and number of episodes of hypotension (rs0.416, P < 0.001) and total dose of ephedrine (rs0.567, P < 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of baseline PI of 3.5 to predict hypotension was 69.84% and 89.29%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for PI to predict hypotension was 0.848. CONCLUSION Baseline perfusion index >3.5 is associated with a higher incidence of hypotension following spinal anesthesia in elective LSCS.

J Clin Anesth 2016; 34:318-24. [PMID: 27687401 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2016.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2016] [Revised: 04/27/2016] [Accepted: 05/02/2016] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Hypertension or hypotension in patients receiving continuous infusions of dexmedetomidine (DEX) is often due to changes in vascular resistance caused by α2 receptor stimulation. We investigated whether baseline perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI), derived from pulse oximetry readings, could predict DEX-induced changes in the hemodynamic status in spontaneously breathing patients. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING Operating room. PATIENTS Patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists performance status 1 or 2) scheduled to undergo lower extremity or abdominal procedures under regional anesthesia were approached. INTERVENTIONS The PI and PVI were set as baseline upon arrival in theater and were then measured at 2.5-minute intervals. Upon attaining stable hemodynamic status under spontaneous breathing, intravenous administration of DEX was initiated at 6 μg kg(-1) h(-1) for 10minutes, followed by continuous infusion at 0.6 μg kg(-1) h(-1). MEASUREMENTS Blood pressure, heart rate, PI, and PVI were measured. Hypertension was defined as an increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) >15% and hypotension as a decrease in SBP <15% from baseline. MAIN RESULTS Baseline PI and PVI correlated with the degree of change in SBP. The maximum percentage increase as well as the maximum percentage of decrease in SBP from baseline correlated with baseline PI (r=0.418 [P=.005] and r=0.507 [P<.001], respectively) and PVI (r=-0.658 [P<.001] and r=-0.438 [P=.003], respectively). PVI <15 identified DEX-induced hypertension (sensitivity 94%, specificity 85%) and PVI >16 identified DEX-induced hypotension (sensitivity 83%, specificity 64%). CONCLUSIONS PVI may predict DEX-induced changes in blood pressure in spontaneously breathing patients.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to test the effect of removal of a ureteral obstruction (renal calculus) from anesthetized patients on the perfusion index (PI), as measured by a pulse oximeter, and on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Patients and Methods This prospective study enrolled 113 patients with unilateral ureteral obstructions (kidney stones) who were scheduled for ureteroscopy (URS) laser lithotripsy. One urologist graded patient hydronephrosis before surgery. A pulse oximeter was affixed to each patient's index finger ipsilateral to the intravenous catheter, and a non-invasive blood pressure cuff was placed on the contralateral side. Ipsilateral double J stents and Foley catheters were inserted and left indwelling for 24 h. PI and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were determined at baseline, 5 min after anesthesia, and 10 min after surgery; eGFR was determined at admission, 1 day after surgery, and 14 days after surgery. Results Patients with different grades of hydronephrosis had similar age, eGFR, PI, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR). PI increased significantly in each hydronephrosis group after ureteral stone disintegration. None of the groups had significant post-URS changes in eGFR, although eGFR increased in the grade I hydronephrosis group after 14 days. The percent change of PI correlates significantly with the percent change of MAP, but not with that of eGFR. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that release of a ureteral obstruction leads to a concurrent increase of PI during anesthesia. Measurement of PI may be a valuable tool to monitor the successful release of ureteral obstructions and changes of microcirculation during surgery. There were also increases in eGFR after 14 days, but not immediately after surgery.

Assessment of pulse oximeter perfusion index in pediatric caudal block under basal ketamine anesthesia. ScientificWorldJournal 2013; 2013:183493. [PMID: 24174910 PMCID: PMC3793507 DOI: 10.1155/2013/183493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2013] [Accepted: 08/20/2013] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Whether pulse oximeter perfusion index (PI) may be applied to detect the
onset of caudal block in pediatric patients under ketamine intravenous basal anesthesia is investigated. 40 ASA I, 2–8-year-old boys
scheduled for elective circumcision surgery were randomized into two groups.
Group I: 20 patients were anesthetized by 2 mg·kg−1 ketamine intravenous injection (IV) followed by
caudal block using 1 mL·kg−1 lidocaine (1%); Group II: 20 patients were anesthetized by 2 mg·kg−1 ketamine IV only.
PI on the toe in Group II decreased by 33 ± 12%, 71 ± 9% and 65 ± 8% at 1 min, 15 min,
and 30 min after ketamine injection. The maximum increase in MAP and HR after ketamine IV
was 11 ± 6% at 3 min and 10 ± 6% at 2 min. Compared to the PI value before caudal injection of lidocaine,
PI in Group I increased by 363 ± 318% and 778 ± 578% at 5 min and 20 min after caudal block,
while no significant changes in MAP and HR were found compared to the baseline before caudal block.
Thus, PI provides an earlier, more objective, and more sensitive indicator to assess the early onset of caudal block under basal ketamine anesthesia.

