A comparison of hemodynamic measurement methods during orthotopic liver transplantation: evaluating agreement and trending ability of PiCCO versus pulmonary artery catheter techniques. BMC Anesthesiol 2024; 24:201. [PMID: 38844869 PMCID: PMC11155023 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-024-02582-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant hemodynamic changes occur during liver transplantation, emphasizing the importance of precious and continuous monitoring of cardiac output, cardiac index, and other parameters. Although the monitoring of cardiac output by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) was statistically homogeneous compared to the clinical gold standard pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) in previous studies of liver transplantation, there are fewer statistical methods for the assessment of its conclusions, and a lack of comparisons of other hemodynamic parameters (e.g., SVRI, systemic vascular resistance index). Some studies have also concluded that the agreement between PiCCO and PAC is not good enough. Overall, there are no uniform conclusions regarding the agreement between PiCCO and PAC in previous studies. This study evaluates the agreement and trending ability of relevant hemodynamic parameters obtained with PiCCO compared to the clinical gold standard PAC from multiple perspectives, employing various statistical methods. METHODS Fifty-two liver transplantation patients were included. Cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), SVRI and stroke volume index (SVI) values were monitored at eight time points using both PiCCO and PAC. The results were analyzed by Bland-Altman analysis, Passing-bablok regression, intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), 4-quadrant plot, polar plot, and trend interchangeability method (TIM). RESULTS The Bland-Altman analysis revealed high percentage errors for PiCCO: 54.06% for CO, 52.70% for CI, 62.18% for SVRI, and 51.97% for SVI, indicating poor accuracy. While Passing-Bablok plots showed favorable agreement for SVRI overall and during various phases, the agreement for other parameters was less satisfactory. The ICC results confirmed good overall agreement between the two devices across most parameters, except for SVRI during the new liver phase, which showed poor agreement. Additionally, four-quadrant and polar plot analyses indicated that all agreement rate values fell below the clinically acceptable threshold of over 90%, and all angular deviation values exceeded ± 5°, demonstrating that PiCCO is unable to meet the acceptable trends. Using the TIM, the interchangeability rates were found to be quite low: 20% for CO and CI, 16% for SVRI, and 13% for SVI. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed notable disparities in absolute values of CO, CI, SVRI and SVI between PiCCO and PAC in intraoperative liver transplant settings, notably during the neohepatic phase where errors were particularly pronounced. Consequently, these findings highlight the need for careful consideration of PiCCO's advantages and disadvantages in liver transplantation scenarios, including its multiple parameters (such as the encompassing extravascular lung water index), against its limited correlation with PAC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recently, endotracheal tubes with an embedded temperature sensor in the inner surface of the tube cuff (temperature tracheal tubes) have been developed. We sought to assess whether temperature tracheal tubes show a good agreement with esophageal temperature probes during surgery. METHODS We enrolled 40 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery in an observational study. The tracheas of all patients were intubated with a temperature tracheal tube, and an esophageal temperature probe was inserted into the esophagus. Tracheal and esophageal temperatures were recorded at 15-min intervals until the end of surgery. Temperatures from both devices were analyzed using Bland-Altman analysis, four-quadrant plots, and polar plots. RESULTS We analyzed 261 data points from 36 patients. Temperatures ranges were 34.2 °C to 36.6 °C for the tracheal temperature tube and 34.7 °C to 37.2 °C for the esophageal temperature probe. Bland-Altman analysis showed an acceptable agreement between the two devices, with an overall mean bias (95% limit of agreement) of -0.3 °C (-0.8 °C to 0.1 °C) and a percentage error of 3%; the trending ability (temperature changes over time) between the two devices showed a concordance rate of 94% in four-quadrant plot (cut-off ≥ 92%), but this was higher than the acceptable mean angular bias of 177° (cut-off < ± 5°) and radial limits of agreement of 52° (cut-off < ± 30°) in the polar plot. Bronchoscopy during extubation and patient interviews at six hours postoperatively revealed no serious injuries related to the use of the temperature tracheal tube. CONCLUSION The temperature tracheal tube showed an acceptable overall mean bias of -0.3 °C and a percentage error of 3%, but incompatible trending ability with the esophageal temperature probe.

Is the Corrected Carotid Flow Time a Clinically Acceptable Surrogate Hemodynamic Parameter for the Left Ventricular Ejection Time? ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2024; 50:528-535. [PMID: 38242742 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2023.12.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The corrected left ventricular ejection time (cLVET) comprises the phase from aortic valve opening to aortic valve closure corrected for heart rate. As a surrogate measure for cLVET, the corrected carotid flow time (ccFT) has been proposed in previous research. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical agreement between cLVET and ccFT in a dynamic clinical setting. METHODS Twenty-five patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) were selected for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The cLVET and ccFT were derived from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and the common carotid artery (CCA), respectively, using pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound. Bazett's (B) and Wodey's (W) equations were used to calculate cLVET and ccFT. Measurements were performed directly before (T1) and after (T2) TAVR. Correlation, Bland-Altman and concordance analyses were performed. RESULTS Corrected LVET decreased from T1 to T2 (p < 0.001), with relative reductions of 11% (B) and 9% (W). Corrected carotid flow time decreased (p < 0.001), with relative reductions of 12% (B) and 10% (W). The correlation between cLVET and ccFT was strong for B (ρ = 0.74, p < 0.001) and W (ρ = 0.81, p < 0.001). The bias was -39 ms (B) and -37 ms (W), and the upper and lower levels of agreement were 19 and -98 ms (B) and 5 and -78 ms (W), respectively. Trending ability between cLVET and ccFT was good (concordance 96%) for both B and W. CONCLUSION In TAVR patients, the clinical agreement between cLVET and ccFT was acceptable, indicating that ccFT could serve as a surrogate measure for cLVET.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pa co2 ) may alter cerebral perfusion in critically ill patients with acute brain injury. Consequently, international guidelines recommend normocapnia in mechanically ventilated patients with acute brain injury. The measurement of end-tidal capnography (Et co2 ) allows its approximation. Our objective was to report the agreement between trends in Et co2 and Pa co2 during mechanical ventilation in patients with acute brain injury. METHODS Retrospective monocenter study was conducted for 2 years. Critically ill patients with acute brain injury who required mechanical ventilation with continuous Et co2 monitoring and with 2 or more arterial gas were included. The agreement was evaluated according to the Bland and Altman analysis for repeated measurements with calculation of bias, and upper and lower limits of agreement. The directional concordance rate of changes between Et co2 and Pa co2 was evaluated with a 4-quadrant plot. A polar plot analysis was performed using the Critchley methods. RESULTS We analyzed the data of 255 patients with a total of 3923 paired ΔEt co2 and ΔPa co2 (9 values per patient in median). Mean bias by Bland and Altman analysis was -8.1 (95 CI, -7.9 to -8.3) mm Hg. The directional concordance rate between Et co2 and Pa co2 was 55.8%. The mean radial bias by polar plot analysis was -4.4° (95% CI, -5.5 to -3.3) with radial limit of agreement (LOA) of ±62.8° with radial LOA 95% CI of ±1.9°. CONCLUSIONS Our results question the performance of trending ability of Et co2 to track changes in Pa co2 in a population of critically ill patients with acute brain injury. Changes in Et co2 largely failed to follow changes in Pa co2 in both direction (ie, low concordance rate) and magnitude (ie, large radial LOA). These results need to be confirmed in prospective studies to minimize the risk of bias.

Abstract
Pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) has been used as a clinical standard for cardiac output (CO) measurements on humans. On animals, however, an ultrasonic flow sensor (UFS) placed around the ascending aorta or pulmonary artery can measure CO and stroke volume (SV) more accurately. The objective of this paper is to compare CO and SV measurements using a noninvasive electrical impedance tomography (EIT) device and three invasive devices using UFS, PAC-CCO (continuous CO) and arterial pressure-based CO (APCO). Thirty-two pigs were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. A UFS was placed around the pulmonary artery through thoracotomy in 11 of them, while the EIT, PAC-CCO and APCO devices were used on all of them. Afterload and contractility were changed pharmacologically, while preload was changed through bleeding and injection of fluid or blood. Twenty-three pigs completed the experiment. Among 23, the UFS was used on 7 pigs around the pulmonary artery. The percentage error (PE) between COUFS and COEIT was 26.1%, and the 10-min concordance was 92.5%. Between SVUFS and SVEIT, the PE was 24.8%, and the 10-min concordance was 94.2%. On analyzing the data from all 23 pigs, the PE between time-delay-adjusted COPAC-CCO and COEIT was 34.6%, and the 10-min concordance was 81.1%. Our results suggest that the performance of the EIT device in measuring dynamic changes of CO and SV on mechanically-ventilated pigs under different cardiac preload, afterload and contractility conditions is at least comparable to that of the PAC-CCO device. Clinical studies are needed to evaluate the utility of the EIT device as a noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring tool.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several technical aspects of the Fick method limit its use intraoperatively. A data-driven modification of the Fick method may enable its use in intraoperative settings. METHODS This two-center retrospective observational study included 57 (28 and 29 in each center) patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) surgery. Intraoperative recordings of physiological data were obtained and divided into training and test datasets. The Fick equation was used to calculate cardiac output (CO-Fick) using ventilator-determined variables, intraoperative hemoglobin level, and SvO2, with continuous thermodilution cardiac output (CCO) used as a reference. A modification CO-Fick was derived and validated: CO-Fick-AD, which adjusts the denominator of the original equation. RESULTS Increased deviation between CO-Fick and CCO was observed when oxygen extraction was low. The root mean square error of CO-Fick was decreased from 6.07 L/min to 0.70 L/min after the modification. CO-Fick-AD showed a mean bias of 0.17 (95% CI 0.00-0.34) L/min, with a 36.4% (95% CI 30.6-44.4%) error. The concordance rates of CO-Fick-AD ranged from 73.3 to 87.1% depending on the time interval and exclusion zone. CONCLUSIONS The original Fick method is not reliable when oxygen extraction is low, but a modification using data-driven approach could enable continuous estimation of cardiac output during the dynamic intraoperative period with minimal bias. However, further improvements in precision and trending ability are needed.

