Abstract
INTRODUCTION Measuring the hypovolemic resuscitation end point remains a critical care challenge. Our project compared clinical hypovolemia (CH) with three diagnostic adjuncts: 1) noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM), 2) ultrasound (US) static IVC collapsibility (US-IVC), and 3) US dynamic carotid upstroke velocity (US-C). We hypothesized US measures would correlate more closely to CH than NICOM. METHODS Adult trauma/surgical intensive care unit patients were prospectively screened for suspected hypovolemia after acute resuscitation, excluding patients with burns, known heart failure, or severe liver/kidney disease. Adjunct measurements were assessed up to twice a day until clinical improvement. Hypovolemia was defined as: 1) NICOM: ≥10% stroke volume variation with passive leg raise, 2) US-IVC: <2.1 cm and >50% collapsibility (nonventilated) or >18% collapsibility (ventilated), 3) US-C: peak systolic velocity increase 15 cm/s with passive leg raise. Previously unknown cardiac dysfunction seen on US was noted. Observation-level data were analyzed with a Cohen's kappa (κ). RESULTS 44 patients (62% male, median age 60) yielded 65 measures. Positive agreement with CH was 47% for NICOM, 37% for US-IVC and 10% for US-C. None of the three adjuncts correlated with CH (κ -0.045 to 0.029). After adjusting for previously unknown cardiac dysfunction present in 10 patients, no adjuncts correlated with CH (κ -0.036 to 0.031). No technique correlated with any other (κ -0.118 to 0.083). CONCLUSIONS None of the adjunct measurements correlated with CH or each other, highlighting that fluid status assessment remains challenging in critical care. US should assess for right ventricular dysfunction prior to resuscitation.

Effect of the Presence of Cardiac Tamponade on Jugular Vein Diameter in Cases of Cardiac Arrest Due to Thoracic Aortic Disease. Cureus 2023; 15:e50791.

Abstract
Background There have so far been no reports regarding whether or not the jugular veins remain distended even in cases of cardiac arrest, which is the worst form of shock. We focused on the diameter of the jugular vein in neck computed tomography (CT) in cases of thoracic aortic disease resulting in cardiac arrest to determine whether or not cardiac tamponade increased the diameter. Methodology From January 2014 to December 2021, patients were eligible for inclusion when they were transported to our hospital, judged to be in cardiac arrest at the emergency department, and then diagnosed with thoracic aortic disease as the cause of cardiac arrest according to CT. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence (tamponade (+)) or absence (tamponade (-)) of cardiac tamponade. Comparisons between the two groups were also conducted after excluding cases in which relief of cardiac tamponade was obtained before CT or that had hemothorax. Results There were 52 cases in the cardiac tamponade (+) group and 16 in the cardiac tamponade (-) group. The diameters of both the right and left internal jugular veins were significantly larger in the cardiac tamponade (+) group than in the cardiac tamponade (-) group. After excluding cases with relief of cardiac tamponade before CT and hemothorax complications, the right and left internal and external jugular vein diameters in the cardiac tamponade (+) group were still significantly greater than those in the cardiac tamponade (-) group. Conclusions The present study showed that the cardiac tamponade induced by thoracic aortic cases tended to display larger internal jugular vein diameters compared to cases without cardiac tamponade, even in patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Additionally, cardiac tamponade consistently presented with larger diameters in the right-sided jugular vein.

Respiratory variation in the internal jugular vein does not predict fluid responsiveness in the prone position during adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery: a prospective cohort study. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:360. [PMID: 37932674 PMCID: PMC10626766 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02313-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory variation in the internal jugular vein (IJVV) has not shown promising results in predicting volume responsiveness in ventilated patients with low tidal volume (Vt) in prone position. We aimed to determine whether the baseline respiratory variation in the IJVV value measured by ultrasound might predict fluid responsiveness in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) with low Vt. METHODS According to the fluid responsiveness results, the included patients were divided into two groups: those who responded to volume expansion, denoted the responder group, and those who did not respond, denoted the non-responder group. The primary outcome was determination of the value of baseline IJVV in predicting fluid responsiveness (≥15% increases in stroke volume index (SVI) after 7 ml·kg-1 colloid administration) in patients with AIS undergoing PSF during low Vt ventilation. Secondary outcomes were estimation of the diagnostic performance of pulse pressure variation (PPV), stroke volume variation (SVV), and the combination of IJVV and PPV in predicting fluid responsiveness in this surgical setting. The ability of each parameter to predict fluid responsiveness was assessed using a receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Fifty-six patients were included, 36 (64.29%) of whom were deemed fluid responsive. No significant difference in baseline IJVV was found between responders and non-responders (25.89% vs. 23.66%, p = 0.73), and no correlation was detected between baseline IJVV and the increase in SVI after volume expansion (r = 0.14, p = 0.40). A baseline IJVV greater than 32.00%, SVV greater than 14.30%, PPV greater than 11.00%, and a combination of IJVV and PPV greater than 64.00% had utility in identifying fluid responsiveness, with a sensitivity of 33.33%, 77.78%, 55.56%, and 55.56%, respectively, and a specificity of 80.00%, 50.00%, 65.00%, and 65.00%, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the baseline values of IJVV, SVV, PPV, and the combination of IJVV and PPV was 0.52 (95% CI, 0.38-0.65, p=0.83), 0.54 (95% CI, 0.40-0.67, p=0.67), 0.58 (95% CI, 0.45-0.71, p=0.31), and 0.57 (95% CI, 0.43-0.71, p=0.37), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasonic-derived IJVV lacked accuracy in predicting fluid responsiveness in patients with AIS undergoing PSF during low Vt ventilation. In addition, the baseline values of PPV, SVV, and the combination of IJVV and PPV did not predict fluid responsiveness in this surgical setting.