Abstract
Background: Perfusion index (PI) is a non-invasive numerical value of peripheral perfusion obtained from a pulse oximeter. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of PI for detecting haemodynamic stress responses to insertion of i-gel, laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal tube and compare, its reliability with the conventional haemodynamic criteria in adults during general anaesthesia. Methods: Sixty patients scheduled for elective general surgery under general anaesthesia were randomised to three groups. (i-gel, LMA and ET groups (n=20/group). Heart rate (HR) (positive if ≥10 bpm), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (positive if ≥15 mm Hg) and PI (positive if ≤10%) were monitored for 5 min after insertion. Main outcome measures: SBP, DBP, HR and PI were measured before induction of anaesthesia and before and after insertion of the airway device. Results: Insertion of airway devices produced significant increases in HR, SBP and DBP in LMA and ET groups. Moreover, PI was decreased significantly by 40%, 100% and 100% in the three groups. Using the PI criterion, the sensitivity was 100% (CI 82.4-100.0%). Regarding the SBP and DBP criterions, the sensitivity was 44.4% (CI 24.6-66.3%), 55.6% (CI 33.7-75.4%) respectively. Also, significant change in the mean PI over time (from pre-insertion value to the 1st min, 3rd min, until the 4th min after insertion without regard the device type), (P<0.001). Conclusion: PI is a reliable and easier alternative to conventional haemodynamic criteria for detection of stress response to insertion of i-gel, LMA and ET during propofol fentanyl isoflurane anaesthesia in adult patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postanesthetic shivering can be triggered by surgical stress and several aspects of anesthetic management and is frequently preceded by a decrease in peripheral blood flow due to thermoregulatory vasoconstriction. As perfusion index correlates with peripheral blood flow, we examined whether perioperative perfusion index, measured using pulse oximetry, might be correlated with postanesthetic shivering. METHODS Twenty-eight patients presenting for elective abdominal surgery were enrolled. Core (esophagus) and peripheral (finger) temperatures and perfusion index were recorded in the perioperative periods. Correlations between perfusion index and peripheral temperature and core-to-peripheral temperature gradient were then explored. Plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine were also measured. The extent of shivering was graded after emergence from anesthesia. RESULTS Perfusion index declined before emergence from anesthesia in patients who then developed postanesthetic shivering. This coincided with the time at which the difference between core and peripheral temperature became dissociated and peripheral temperature declined. Perioperative perfusion index was correlated with peripheral temperature and peripheral-core temperature gradient. Perfusion index at closure of the peritoneum predicted postanesthetic shivering and was significantly correlated with the extent of shivering. Plasma levels of both epinephrine and norepinephrine were significantly elevated after shivering events. CONCLUSIONS Perfusion index was significantly lower in patients with postanesthetic shivering before emergence from anesthesia, indicating that measurement of perfusion index during and before the end of anesthesia might be a useful means of predicting postanesthetic shivering.

Abstract
The photoplethysmogram (PPG) is a noninvasive circulatory signal related to the pulsatile volume in tissue and is displayed by many pulse oximeters. The PPG is similar in appearance to the invasive arterial waveform, but is noninvasive and ubiquitous in hospitals. There is increasing interest in seeking circulatory information from the PPG and developing techniques for a wide variety of novel applications. This article addresses the basic physics of photoplethysmography, physiologic principles behind pulse oximetry operation, and recent technological advances in the usefulness of the PPG waveform to assess microcirculation and intravascular fluid volume monitoring during intensive care.

Abstract
CONTEXT We hypothesised that the effects of insertion of an i-gel supraglottic airway management device on intraocular pressure (IOP) and haemodynamic variables would be milder than those associated with insertion of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or an endotracheal tube. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated IOP and haemodynamic responses following insertion of an i-gel airway, LMA or endotracheal tube. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a randomised controlled study in a tertiary care centre in which 60 adults scheduled for elective non-ophthalmic procedures under general anaesthesia were allocated to one of three groups. Patients with pre-existing glaucoma, cardiovascular, pulmonary or metabolic diseases or anticipated difficult intubation were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Following induction of general anaesthesia, an endotracheal tube, LMA or i-gel device was inserted. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES IOP, SBP, DBP, heart rate (HR) and perfusion index were measured before induction of anaesthesia and before and after insertion of the airway device. RESULTS Insertion of the i-gel did not increase IOP. Insertion of an endotracheal tube increased IOP from 11.6 ± 1.6 to 16.5 ± 1.7 mmHg (P < 0.001). The post-insertion IOP exceeded the pre-induction value (P < 0.05). Insertion of the LMA increased IOP from 13.0 ± 1.5 to 14.7 ± 1.8 mmHg (P < 0.01), but this did not exceed the pre-induction value. Tracheal intubation significantly increased HR, SBP and DBP. Insertion of the LMA significantly increased HR and SBP. These increases were significantly higher than those which followed insertion of the i-gel device. Insertion of the endotracheal tube or LMA resulted in a significant decrease in perfusion index which was maintained for 5 min following tracheal intubation and for 2 min after insertion of the LMA. Insertion of the i-gel device did not change perfusion index significantly. CONCLUSION Insertion of the i-gel device provides better stability of IOP and the haemodynamic system compared with insertion of an endotracheal tube or LMA in patients undergoing elective non-ophthalmic surgery.

Abstract
Conventional pulse oximetry uses two wavelengths of light (red and infrared) transmitted through a finger and a photodetector to analyze arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Recent advances in pulse oximetry include: extended analysis of the photo plethysmographic waveform; use of multiple wavelengths of light to quantify methemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin and total hemoglobin content in blood; and use of electronic processes to improve pulse oximeter signal processing during conditions of low signal-to-noise ratio. These advances have opened new clinical applications for pulse oximeters that will have an impact on patient monitoring and management.