Abstract
Bedside quantification of stroke volume (SV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is valuable in hemodynamically compromised patients. Miniaturized handheld ultrasound (HAND) devices are now available for clinical use. However, the performance level of HAND devices for quantified cardiac assessment is yet unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the validity of HAND measurements with standard echocardiography (SE) and three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). Thirty-six patients were scanned with HAND, SE and 3DE. LVEF and SV quantification was done with automated software for the HAND, SE and 3DE dataset. The image quality of HAND and SE was evaluated by scoring segmental endocardial border delineation (2 = good, 1 = poor, 0 = invisible). LVEF and SV of HAND was evaluated against SE and 3DE using correlation and Bland-Altman analysis. The correlation, bias, and limits of agreement (LOA) between HAND and SE were 0.68 [0.46:0.83], 1.60% [- 2.18:5.38], and 8.84% [- 9.79:12.99] for LVEF, and 0.91 [0.84:0.96], 1.32 ml [- 0.36:4.01], 15.54 ml [- 18.70:21.35] for SV, respectively. Correlation, bias, and LOA between HAND and 3DE were 0.55 [0.6:0.74], - 0.56% [- 2.27:1.1], and 9.88% [- 13.29:12.17] for LVEF, and 0.79 [0.62:0.89], 6.78 ml [2.34:11.21], 12.14 ml [- 26.32:39.87] for SV, respectively. The image quality scores were 9.42 ± 2.0 for the apical four chamber views of the HAND dataset and 10.49 ± 1.7 for the SE dataset and (P < 0.001). Clinically acceptable accuracy, precision, and image quality was demonstrated for HAND measurements compared to SE. In comparison to 3DE, HAND showed a clinically acceptable accuracy and precision for LVEF quantification.

Abstract
Although previous studies have shown correlation between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), there is a lack of pragmatic information on the clinical applicability of these findings, such as tracking ability. We retrospectively analyzed continuous intraoperative recordings of rScO2 and SvO2 obtained from a pulmonary artery catheter and either of two near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) devices (INVOS 5100C, Medtronic; O3, Masimo) during off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass (OPCAB) surgery in adult patients. The ability of rScO2 to track SvO2 was quantitatively evaluated with 5 min interval changes transformed into relative values. The analysis included 176 h of data acquired from 48 subjects (26 and 22 subjects for INVOS and O3 dataset, respectively). The area under ROC of the left-rScO2 for detecting change of SvO2 ≥ 10% in INVOS and O3 datasets were 0.919 (95% CI 0.903-0.936) and 0.852 (95% CI 0.818-0.885). The concordance rates between the interval changes of left-rScO2 and SvO2 in INVOS and O3 datasets were 90.6% and 91.9% with 10% exclusion zone. rScO2 can serve as a noninvasive tool for detecting changes in SvO2 levels, a critical hemodynamic measurement.

Variability of cardioinhibition in vasovagal syncope: differences between subgroups during cardioinhibition and beyond. Clin Auton Res 2023; 33:749-755. [PMID: 37874434 PMCID: PMC10751252 DOI: 10.1007/s10286-023-00991-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We compared hemodynamic parameters between subjects with marked, intermediate and minimal cardioinhibition during vasovagal syncope. METHODS The study included subjects with a decrease in heart rate while experiencing a complete vasovagal syncope during tilt-table testing. The subjects were classified as having marked, intermediate or minimal cardioinhibition, based on tertile values of the decrease in heart rate. Hemodynamic parameters between these groups were compared before tilt in the supine position, shortly after tilt and during cardioinhibition. RESULTS A total of 149 subjects with a median age of 43 (interquartile range 24-60) years were included in the study. Among the three groups with different levels of cardioinhibition, the highest heart rate was observed in subjects with marked cardioinhibition both before and shortly after tilt and at the start of cardioinhibition. The heart rate decrease in these subjects was both larger and faster compared to subjects with minimal and intermediate cardioinhibition. CONCLUSION Subjects with marked cardioinhibition have both a larger and faster decrease in heart rate compared to subjects with intermediate and minimal cardioinhibition, as early as from the start of cardioinhibition. Marked cardioinhibition is related to differences in hemodynamic profiles already present well before the start of cardioinhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The oxygen reserve index (ORi) is a real-time, continuous index measured with multi-wavelength pulse CO-oximetry technology. It estimates mild hyperoxemia in humans, which is defined as a partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) level between 100 and 200 mmHg. The objectives of this study were to assess the correlation between ORi and PaO2, as well as to determine its ability in detecting mild hyperoxemia in dogs. METHODS This prospective observational study enrolled 37 anaesthetised and mechanically ventilated dogs undergoing elective procedures. Simultaneous measurements of ORi and PaO2 were collected, using a multi-wavelength pulse CO-oximeter with a probe placed on the dog's tongue, and a blood gas analyser, respectively. A mixed-effects model was used to calculate the correlation (r2) between simultaneous measurements of ORi and PaO2. The trending ability of ORi to identify dependable and proportional changes of PaO2 was determined. The diagnostic performances of ORi to detect PaO2 ≥ 150 mmHg and ≥ 190 mmHg were estimated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). The effects of perfusion index (PI), haemoglobin (Hb), arterial blood pH and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) on AUROC for PaO2 ≥ 150 mmHg were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 101 paired measurements of ORi and PaO2 were collected. PaO2 values ranged from 74 to 258 mmHg. A strong positive correlation (r2 = 0.52, p < 0.001) was found between ORi and PaO2. The trending ability ORi was 90.7%, with 92% sensitivity and 89% specificity in detecting decreasing PaO2. An ORi value ≥ 0.53 and ≥ 0.76 indicated a PaO2 ≥ 150 and ≥ 190 mmHg, respectively, with ≥ 82% sensitivity, ≥ 77% specificity and AUROC ≥ 0.75. The AUROC of ORi was not affected by PI, Hb, pH and PaCO2. CONCLUSIONS In anaesthetised dogs, ORi may detect mild hyperoxaemia, although it does not replace blood gas analysis for measuring the arterial partial pressure of oxygen. ORi monitoring could be used to non-invasively assess oxygenation in dogs receiving supplemental oxygen, limiting excessive hyperoxia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on the controversy surrounding pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) in surgical patients, we investigated the interchangeability of cardiac index (CI) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) measurements between ClearSight™ and PAC during living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS This prospective study included consecutively selected LDLT patients. ClearSight™-based CI and SVR measurements were compared with those from PAC at seven LDLT-stage time points. ClearSight™-based systolic (SAP), mean (MAP), and diastolic (DAP) arterial pressures were also compared with those from femoral arterial catheterization (FAC). For the comparison and analysis of ClearSight™ and the reference method, Bland-Altman analysis was used to analyze accuracy while polar and four-quadrant plots were used to analyze the trending ability. RESULTS From 27 patients, 189 pairs of ClearSight™ and reference values were analyzed. The CI and SVR performance errors (PEs) exhibited poor accuracy between the two methods (51.52 and 51.73%, respectively) in the Bland-Altman analysis. CI and SVR also exhibited unacceptable trending abilities in both the polar and four-quadrant plot analyses. SAP, MAP, and DAP PEs between the two methods displayed favorable accuracy (24.28, 21.18, and 26.26%, respectively). SAP and MAP exhibited acceptable trending ability in the four-quadrant plot between the two methods, but not in the polar plot analyses. CONCLUSIONS During LDLT, CI and SVR demonstrated poor interchangeability, while SAP and MAP exhibited acceptable interchangeability between ClearSight™ and FAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Frequent diagnostic blood sampling contributes to anemia among critically ill children. Reducing duplicative hemoglobin testing while maintaining clinical accuracy can improve patient care efficacy. The objective of this study was to determine the analytical and clinical accuracy of simultaneously acquired hemoglobin measurements with different methods. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Two U.S. children's hospitals. PATIENTS Children (< 18 yr old) admitted to the PICU. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We identified hemoglobin results from complete blood count (CBC) panels paired with blood gas (BG) panels and point-of-care (POC) devices. We estimated analytic accuracy by comparing hemoglobin distributions, correlation coefficients, and Bland-Altman bias. We measured clinical accuracy with error grid analysis and defined mismatch zones as low, medium, or high risk-based on deviance from unity and risk of therapeutic error. We calculated pairwise agreement to a binary decision to transfuse based on a hemoglobin value. Our cohort includes 49,004 ICU admissions from 29,926 patients, resulting in 85,757 CBC-BG hemoglobin pairs. BG hemoglobin was significantly higher (mean bias, 0.43-0.58 g/dL) than CBC hemoglobin with similar Pearson correlation ( R2 ) (0.90-0.91). POC hemoglobin was also significantly higher, but of lower magnitude (mean bias, 0.14 g/dL). Error grid analysis revealed only 78 (< 0.1%) CBC-BG hemoglobin pairs in the high-risk zone. For CBC-BG hemoglobin pairs, at a BG hemoglobin cutoff of greater than 8.0 g/dL, the "number needed to miss" a CBC hemoglobin less than 7 g/dL was 275 and 474 at each institution, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this pragmatic two-institution cohort of greater than 29,000 patients, we show similar clinical and analytic accuracy of CBC and BG hemoglobin. Although BG hemoglobin values are higher than CBC hemoglobin values, the small magnitude is unlikely to be clinically significant. Application of these findings may reduce duplicative testing and decrease anemia among critically ill children.