Abstract
Goals of volume management are to accurately assess intravascular and extravascular volume and predict response to volume administration, vasopressor support or volume removal. Data are reviewed that support the following: (i) Dynamic parameters reliably guide volume administration and may improve clinical outcomes compared with static parameters, but some are invasive or only validated with mechanical ventilation without spontaneous breathing. (ii) Ultrasound visualization of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter variations with respiration reliably assesses intravascular volume and predicts volume responsiveness. (iii) Although physiology of IVC respiratory variations differs with mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing, the IVC collapsibility index (CI) and distensibility index are interconvertible. (iv) Prediction of volume responsiveness by IVC CI is comparable for mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing patients. (v) Respiratory variations of subclavian/proximal axillary and internal jugular veins by ultrasound are alternative sites, with comparable reliability. (vi) Data support clinical applicability of IVC CI to predict hypotension with anesthesia, guide ultrafiltration goals, predict dry weight, predict intra-dialytic hypotension and assess acute decompensated heart failure. (vii) IVC ultrasound may complement ultrasound of heart and lungs, and abdominal organs for venous congestion, for assessing and managing volume overload and deresuscitation, renal failure and shock. (viii) IVC ultrasound has limitations including inadequate visualization. Ultrasound data should always be interpreted in clinical context. Additional studies are required to further assess and validate the role of bedside ultrasonography in clinical care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of inferior vena cava (IVC) distensibility index (∆IVC) and respiratory variation in peak aortic blood flow velocity (∆Vpeak) to predict fluid responsiveness in ventilated children with shock and to find out the best cut-off values for predicting fluid responsiveness. METHODS In this prospective observational study, conducted in a pediatric ICU from January 2019 through May 2020, consecutive children aged 2 mo to 17 y with shock requiring fluid bolus were included. ∆IVC and ∆Vpeak were measured before and immediately after 10 ml/kg fluid bolus administration. ∆IVC and ∆Vpeak were compared between responders and non-responders, defined by a change in stroke volume index (SVI) of ≥10%. RESULTS Thirty-seven ventilated children [26 (70.4%) boys] with median age of 60 (36, 108) mo were included. The median (IQR) ∆IVC was 21.7% (14.3, 30.9) and the median (IQR) ΔVpeak was 11.3% (7.2, 15.2). Twenty-three (62%) children were fluid responsive. The median (IQR) ∆IVC was higher in responders compared to non-responders [26% (16.9, 36.5) vs. 17.2% (8.4, 21.9); p = 0.018] and mean (SD) ΔVpeak was higher in responders [13.9% (6.1) vs. 8.4% (3.9), p = 0.004]. The prediction of fluid responsiveness with ΔIVC [ROC curve area 0.73 (0.56-0.9), p = 0.01] and ΔVpeak [ROC curve area 0.78 (0.63-0.94), p = 0.002] was similar. The best cut-off of ∆IVC to predict fluid responsiveness was 23% (sensitivity, 60.8%; specificity, 85.7%) and ΔVpeak was 11.3% (sensitivity, 74%; specificity, 86%). CONCLUSIONS In this study, authors found that ∆IVC and ΔVpeak were good predictors of fluid responsiveness in ventilated children with shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurately determining the fluid status of a patient during resuscitation in the emergency department (ED) helps guide appropriate fluid administration in the setting of undifferentiated hypotension. Our goal was to determine the diagnostic utility of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) for inferior vena cava (IVC) size and collapsibility in predicting a volume overload fluid status in spontaneously breathing hypotensive ED patients. METHODS This was a post hoc secondary analysis of the SHOC-ED data, a prospective randomized controlled trial investigating PoCUS in patients with undifferentiated hypotension. We prospectively collected data on IVC size and collapsibility for 138 patients in the PoCUS group using a standard data collection form, and independently assigned a fluid status (volume overloaded, normal, volume deplete) from a composite clinical chart review blinded to PoCUS findings. The primary outcome was the diagnostic performance of IVC characteristics on PoCUS in the detection of a volume overloaded fluid status. RESULTS One hundred twenty-nine patients had completed determinant IVC assessment by PoCUS, with one hundred twenty-five receiving successful final fluid status determination, of which one hundred and seven were classified as volume deplete, thirteen normal, and seven volume overloaded. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted using several IVC size and collapsibility categories. The best overall performance utilized the combined parameters of a dilated IVC (> 2.5 cm) with minimal collapsibility (less than 50%) which had a sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 86.4% with an area under the curve (AOC) of 0.92 for predicting an volume overloaded fluid status. CONCLUSION IVC PoCUS is feasible in spontaneously breathing hypotensive adult ED patients, and demonstrates potential value as a predictor of a volume overloaded fluid status in patients with undifferentiated hypotension. IVC size may be the preferred measure.