Abstract
Aim The present study was conducted to validate cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) obtained from electrical cardiometry (EC) ICON ® with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in postoperative pediatric cardiac surgical patients. Materials and Methods A prospective observational study was conducted in 25 pediatric patients with age < 10 years who underwent elective cardiac surgery. Data Analysis BlandAltman plot was constructed for interchangeability and Polar plot was constructed to know trending ability. Results A total of 250 datasets were analyzed. Spearman's correlation coefficient for CO between ICON ® and TTE showed good positive correlation (r = 0.850, 95% confidence interval 0.81 to 0.881, P <.0001). Moderate positive correlation was observed between ICON ® and TTE for CI (r = 0.60, 95% confidence interval 0.515 to 0.674, P <.0001). Linear regression equations for CO and CI between ICON ® and TTE were: y = 0.5230 + 0.8078 X (R2 = 0.6597, P <.001) and y = 1.8350 + 0.5869 X (R2 = 0.3985, P <.001) [y- ICON ®; X - TTE], respectively. BlandAltman plot for CO between ICON ® and TTE showed a bias of 0.3012 with limits of agreement (LOA) being -0.69 to 1.3 and for CI bias was 0.6939 with LOA-2.1 to 3.5. Polar plot analysis showed an angular bias of 8.1750, with radial LOA being -13.74° to 30.08° for CO and angular bias of 6.6931, with radial LOA being -15.69° to 29.07° for CI. Conclusion ICON ® monitor-derived parameters are not interchangeable with the values derived from TTE. However, the ICON ® monitor demonstrated a good trending ability for both CO and CI.

Noninvasive Monitoring of Arterial Pressure: Finger or Lower Leg As Alternatives to the Upper Arm: A Prospective Study in Three ICUs. Crit Care Med 2023; 51:1350-1362.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES When the upper arm is inaccessible for measurements of arterial pressure (AP), the best alternative site is unknown. We performed a between-site comparison of the agreement between invasive and noninvasive readings of AP taken at the lower leg, the finger, and the upper arm. The risk associated with measurement errors and the trending ability were also assessed. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Three ICUs. PATIENTS Patients having an arterial catheter and an arm circumference less than 42 cm. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Three triplicates of AP measurements were collected via an arterial catheter (reference AP), a finger cuff system (ClearSight; Edward Lifesciences, Irvine, CA), and an oscillometric cuff (at the lower leg then the upper arm). Trending ability was assessed through an additional set of measurements after a cardiovascular intervention. The default bed backrest angle was respected. Failure to measure and display AP occurred in 19 patients (13%) at the finger, never at other sites. In 130 patients analyzed, the agreement between noninvasive and invasive readings was worse at the lower leg than that observed at the upper arm or the finger (for mean AP, bias ± sd of 6.0 ± 15.8 vs 3.6 ± 7.1 and 0.1 ± 7.4 mm Hg, respectively; p < 0.05), yielding a higher frequency of error-associated clinical risk (no risk for 64% vs 84% and 86% of measurements, respectively, p < 0.0001). According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 81060-2:2018 standard, mean AP measurements were reliable at the upper arm and the finger, not the lower leg. In 33 patients reassessed after a cardiovascular intervention, both the concordance rate for change in mean AP and the ability to detect a therapy-induced significant change were good and similar at the three sites. CONCLUSIONS As compared with lower leg measurements of AP, finger measurements were, when possible, a preferable alternative to upper arm ones.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The TensorTip™ MTX is a non-invasive device designed to determine several physiological parameters with additional analysis of haemoglobin, haematocrit and blood gas analysis by interpreting blood diffusion colour of the finger skin based on spectral analysis. The aim of our study was to investigate the accuracy and precision of the TensorTip MTX in a clinical setting in comparison with routine analysis of blood samples. METHODS Forty-six patients, scheduled for elective surgery, were enrolled in this study. Placement of an arterial catheter had to be part of the standard of care. Measurements were performed during the perioperative period. The measurements obtained with the TensorTip MTX were compared with the results of routine analysis of the blood samples as a reference using correlation, Bland-Altman analysis and mountain plots. RESULTS No significant correlation was present in the measurements. Measurement of haemoglobin with the TensorTip MTX had a mean bias of 0.4 mmol/L, haematocrit's bias was 3.0 %. Bias of partial pressure of carbon dioxide and oxygen was 3.6 and 66.6 mmHg, respectively. Calculated percentage errors were 48.2 , 48.9, 39.9 and 109.0 %. Proportional bias was present in all Bland-Altman analyses. Less than 95 % of the differences fell within the pre-set limits of allowable error. CONCLUSIONS Non-invasive blood content analysis with the TensorTip MTX device is not equivalent to and did not correlate sufficiently with conventional laboratory analysis. None of the parameters measured showed results within the limits of allowable error. Therefore, the use of the TensorTip MTX is not recommended for perioperative care.

Performance of four cardiac output monitoring techniques vs. intermittent pulmonary artery thermodilution during a modified passive leg raise maneuver in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs. Front Vet Sci 2023; 10:1238549. [PMID: 37781276 PMCID: PMC10538972 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1238549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study investigated the performance among four cardiac output (CO) monitoring techniques in comparison with the reference method intermittent pulmonary artery thermodilution (iPATD) and their ability to diagnose fluid responsiveness (FR) during a modified passive leg raise (PLRM) maneuver in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs undergoing acute blood volume manipulations. The study also examined the simultaneous effect of performing the PLRM on dynamic variables such as stroke distance variation (SDV), peak velocity variation (PVV), and stroke volume variation (SVV). Study design Prospective, nonrandomized, crossover design. Study animals Six healthy male Beagle dogs. Methods The dogs were anesthetized with propofol and isoflurane and mechanically ventilated under neuromuscular blockade. After instrumentation, they underwent a series of sequential, nonrandomized steps: Step 1: baseline data collection; Step 2: removal of 33 mL kg-1 of circulating blood volume; Step 3: blood re-transfusion; and Step 4: infusion of 20 mL kg-1 colloid solution. Following a 10-min stabilization period after each step, CO measurements were recorded using esophageal Doppler (EDCO), transesophageal echocardiography (TEECO), arterial pressure waveform analysis (APWACO), and electrical cardiometry (ECCO). Additionally, SDV, PVV, and SVV were recorded. Intermittent pulmonary artery thermodilution (iPATDCO) measurements were also recorded before, during, and after the PLRM maneuver. A successful FR diagnosis made using a specific test indicated that CO increased by more than 15% during the PLRM maneuver. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance for repeated measures with post hoc Tukey test, linear regression, Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (ρc), and Bland-Altman analysis. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results All techniques detected a reduction in CO (p < 0.001) during hemorrhage and an increase in CO after blood re-transfusion and colloid infusion (p < 0.001) compared with baseline. During hemorrhage, CO increases with the PLRM maneuver were as follows: 33% for iPATD (p < 0.001), 19% for EC (p = 0.03), 7% for APWA (p = 0.97), 39% for TEE (p < 0.001), and 17% for ED (p = 0.02). Concurrently, decreases in SVV, SDV, and PVV values (p < 0.001) were also observed. The percentage error for TEE, ED, and EC was less than 30% but exceeded 55% for APWA. While TEECO and ECCO slightly underestimated iPATDCO values, EDCO and APWACO significantly overestimated iPATDCO values. TEE and EC exhibited good and acceptable agreement with iPATD. However, CO measurements using all four techniques and iPATD did not differ before, during, and after PLRM at baseline, blood re-transfusion, and colloid infusion. Conclusion and clinical relevance iPATD, EC, TEE, and ED effectively assessed FR in hypovolemic dogs during the PLRM maneuver, while the performance of APWA was unacceptable and not recommended. SVV, SDV, and PVV could be used to monitor CO changes during PLRM and acute blood volume manipulations, suggesting their potential clinical utility.

Abstract
Treatment of circulatory shock in critically ill patients requires management of blood pressure using invasive monitoring, but uncertainty remains as to optimal individual blood pressure targets. Critical closing pressure, which refers to the arterial pressure when blood flow stops, can provide a fundamental measure of vascular tone in response to disease and therapy, but it has not previously been possible to measure this parameter routinely in clinical care. Here we describe a method to continuously measure critical closing pressure in the systemic circulation using readily available blood pressure monitors and then show that tissue perfusion pressure (TPP), defined as the difference between mean arterial pressure and critical closing pressure, provides unique information compared to other hemodynamic parameters. Using analyses of 5,988 admissions to a modern cardiac intensive care unit, and externally validated with 864 admissions to another institution, we show that TPP can predict the risk of mortality, length of hospital stay and peak blood lactate levels. These results indicate that TPP may provide an additional target for blood pressure optimization in patients with circulatory shock.

Evaluation of Electrical Cardiometry for Measuring Cardiac Output and Derived Hemodynamic Variables in Comparison with Lithium Dilution in Anesthetized Dogs. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:2362. [PMID: 37508139 PMCID: PMC10376001 DOI: 10.3390/ani13142362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Numerous cardiac output (CO) technologies were developed to replace the 'gold standard' pulmonary artery thermodilution due to its invasiveness and the risks associated with it. Minimally invasive lithium dilution (LiD) shows excellent agreement with thermodilution and can be used as a reference standard in animals. This study evaluated CO via noninvasive electrical cardiometry (EC) and acquired hemodynamic variables against CO measured using LiD in six healthy, anesthetized dogs administered different treatments (dobutamine, esmolol, phenylephrine, and high-dose isoflurane) impacting CO values. These treatments were chosen to cause drastic variations in CO, so that fair comparisons between EC and LiD across a wide range of CO values (low, intermediate, and high) could be made. Statistical analysis included linear regression, Bland-Altman plots, Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (ρc), and polar plots. Values of p < 0.05 represented significance. Good agreement was observed between EC and LiD, but consistent underestimation was noted when the CO values were high. The good trending ability, ρc of 0.88, and low percentage error of ±31% signified EC's favorable performance. Other EC-acquired variables successfully tracked changes in CO measured using LiD. EC may be a pivotal hemodynamic tool for continuously monitoring circulatory changes, as well as guiding and treating cardiovascular anesthetic complications in clinical settings.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:s23115308. [PMID: 37300035 DOI: 10.3390/s23115308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can monitor the real-time hemodynamic state of a conscious and spontaneously breathing patient noninvasively. However, cardiac volume signal (CVS) extracted from EIT images has a small amplitude and is sensitive to motion artifacts (MAs). This study aimed to develop a new algorithm to reduce MAs from the CVS for more accurate heart rate (HR) and cardiac output (CO) monitoring in patients undergoing hemodialysis based on the source consistency between the electrocardiogram (ECG) and the CVS of heartbeats. Two signals were measured at different locations on the body through independent instruments and electrodes, but the frequency and phase were matched when no MAs occurred. A total of 36 measurements with 113 one-hour sub-datasets were collected from 14 patients. As the number of motions per hour (MI) increased over 30, the proposed algorithm had a correlation of 0.83 and a precision of 1.65 beats per minute (BPM) compared to the conventional statical algorithm of a correlation of 0.56 and a precision of 4.04 BPM. For CO monitoring, the precision and upper limit of the mean ∆CO were 3.41 and 2.82 L per minute (LPM), respectively, compared to 4.05 and 3.82 LPM for the statistical algorithm. The developed algorithm could reduce MAs and improve HR/CO monitoring accuracy and reliability by at least two times, particularly in high-motion environments.

Agreement between Electrical Cardiometry and Pulmonary Artery Thermodilution for Measuring Cardiac Output in Isoflurane-Anesthetized Dogs. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13081420. [PMID: 37106987 PMCID: PMC10135226 DOI: 10.3390/ani13081420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In animals, invasive pulmonary artery thermodilution (PATD) is a gold standard for cardiac output (CO) monitoring, but it is impractical in clinical settings. This study evaluates the agreement between PATD and noninvasive electrical cardiometry (EC) for measuring CO and analyzes the other EC-derived hemodynamic variables in six healthy anesthetized dogs subjected to four different hemodynamic events in a sequential order: (1) euvolemia (baseline); (2) hemorrhage (33% blood volume loss); (3) autologous blood transfusion; and (4) 20 mL/kg colloid bolus. The CO measurements obtained using PATD and EC are compared using Bland-Altman analysis, Lin's concordance correlation (LCC), and polar plot analysis. Values of p < 0.05 are considered significant. The EC measurements consistently underpredict the CO values as compared with PATD, and the LCC is 0.65. The EC's performance is better during hemorrhage, thus indicating its capability in detecting absolute hypovolemia in clinical settings. Even though the percentage error exhibited by EC is 49.4%, which is higher than the standard (<30%), EC displays a good trending ability. Additionally, the EC-derived variables display a significant correlation with the CO measured using PATD. Noninvasive EC may have a potential in monitoring trends in hemodynamics in clinical settings.

Abstract
PURPOSE The corrected carotid flow time (ccFT) is derived from a pulsed-wave Doppler signal at the common carotid artery. Several equations are currently used to calculate ccFT. Its ability to assess the intravascular volume status non-invasively has recently been investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation and trending ability of ccFT with invasive cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) measurements. METHODS Eighteen cardiac surgery patients were included in this prospective observational study. ccFT measurements were obtained at three time points: after induction of anesthesia (T1), after a passive leg raise (T2), and post-bypass (T3). Simultaneously, CO and SV were measured by calibrated pulse contour analysis. Three different equations (Bazett, Chambers, and Wodey) were used to calculate ccFT. The correlation and percentage change in time (concordance) between ccFT and CO and between ccFT and SV were evaluated. RESULTS Mean ccFT values differed significantly for the three equations (p < 0.001). The correlation between ccFT and CO and between ccFT and SV was highest for Bazett's (ρ = 0.43, p < 0.0001) and Wodey's (ρ = 0.33, p < 0.0001) equations, respectively. Concordance between ΔccFT and ΔCO and between ΔccFT and ΔSV was highest for Bazett's (100%) and Wodey's (82%) equations, respectively. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that correlation and concordance between SV and ccFT improved when assessed within limited heart rate (HR) ranges. CONCLUSION The use of different ccFT equations leads to variable correlation and concordance rates between ccFT and CO/SV measurements. Bazett's equation acceptably tracked CO changes in time, while the trending capability of SV was poor.

Abstract
Objective.Accurate haemodynamic monitoring is the cornerstone in the management of critically ill patients. It guides the optimization of tissue and organ perfusion in order to prevent multiple organ failure. In the past decades, carotid Doppler ultrasound (CDU) has been explored as a non-invasive alternative for long-established invasive haemodynamic monitoring techniques. Considering the large heterogeneity in reported studies, we conducted a review of the literature to clarify the current status of CDU as a haemodynamic monitoring tool.Approach.In this article, firstly an overview is given of the equipment and workflow required to perform a CDU exam in clinical practice, the limitations and technical challenges potentially faced by the CDU sonographer, and the cerebrovascular mechanisms that may influence CDU measurement outcomes. The following chapter describes alternative techniques for non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring, detailing advantages and limitations compared to CDU. Next, a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the use of CDU for haemodynamic monitoring is presented. Furthermore, feasibility aspects, training requirements and technical developments of CDU are addressed.Main results.Based on the outcomes of these studies, we assess the applicability of CDU-derived parameters within three clinical domains (cardiac output, volume status, and fluid responsiveness), and amongst different patient groups. Finally, recommendations are provided to improve the quality and standardization of future research and clinical practice in this field.Significance.Although CDU is not yet interchangeable with invasive 'gold standard' cardiac output monitoring, the present work shows that certain CDU-derived parameters prove promising in the context of functional haemodynamic monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) is a minimally invasive technique to measure cardiac output (CO) using a 1 mL kg-1 isotonic 37 °C saline injectate indicator. The objective was to evaluate the performance of TPUD using a room temperature saline injectate. STUDY DESIGN Prospective experimental trial. ANIMALS A total of seven anesthetized male Yorkshire piglets. METHODS Piglets aged 1 month and weighing 7.7-9.0 kg were anesthetized with detomidine-ketamine-hydromorphone-isoflurane and a pulmonary artery flow probe (PAFP) placed via a median sternotomy. The thoracic cavity remained open during measurement of CO by PAFP and TPUD. The TPUD indicators of 1 mL kg-1 0.9% saline at 37 °C and 20 °C were compared during infusions of phenylephrine and dobutamine, blood withdrawal and replacement. Bias, limits of agreement (LoAs) and percentage error (PE) between each iteration of PAFP and TPUD were measured with Bland-Altman plots. Trending ability via concordance, angular bias and radial LoA were compared. RESULTS Bland-Altman plots showed negligible bias with varying LoAs. PEs of 22% and 38% were found for 37 °C and 20 °C saline injectates, respectively. In the four-quadrant plots, the concordance rate was 94% and 100% for measurements obtained with 37 °C and 20 °C saline injectates, respectively. Angular bias for both were < ±5 °, with radial LoA < ±7 °. CONCLUSIONS TPUD was accurate when using 1 mL kg-1 of isotonic saline at 37 °C in a range of CO within 0.2-0.8 L minute-1, and it reliably tracked positive and negative changes in CO. Room temperature (20 °C) indicator was less accurate but equally able to track direction of changes in CO. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of room temperature injectates allows an easy, readily available clinical application of TPUD CO monitoring while preserving the trending ability of the monitor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the reliability of cardiac index (CI) and stroke-volume variation (SVV) measured by the pulse-wave transit-time (PWTT) method using estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) technique with conventional pulse-contour analysis after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). DESIGN A single-center, prospective, observational study. SETTING At a 1,000-bed university hospital. PARTICIPANTS A total of 21 patients were enrolled after elective OPCAB. INTERVENTIONS The study authors performed a method comparison study with simultaneous measurement of CI and SVV based on the esCCO technique (CIesCCO and esSVV, correspondingly) and pulse-contour analysis (CIPCA and SVVPCA, correspondingly). As a secondary analysis, they also assessed the trending ability of CIesCCO versus CIPCA. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The authors analyzed 178 measurement pairs for CI, and 174 pairs for SVV during the 10 study stages. The mean bias between CIesCCO and CIPCA was 0.06 L min/m2, with limits of agreement of ± 0.92 L min/m2 and a percentage error (PE) of 35.3%. The analysis of the trending ability of CI measured by PWTT revealed a concordance rate of 70%. The mean bias between esSVV and SVVPCA was -6.1%, with limits of agreement of ± 15.5% and a PE of 137%. CONCLUSIONS The overall performance of CIesCCO and esSVV versus CIPCA and SVVPCA is not clinically acceptable. A further improvement of the PWTT algorithm may be required for an accurate and precise assessment of CI and SVV.

Abstract
Smartphones may provide a highly available access to simplified hypertension screening in environments with limited health care resources. Most studies involving smartphone blood pressure (BP) apps have focused on validation in static conditions without taking into account intraindividual BP variations. We report here the first experimental evidence of smartphone-derived BP estimation compared to an arterial catheter in a highly dynamic context such as induction of general anesthesia. We tested a smartphone app (OptiBP) on 121 patients requiring general anesthesia and invasive BP monitoring. For each patient, ten 1-min segments aligned in time with ten smartphone recordings were extracted from the continuous invasive BP. A total of 1152 recordings from 119 patients were analyzed. After exclusion of 2 subjects and rejection of 565 recordings due to BP estimation not generated by the app, we retained 565 recordings from 109 patients (acceptance rate 51.1%). Concordance rate (CR) and angular CR demonstrated values of more than 90% for systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and mean (MBP) BP. Error grid analysis showed that 98% of measurement pairs were in no- or low-risk zones for SBP and MBP, of which more than 89% in the no-risk zone. Evaluation of accuracy and precision [bias ± standard deviation (95% limits of agreement)] between the app and the invasive BP was 0.0 ± 7.5 mmHg [- 14.9, 14.8], 0.1 ± 2.9 mmHg [- 5.5, 5.7], and 0.1 ± 4.2 mmHg [- 8.3, 8.4] for SBP, DBP and MBP respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a smartphone app was compared to an invasive BP reference. Its trending ability was investigated in highly dynamic conditions, demonstrating high concordance and accuracy. Our study could lead the way for mobile devices to leverage the measurement of BP and management of hypertension.

Abstract
Assessment of native cardiac output during extracorporeal circulation is challenging. We assessed a modified Fick principle under conditions such as dead space and shunt in 13 anesthetized swine undergoing centrally cannulated veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO, 308 measurement periods) therapy. We assumed that the ratio of carbon dioxide elimination (V̇co2) or oxygen uptake (V̇o2) between the membrane and native lung corresponds to the ratio of respective blood flows. Unequal ventilation/perfusion (V̇/Q̇) ratios were corrected towards unity. Pulmonary blood flow was calculated and compared to an ultrasonic flow probe on the pulmonary artery with a bias of 99 mL/min (limits of agreement -542 to 741 mL/min) with blood content V̇o2 and no-shunt, no-dead space conditions, which showed good trending ability (least significant change from 82 to 129 mL). Shunt conditions led to underestimation of native pulmonary blood flow (bias -395, limits of agreement -1,290 to 500 mL/min). Bias and trending further depended on the gas (O2, CO2) and measurement approach (blood content vs. gas phase). Measurements in the gas phase increased the bias (253 [LoA -1,357 to 1,863 mL/min] for expired V̇o2 bias 482 [LoA -760 to 1,724 mL/min] for expired V̇co2) and could be improved by correction of V̇/Q̇ inequalities. Our results show that common assumptions of the Fick principle in two competing circulations give results with adequate accuracy and may offer a clinically applicable tool. Precision depends on specific conditions. This highlights the complexity of gas exchange in membrane lungs and may further deepen the understanding of V-A ECMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac output (CO) decreases on reversing the patient's position to the prone position. Estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) systems can noninvasively and continuously monitor CO calibrated by patient information or transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy, precision, and trending ability of two calibration methods of CO estimation in patients in prone position. METHODS The CO estimates calibrated by TEE (esT) and patient information (esP) of 26 participants were included. CO was collected at four time points. The accuracy and precision of agreement were evaluated using the Bland-Altman method. A four-quadrant plot was used for trending ability analysis. RESULTS The bias between esP and TEE and between esT and TEE was 0.2594 L/min (95% limits of agreement (LoA): -1.8374 L/min to 2.3562 L/min) and 0.0337 L/min (95% LoA: -0.7381 L/min to 0.8055 L/min), respectively. A strong correlation was found between ΔesP and ΔTEE (p< 0.001, CCC = 0.700) and between ΔesT and ΔTEE (p< 0.001, CCC = 0.794). The concordance rates between ΔesP and ΔTEE and between ΔesT and ΔTEE were 91.9% and 97.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION Despite limited accuracy and precision, esP showed acceptable trending ability. The trending ability of esCCO calibrated by the reference TEE value was comparable with that of TEE.

Abstract
Background The noninvasive TensorTip™ MTX measures blood pressure by interpreting blood diffusion color of the finger skin. In addition to blood pressure, the device is able to measure various vital signs: heart rate, oxygen saturation, stroke volume, and cardiac output. Studies about accuracy and precision thus far available have only been conducted by the manufacturer. The aim of our study was to investigate the accuracy and precision of the TensorTip MTX in comparison to invasive radial artery blood pressure values. Methods Forty-one patients scheduled for elective surgery were enrolled in this study. Placement of the arterial catheter had to be part of the standard of care. Once hemodynamic stable conditions were achieved, blood pressure was measured. Three measurements with the TensorTip MTX were averaged and compared with one invasive blood pressure measurement using Bland-Altman plot and error grid analysis. Results Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure had a bias of respectively 6.2, -6.9 and 4.4 mm Hg. Corresponding standard deviation were respectively 30.1, 17.0 and 22.2. Calculated percentage errors were 47.6%, 52.9% and 52.3%. Proportional bias was present in all Bland-Altman analyses. Error grid analysis showed 61.0% of systolic blood pressure measurements, and 46.3% of mean blood pressure measurements were in the clinical acceptable zone. Conclusions The TensorTip MTX was not able to reliably measure blood pressure compared to blood pressure obtained with an arterial catheter and therefore, the measurement performance is not clinically acceptable. Moreover, a high malfunction rate makes the device unsuitable for use in perioperative period.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is consistently ranked high among the causes of death on a global scale. Monitoring of cardiovascular signs throughout the course of a long period of time and in real time is necessary in order to discover anomalies and begin early intervention at the appropriate time. To this purpose, a significant amount of interest among researchers has been directed toward the creation of flexible sensors that may be worn or implanted and are capable of constant, immediate observation of a variety of main physiological indicators. The real-time readings of the heart and arteries' pressure fluctuations can be reflected directly by mechanical sensors, which are one of the many types of sensors. Potential benefits of mechanical sensors include excellent accuracy and considerable versatility. Capacitive, piezoresistive, piezoelectric, and triboelectric principles are the foundations of the four types of mechanical sensors that are discussed in this article as recent developments for the purpose of monitoring the cardiovascular system. The biomechanical systems that are present in the cardiovascular system are then detailed, along with their monitoring, and this includes blood and endocardial pressure, pulse wave, and heart rhythm. In conclusion, we examine the usefulness of the use of continuous health monitoring for the treatment of vascular disease and highlight the difficulties associated with its translation into clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Individuals in late pregnancy are at risk of significant hemodynamic variations, especially during Cesarean delivery. Although non-invasive monitoring might enable the early detection of variations in cardiac output (CO), clinical validation is lacking. METHODS In a prospective, single-center study, we measured CO simultaneously with finger plethysmography and transthoracic echocardiography in 100 third-trimester pregnant individuals in the supine and left lateral decubitus (LLD) positions. RESULTS A Bland-Altman analysis revealed a mean (standard deviation) bias of 1.36 (1.04) L·min-1 in the supine position (95% limits of agreement, -0.68 to 3.4 L·min-1; percent error, 26.6%), indicating overestimation by finger plethysmography. The intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.43 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33 to 0.51). Regarding the changes in CO induced by the supine-to-LLD transition, the concordance rate in a four-quadrant plot was 98.3% (95% CI, 91.1 to 99.9%). CONCLUSION Our study showed a poor reliability of finger plethysmography for static measurement of CO. Nevertheless, finger plethysmography had a reasonably high concordance rate for the detection of CO changes secondary to positional changes in late-pregnant individuals. STUDY REGISTRATION DATE: www. CLINICALTRIALS gov (NCT03735043); registered 8 November 2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body temperature is a vital sign, and temperature monitoring during liver transplantation is important. Tracheal temperature can be measured via an endotracheal tube with a temperature sensor on the cuff of the tube. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy and trending ability of tracheal temperature measurement compared to those of the core temperature measured at the esophagus and pulmonary artery (PA) in living donor liver transplant recipients. METHODS Twenty-two patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) were enrolled. Patients were intubated using an endotracheal tube with a temperature sensor placed on the inner surface of the tube cuff. Tracheal, esophageal, and PA temperatures were recorded at five time points corresponding to the different phases of liver transplantation. The tracheal and esophageal, tracheal and PA, and esophageal and PA temperatures were compared using Bland-Altman analysis, four-quadrant plot/concordance analysis, and polar plot analysis. RESULTS Bland-Altman analysis showed an overall mean bias (95% limits of agreement) between tracheal and esophageal temperatures of -0.10 °C (-0.37 °C to 0.18 °C), with a percentage error of 0.27%; between tracheal and PA temperatures, -0.05 °C (-0.91 °C to 0.20 °C), with a percentage error of -0.15%; and between esophageal and PA temperatures, 0.04 °C (-0.27 °C to 0.35 °C), with a percentage error of 0.12%. The concordance rates between tracheal and esophageal temperatures, tracheal and PA temperatures, and esophageal and PA temperatures were 96.2%, 96.2%, and 94.94%, respectively. The polar plot analysis showed a mean angular bias (radial limits of agreement) of 4° (26°), -3° (13°), and 2° (21°). CONCLUSIONS Monitoring core temperature at the inner surface of the endotracheal tube cuff is accurate in all phases of LDLT with good trending ability; thus, it can be an excellent alternative for monitoring during LDLTs.

Femoral Pulse Pressure Variation Is Not Interchangeable with Radial Pulse Pressure Variation during Living Donor Liver Transplantation. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12081352.

Abstract
The radial artery is commonly used as the site measuring pulse pressure variation (PPV) during surgery. Accurate measurement of circulating blood volume and timely interventions to maintain optimal circulating blood volume is important to deliver sufficient oxygen to tissues and organs. It has not rather than never studied in patients undergoing liver transplantation whether PPV measured at peripheral sites, such as the radial artery, do represent central PPV for evaluating blood volume. In this retrospective study, 51 liver transplant recipients were enrolled. The two PPVs had been automatically recorded every minute in electrical medical records. A total 1878 pairs of the two PPVs were collected. The interchangeability of PPV measured at the radial and the femoral artery was analyzed by using the Bland−Altman plot, four-quadrant plot, Cohen’s kappa (k), and receiver operating curve. The bias and limits of agreement of the two PPVs were −1.3% and −8.8% to 6.2%, respectively. The percentage error was 75%. The concordance rate was 65%. The Kappa of PPV-radial determining whether PPV-femoral was >13% or ≤13% was 0.64. We found that PPV-radial is not interchangeable with PPV-femoral during liver transplantation. Additionally, PPV-radial failed to reliably track changes of PPV-femoral. Lastly, the clinical decision regarding blood volume status (depletion or not) is significantly different between the two PPVs. Therefore, PPV-femoral may help maintain blood volume circulating to major organs including the newly transplanted liver graft for liver transplant recipients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Long-term and real-time monitoring of cardiovascular indicators is required to detect abnormalities and conduct early intervention in time. To this end, the development of flexible wearable/implantable sensors for real-time monitoring of various vital signs has aroused extensive interest among researchers. Among the different kinds of sensors, mechanical sensors can reflect the direct information of pressure fluctuations in the cardiovascular system with the advantages of high sensitivity and suitable flexibility. Herein, we first introduce the recent advances of four kinds of mechanical sensors for cardiovascular system monitoring, based on capacitive, piezoresistive, piezoelectric, and triboelectric principles. Then, the physio-mechanical mechanisms in the cardiovascular system and their monitoring are described, including pulse wave, blood pressure, heart rhythm, endocardial pressure, etc. Finally, we emphasize the importance of real-time physiological monitoring in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and discuss its challenges in clinical translation.

Validation of Non-invasive Measurement of Cardiac Output: Using Whole-Body Bio-impedance Versus Inert Gas Rebreathing in Healthy Women Undergoing In Vitro Fertilisation. Artery Res 2022.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Haemodynamic assessment in and before pregnancy is becoming increasingly important in relation to pregnancy complications and outcomes. Different methodologies exist but there is no gold-standard technique for non-invasive measurement of cardiac output (CO). We sought to assess two methods of CO measurement in healthy women undergoing in vitro fertilisation cycles (IVF). This was a prospective longitudinal study of 71 women aged 18–44 years planning IVF undergoing CO measurements obtained via inert gas rebreathing (IGR) using Innocor™ and whole-body bio-impedance (WBI) using Nicas™ to assess the reproducibility between the methods. Four visits occurred at which both techniques were used: initial assessment, embryo transfer, day of pregnancy test and 4 weeks post-transfer (regardless of whether conception occurred). Cross-sectional agreement of the methods was assessed using the calculation of bias, percentage error and limits of agreement (LOA) via the Bland–Altman analysis. Longitudinal agreement of the methods was assessed using a 4-quadrant plot with concordance rate, angular bias and radial limits of agreement (%).
Results
One hundred and thirteen measurements from 44 participants were suitable for cross-sectional (Bland–Altman) analysis. IGR (Innocor™) Mean CO was 4.61 L/min and 5.05 L/min with WBI (Nicas™). The bias was 0.44 L/min. The percentage error was 76% and intra-correlation coefficient was 0.135 (95% CI −0.43–0.306). Fifty-nine measurements from 28 participants were suitable for longitudinal (4Q-plot) analysis. The concordance rate was 64.4%, angular bias – 0.14, and radial limits of agreement + − 13.25°.
Conclusion
There was poor cross-sectional and longitudinal agreement between inert gas rebreathing and whole-body bio-impedance techniques. These techniques cannot be used interchangeably when measuring CO in women undergoing IVF, and these results may be more generalizable, to women in the peri-conception period.

Abstract
Multi-beat analysis (MBA) of the radial arterial pressure (AP) waveform is a new method that may improve cardiac output (CO) estimation via modelling of the confounding arterial wave reflection. We evaluated the precision and accuracy using the trending ability of the MBA method to estimate absolute CO and variations (ΔCO) during hemodynamic challenges. We reviewed the hemodynamic challenges (fluid challenge or vasopressors) performed when intra-operative hypotension occurred during non-cardiac surgery. The CO was calculated offline using transesophageal Doppler (TED) waveform (COTED) or via application of the MBA algorithm onto the AP waveform (COMBA) before and after hemodynamic challenges. We evaluated the precision and the accuracy according to the Bland & Altman method. We also assessed the trending ability of the MBA by evaluating the percentage of concordance with 15% exclusion zone between ΔCOMBA and ΔCOTED. A non-inferiority margin was set at 87.5%. Among the 58 patients included, 23 (40%) received at least 1 fluid challenge, and 46 (81%) received at least 1 bolus of vasopressors. Before treatment, the COTED was 5.3 (IQR [4.1-8.1]) l min-1, and the COMBA was 4.1 (IQR [3-5.4]) l min-1. The agreement between COTED and COMBA was poor with a 70% percentage error. The bias and lower and upper limits of agreement between COTED and COMBA were 0.9 (CI95 = 0.82 to 1.07) l min-1, -2.8 (CI95 = -2.71 to-2.96) l min-1 and 4.7 (CI95 = 4.61 to 4.86) l min-1, respectively. After hemodynamic challenge, the percentage of concordance (PC) with 15% exclusion zone for ΔCO was 93 (CI97.5 = 90 to 97)%. In this retrospective offline analysis, the accuracy, limits of agreements and percentage error between TED and MBA for the absolute estimation of CO were poor, but the MBA could adequately track induced CO variations measured by TED. The MBA needs further evaluation in prospective studies to confirm those results in clinical practice conditions.

BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:108. [PMID: 35130866 PMCID: PMC8822785 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-022-02803-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-Invasive Continuous Arterial Pressure system (NICAP) allows continuous monitoring, timely detection of hypotension, and avoiding risks from invasive procedures. A previous study showed good comparability of NICAP with arterial line in people with no evidence of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate whether NICAP could be accurately applied to elderly patients. METHODS In this single-centered observational study, forty-one patients above 65 undergoing elective surgeries requiring artery catheterizations were enrolled from July 17, 2020, to June 25, 2021. Radial artery cannulation and NICAP monitoring were started before anesthesia. Blood pressure during the anesthesia induction and the whole surgery, trend of blood pressure changes, time needed for establishing continuous monitoring, and complications were recorded. RESULTS A total of 6751 valid pairs of blood pressure measurements were analyzed. In the Bland-Altman analysis, the arithmetic means for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure were 2.2, 3.3, and 2.8 mmHg, respectively. NICAP and arterial line correlation coefficients for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure were 0.49, 0.33, and 0.45, respectively. In the trending analysis, the polar concordance rates at 30 degrees were 70.9% for systolic, 67.7% for diastolic, and 69.3% for mean arterial blood pressure. During the anesthesia induction, the arithmetic means for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure in the Bland-Altman analysis were 1.7, -0.2, and 0.5 mmHg, respectively. NICAP and arterial line correlation coefficients for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure were 0.78, 0.61 and 0.75, respectively. No severe complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS NICAP has a poor correlation with the arterial line in elderly patients for the whole surgery or during anesthesia induction. Moreover, it showed poor comparability in the detection of blood pressure change trends with arterial lines. Our findings suggest that NICAP might not be sufficiently accurate to be applied clinically in elderly patients with comorbidities. More accurate calibration and iteration are needed.

Impact of COVID-19 on the association between pulse oximetry and arterial oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Sci Rep 2022; 12:1462. [PMID: 35087122 PMCID: PMC8795352 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-02634-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Managing patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requires frequent changes in mechanical ventilator respiratory settings to optimize arterial oxygenation assessed by arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) and saturation (SaO2). Pulse oxymetry (SpO2) has been suggested as a non-invasive surrogate for arterial oxygenation however its accuracy in COVID-19 patients is unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the influence of COVID-19 status on the association between SpO2 and arterial oxygenation. We prospectively included patients with ARDS and compared COVID-19 to non-COVID-19 patients, regarding SpO2 and concomitant arterial oxygenation (SaO2 and PaO2) measurements, and their association. Bias was defined as mean difference between SpO2 and SaO2 measurements. Occult hypoxemia was defined as a SpO2 ≥ 92% while concomitant SaO2 < 88%. Multiple linear regression models were built to account for confounders. We also assessed concordance between positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) trial-induced changes in SpO2 and in arterial oxygenation. We included 55 patients, among them 26 (47%) with COVID-19. Overall, SpO2 and SaO2 measurements were correlated (r = 0.70; p < 0.0001), however less so in COVID-19 than in non-COVID-19 patients (r = 0.55, p < 0.0001 vs. r = 0.84, p < 0.0001, p = 0.002 for intergroup comparison). Bias was + 1.1%, greater in COVID-19 than in non-COVID-19 patients (2.0 vs. 0.3%; p = 0.02). In multivariate analysis, bias was associated with COVID-19 status (unstandardized β = 1.77, 95%CI = 0.38–3.15, p = 0.01), ethnic group and ARDS severity. Occult hypoxemia occurred in 5.5% of measurements (7.7% in COVID-19 patients vs. 3.4% in non-COVID-19 patients, p = 0.42). Concordance rate between PEEP trial-induced changes in SpO2 and SaO2 was 84%, however less so in COVID-19 than in non-COVID-19 patients (69% vs. 97%, respectively). Similar results were observed for PaO2 regarding correlations, bias, and concordance with SpO2 changes. In patients with ARDS, SpO2 was associated with arterial oxygenation, but COVID-19 status significantly altered this association.

Accuracy and Trending Ability of Electrical Biosensing Technology for Non-invasive Cardiac Output Monitoring in Neonates: A Systematic Qualitative Review. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:851850. [PMID: 35372144 PMCID: PMC8968571 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.851850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrical biosensing technology (EBT) is an umbrella term for non-invasive technology utilizing the body's fluctuating resistance to electrical current flow to estimate cardiac output. Monitoring cardiac output in neonates may allow for timely recognition of hemodynamic compromise and allow for prompt therapy, thereby mitigating adverse outcomes. For a new technology to be safely used in the clinical environment for therapeutic decisions, it must be proven to be accurate, precise and be able to track temporal changes. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and analyze studies that describe the accuracy, precision, and trending ability of EBT to non-invasively monitor Left ventricular cardiac output and/or stroke volume in neonates. METHODS A qualitative systematic review was performed. Studies were identified from PubMed NCBI, SCOPUS, and EBSCOHost up to November 2021, where EBT technologies were analyzed in neonates, in comparison to a reference technology. Outcome measures were bias, limits of agreement, percentage error for agreement studies and data from 4-quadrant and polar plots for trending studies. Effect direction plots were used to present results. RESULTS Fifteen neonatal studies were identified, 14 for agreement and 1 for trending analysis. Only thoracic electrical biosensing technology (TEBT), with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as the comparator, studies were available for analyzes. High heterogeneity existed between studies. An equal number of studies showed over- and underestimation of left ventricular output parameters. All studies showed small bias, wide limits of agreement, with most studies having a percentage error >30%. Sub-analyses for respiratory support mode, cardiac anomalies and type of technology showed similar results. The single trending study showed poor concordance, high angular bias, and poor angular concordance. DISCUSSION Overall, TEBT shows reasonable accuracy, poor precision, and non-interchangeability with TTE. However, high heterogeneity hampered proper analysis. TEBT should be used with caution in the neonatal population for monitoring and determining therapeutic interventions. The use of TEBT trend monitoring has not been sufficiently studied and requires further evaluation in future trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a non-invasive method for continuous cardiac output measurement and has the potential to improve monitoring and treatment of sick neonates. PhysioFlow® is a signal-morphology ICG-system showing promising results in adults with low and high cardiac output, but no data from neonates or neonatal models exist. The aim of this study was to investigate PhysioFlow® feasibility in asphyxiated newborn piglets. METHODS Fifteen piglets, under continuous arterial heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) monitoring, were asphyxiated until asystole. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed and the piglets monitored after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Arterial lactate was measured at baseline, every 5 min throughout asphyxiation, at asystole, and at 10 min and later every 30 min after ROSC. PhysioFlow® measured cardiac stroke volume (SV) and HR, and calculated cardiac index (CI) (L/m2/min). Registrations with a signal quality < 75% were excluded, and registrations recorded for 30 min from start of asphyxia analyzed. Pearson correlations were calculated for CI; and HR, mean BP and blood lactate. RESULTS The piglets were asphyxiated for median (interquartile range) 30 (20-35) min and had a lactate at asystole of 15.0 (9.1-17.0) mmol/L. Out of a total of 20.991 registrations in all animals combined, there were 10.148 (48.3%) registrations with a signal quality ≥ 75%. Signal quality ≥ 75% varied in individual piglets from 7 to 82% of registrations. We analyzed 1.254 registrations recorded 30 min from initiation of asphyxia, i.e., in piglets with brief asphyxia times, this included cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-ROSC observation. There was a positive correlation between CI and SVI (r = 0.90, p < 0.001), and between CI and HR (r = 0.446, p < 0.001). There was no correlation between CI, or mean BP or lactate (p = 0.98 and 0.51, respectively). CONCLUSION About half of ICG-registrations in asphyxiated piglets were of good quality. However, signal quality was highly variable between piglets. In total, there was a higher proportion of reliable ICG-registrations than reported from clinical delivery room studies using electrical velocimetry. Our data are physiologically plausible and supports further research evaluating PhysioFlow® for cardiac output monitoring in perinatal asphyxia. In particular, factors influencing inter-individual variations in signal quality should be explored.

Quantification of stroke volume in a simulated healthy volunteer model of traumatic haemorrhage; a comparison of two non-invasive monitoring devices using error grid analysis alongside traditional measures of agreement.

Abstract
Introduction Haemorrhage is a leading cause of death following traumatic injury and the early detection of hypovolaemia is critical to effective management. However, accurate assessment of circulating blood volume is challenging when using traditional vital signs such as blood pressure. We conducted a study to compare the stroke volume (SV) recorded using two devices, trans-thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) and supra-sternal Doppler (SSD), against a reference standard using trans- thoracic echocardiography (TTE). Methods A lower body negative pressure (LBNP) model was used to simulate hypovolaemia and in half of the study sessions lower limb tourniquets were applied as these are common in military practice and can potentially affect some haemodynamic monitoring systems. In order to provide a clinically relevant comparison we constructed an error grid alongside more traditional measures of agreement. Results 21 healthy volunteers aged 18–40 were enrolled and underwent 2 sessions of LBNP, with and without lower limb tourniquets. With respect to absolute SV values Bland Altman analysis showed significant bias in both non-tourniquet and tourniquet strands for TEB (-42.5 / -49.6 ml), rendering further analysis impossible. For SSD bias was minimal but percentage error was unacceptably high (35% / 48%). Degree of agreement for dynamic change in SV, assessed using 4 quadrant plots showed a seemingly acceptable concordance rate for both TEB (86% / 93%) and SSD (90% / 91%). However, when results were plotted on an error grid, constructed based on expert clinical opinion, a significant minority of measurement errors were identified that had potential to lead to moderate or severe patient harm. Conclusion Thoracic bioimpedance and suprasternal Doppler both demonstrated measurement errors that had the potential to lead to clinical harm and caution should be applied in interpreting the results in the detection of early hypovolaemia following traumatic injury.

Abstract
Background Objective markers of cardiac function are limited in the outpatient setting and may be beneficial for monitoring patients with chronic cardiac conditions. We assess the accuracy of a scale, with the ability to capture ballistocardiography, electrocardiography, and impedance plethysmography signals from a patient's feet while standing on the scale, in measuring stroke volume and cardiac output compared with the gold-standard direct Fick method. Methods and Results Thirty-two patients with unexplained dyspnea undergoing level 3 invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test at a tertiary medical center were included in the final analysis. We obtained scale and direct Fick measurements of stroke volume and cardiac output before and immediately after invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test. Stroke volume and cardiac output from a cardiac scale and the direct Fick method correlated with r=0.81 and r=0.85, respectively (P<0.001 each). The mean absolute error of the scale estimated stroke volume was -1.58 mL, with a 95% limits of agreement of -21.97 to 18.81 mL. The mean error for the scale estimated cardiac output was -0.31 L/min, with a 95% limits of agreement of -2.62 to 2.00 L/min. The changes in stroke volume and cardiac output before and after exercise were 78.9% and 96.7% concordant, respectively, between the 2 measuring methods. Conclusions In a proof-of-concept study, this novel scale with cardiac monitoring abilities may allow for noninvasive, longitudinal measures of cardiac function. Using the widely accepted form factor of a bathroom scale, this method of monitoring can be easily integrated into a patient's lifestyle.

Abstract
Background The present study aimed to evaluate the reliability of hemodynamic changes induced by lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) in predicting stroke volume (SV) increase after fluid loading (FL) in prone position. Methods Thirty patients undergoing spine surgery in prone position were enrolled. Lung-protective ventilation (tidal volume, 6–7 mL/kg; positive end-expiratory pressure, 5 cmH2O) was provided to all patients. LRM (30 cmH2O for 30 s) was performed. Hemodynamic variables including mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, SV, SV variation (SVV), and pulse pressure variation (PPV) were simultaneously recorded before, during, and at 5 min after LRM and after FL (250 mL in 10 min). Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to evaluate the predictability of SVV, PPV, and SV decrease by LRM (ΔSVLRM) for SV responders (SV increase after FL > 10%). The gray zone approach was applied for ΔSVLRM. Results Areas under the curve (AUCs) for ΔSVLRM, SVV, and PPV to predict SV responders were 0.778 (95% confidence interval: 0.590–0.909), 0.563 (0.371–0.743), and 0.502 (0.315–0.689), respectively. The optimal threshold for ΔSVLRM was 30% (sensitivity, 92.3%; specificity, 70.6%). With the gray zone approach, the inconclusive values ranged 25 to 75% for ΔSVLRM (including 50% of enrolled patients). Conclusion In prone position, LRM-induced SV decrease predicted SV increase after FL with higher reliability than traditional dynamic indices. On the other hand, considering the relatively large gray zone in this study, future research is needed to further improve the clinical significance.

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
Background To assure the equivalence between new clinical measurement methods and the standard methods, the four-quadrant plot and the plot’s concordance rate is used in clinical practice, along with Bland-Altman analysis. The conventional concordance rate does not consider the correlation among the data on individual subjects, which may affect its proper evaluation. Methods We propose a new concordance rate for the four-quadrant plot based on multivariate normal distribution to take into account the covariance within each individual subject. The proposed concordance rate is formulated as the conditional probability of the agreement. It contains a parameter to set the minimum concordant number between two measurement methods, which is regarded as agreement. This parameter allows flexibility in the interpretation of the results. Results Through numerical simulations, the AUC value of the proposed method was 0.967, while that of the conventional concordance rate was 0.938. In the application to a real example, the AUC value of the proposed method was 0.999 and that of the conventional concordance rate was 0.964. Conclusion From the results of numerical simulations and a real example, the proposed concordance rate showed better accuracy and higher diagnosability than the conventional approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The possibility of accurately and continuously measuring arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 ) in horses may facilitate the management of hypoxaemia during general anaesthesia. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of a novel fibreoptic sensor to measure PaO2 (PaO2Sensor ) continuously and in real time in horses undergoing ventilatory manoeuvres during general anaesthesia. STUDY DESIGN In vivo experimental study. METHODS Six adult healthy horses were anaesthetised and mechanically ventilated in dorsal recumbency. A fibreoptic sensor was placed in one of the facial arteries through a catheter to continuously measure and record PaO2Sensor . After an alveolar recruitment manoeuvre, a decremental positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration using 20-minute steps of 5 cm H2 O from 20 to 0 cm H2 O was performed. An arterial blood sample was collected at 15 minutes of ventilation at each PEEP level for PaO2 measurement using an automated blood gas machine (PaO2Ref ). The agreement between PaO2Sensor and PaO2Ref was assessed by Pearson's correlation, Bland-Altman plot and four-quadrant plot analysis. In the last minute of ventilation at each PEEP level, a slow tidal inflation/deflation manoeuvre was performed. RESULTS The mean relative bias between PaO2Sensor and PaO2Ref was 4% with limits of agreement between -17% and 29%. The correlation coefficient between PaO2Sensor and PaO2Ref was 0.98 (P < .001). The PaO2Sensor and PaO2Ref concordance rate for changes was 95%. Measurements of PaO2Sensor during the slow inflation/deflation manoeuvre at PEEP 15 and 10 cm H2 O were not possible because of significant noise on the PaO2 signal generated by a small blood clot. MAIN LIMITATIONS Small sample size. CONCLUSION The tested fibreoptic probe was able to accurately and continuously measure PaO2Sensor in anaesthetised horses undergoing ventilatory manoeuvres. A heparinised system in the catheter used by the fibreoptic sensor should be used to avoid blood clots and artefacts in the PaO2 measurements.

Abstract
Objective.Breast cancer treatment can negatively impact cardiac function in some breast cancer patients. Current methods (MUGA, echocardiography) used in clinical practice to detect abnormal cardiac changes as a result of treatment suffer from important limitations. Use of alternative techniques that would offer safe, inexpensive and non-invasive cardiac function assessment in this population would be highly advantageous. The aim of this study was to examine the agreement between impedance cardiography (ICG) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in quantifying stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) and end-diastolic volume (EDV) in this population.Approach.Sixteen breast cancer patients underwent ICG and CMR assessments at three time-points (before treatment, immediately after chemotherapy, and four months after chemotherapy). Bland-Altman analysis was used to quantify the accuracy and precision of ICG (relative to CMR) in estimating absolute values of SV, CO and EDV. Four methods (concordance rate, polar concordance rate, clinical concordance rate and trend interchangeability rate) were also used to assess ICG performance in tracking changes in these variables.Main results.Bland-Altman analysis showed that the accuracy of ICG relative to CMR was -3.1 ml (SV), 0.2 l·min-1(CO) and -26.0 ml (EDV) and precision was 13.2 ml (SV), 1.1 l·min-1(CO) and 20.1 ml (EDV), respectively. Trending ability assessment showed that (1) the concordance rate was 87% (SV), 73% (CO) and 73% (EDV), (2) the polar concordance rate was 67% (SV), 53% (CO) and 33% (EDV), (3) the clinical concordance rate was 33% (SV), 40% (CO) and 20% (EDV) and (4) the trend interchangeability rate was 29% (SV), 43% (CO) and 17% (EDV), respectively.Significance.Our findings show that, although ICG showed good accuracy for absolute SV and CO measurements and for CO and EDV changes, precision was poor for all variables in terms of both absolute measurements and trend tracking performance. This suggests that ICG cannot be used interchangeably with CMR in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cardiac output (CO) is an important parameter in fluid management decisions for treating hemodynamically unstable patients in intensive care unit. The gold standard for CO measurements is the thermodilution method, which is an invasive procedure with intermittent results. Recently, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has emerged as a new method for noninvasive measurements of stroke volume (SV). The objectives of this paper are to compare EIT with an invasive pulse contour analysis (PCA) method in measuring SV during mini-fluid challenge in animals and determine preload responsiveness with EIT. Five pigs were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. After removing 25% to 30% of the total blood from each animal, multiple fluid injections were conducted. The EIT device successfully tracked changes in SV beat-to-beat during varying volume states, i.e., from hypovolemia and preload responsiveness to target volume and volume overload. From a total of 50 100-mL fluid injections on five pigs (10 injections per pig), the preload responsiveness value was as large as 32.3% in the preload responsiveness state while in the volume overload state it was as low as -4.9%. The bias of the measured SV data using EIT and PCA was 0 mL, and the limits of agreement were ±3.6 mL in the range of 17.6 mL to 51.0 mL. The results of the animal experiments suggested that EIT is capable of measuring beat-to-beat SV changes during mini-fluid challenge and determine preload responsiveness. Further animal and clinical studies will be needed to demonstrate the feasibility of the EIT method as a new tool for fluid management.

Abstract
Background Cardiac index (CI; cardiac output indexed to body surface area) is routinely measured during kidney transplant surgery. Bioimpedance cardiometry is a transthoracic impedance as the non-invasive alternative for hemodynamic monitoring, using semi-invasive uncalibrated pulse wave or contour (UPC) analysis. Objectives We performed a cross-sectional observational study on 50 kidney transplant patients to compare the CI measurement agreement, concordance rate, and trending ability between bioimpedance and UPC analysis. Methods For each patient, CI was measured by bioimpedance analysis (ICONTM) and UPC analysis (EV1000TM) devices at three time points: after induction, during incision, and at reperfusion. The device measurement accuracy was assessed by the bias value, limit of agreement (LoA), and percentage error (PE) using Bland-Altman analyses. Trending ability was assessed by angular bias and polar concordance through four-quadrant and polar plot analyses. Results From each time point and pooled measurement, the correlation coefficients were 0.267, 0.327, 0.321, and 0.348. Bland-Altman analyses showed mean bias values of 1.18, 1.06, 1.48, and 1.30, LoA of -1.35 to 3.72, -1.39 to 3.51, -1.07 to 4.04, and -1.17 to 3.78, and PE of 82.21, 78.50, 68.74, and 74.58%, respectively. Polar plot analyses revealed angular bias values of -10.37º, -15.01º, -18.68º, and -12.62º, with radial LoA of 89.79º, 85.86º, 83.38º, and 87.82º, respectively. The four-quadrant plot concordance rates were 70.77, 67.35, 65.90, and 69.79%. These analyses showed poor agreement, weak concordance, and low trending ability of bioimpedance cardiometry to UPC analysis. Conclusions Bioimpedance and UPC analysis for CI measurements were not interchangeable in patients undergoing kidney transplant surgery. Cardiac index monitoring using bioimpedance cardiometry during kidney transplantation should be interpreted cautiously because it showed poor reliability due to low accuracy, precision, and trending ability for CI measurement.

Abstract
The administration of lithium chloride (LiCl) for cardiac output (CO) measurement via a peripheral instead of a central vein has been described previously as a valid alternative route in pigs and dogs. The aim of the study was to compare CO measurements after administration of LiCl using two peripheral veins, cephalic or jugular, in goats. Ten adult, female, experimental goats undergoing bilateral stifle arthrotomy were recruited for the study. Paired CO measurements were taken two minutes apart during stable conditions in isoflurane-anaesthetised goats. Forty-two paired CO measurements were taken in total, and the median (range) of paired CO measurement per goat were 4.5 (3-6). The mean (SD) CO using the cephalic and jugular vein for injection of LiCl was 5.28 (1.29) L min-1 and 5.20 (1.24) L min-1 respectively. The Bland-Altman analysis showed an acceptable agreement with a mean bias of 1.33% with limits of agreement (LoA) of -18.43 to 21.09%. The percentage of error was 25%. The four-quadrant plot analysis showed a poor agreement (71%) between the two routes. The polar plot showed a poor trending ability. An 86% inclusion rate (18/21 points) was reached with a ± 35° radial sector size. The findings revealed that the agreement between the two routes is not as precise as the authors expected, however the results are comparable with studies published previously.