Abstract
Background and Aim Spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension (SAIH) is a frequent side effect of spinal anaesthesia. SAIH is usually observed in patients with hypovolemia. Ultrasonography has evolved as a non-invasive tool for volume status assessment. Methods This prospective, blinded, observational study was conducted on 75 adult patients who required spinal anaesthesia after receiving ethical approval and registering the study. Ultrasonographic evaluation of the aorta and the inferior vena cava (IVC) was done preoperatively, and the IVC collapsibility index (IVCCI) and caval aorta index were calculated. The incidence of SAIH was recorded. The strength of the association between different parameters and SAIH was calculated. To find out the value of the optimal cut-off for the prediction of SAIH, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for various ultrasound parameters was done. The bidirectional stepwise selection was utilised for multivariate analysis to choose the single best predictor. Results SAIH was observed in 36 patients. Among demographic parameters, age, female gender, and height showed a medium correlation. Among ultrasonographic measurements, minimum IVC internal diameter (IVCmin) and IVCCI showed a strong association with SAIH. The best parameter regarding area under the ROC curve (AUC) and diagnostic accuracy was IVCCI (0.828 and 85%, respectively). On multivariate analysis, age (95% CI [1.01, 1.12], P = 0.024) and IVCCI (95% CI [1.05, 1.18], P < 0.001) were significant independent predictors. At a cut-off point of ≥43.5%, IVCCI accurately predicted SAIH (sensitivity 81% and specificity 90%). Conclusion Preoperative ultrasonographic assessment of IVC to evaluate its collapsibility index is a convenient, cost-effective, and reproducible tool for predicting SAIH.

Abstract
Introduction Post-spinal hypotension (PSH) frequently occurs in women undergoing cesarean section. In recent studies, Ultrasound-guided measurements of the internal jugular vein (IJV) have been reported to predict fluid responsiveness. We planned to evaluate the correlation between the internal jugular vein collapsibility index (IJVCI) and PSH in cesarean section patients. Methods Ninety-one parturients who underwent elective lower segment cesarean section with a singleton pregnancy were recruited. Preoperatively, patients were placed in a supine position with a 15-degree left lateral tilt. Maximum (at the end of expiration) and minimum (at the end of inspiration) IJV diameters (mm) and IJVCI were assessed using M-mode imaging during spontaneous and deep breathing. Spinal anaesthesia was performed at the L3-4 or L4-5 level. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and SpO2 were recorded from baseline till the delivery of the baby. Results Among 91 patients, 40 (45.5%) patients had at least one episode of hypotension. Demographic variables and baseline vitals were comparable between the hypotensive and normotensive groups (p>0.05). In spontaneous and deep breathing, IJV diameter at the end-expiration (IJVdmax), end-inspiration (IJVdmin), and IJVCI amongst both hypotensive and non-hypotensive pregnant women were statistically similar. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that during spontaneous breathing, using a cut-off point of 29.5%, IJVCI had a sensitivity and specificity of 70% and 23%, respectively, for predicting PSH; whereas during deep breathing, IJVCI had a sensitivity and specificity of 77% and 27%, respectively, for predicting the same using a cut-off value of 37.5%. Conclusion We conclude that internal jugular vein parameters such as maximum diameter, minimum diameter, and IJVCI during spontaneous and deep breathing cannot be used as reliable predictors of post-spinal hypotension in pregnant patients undergoing elective cesarean section.

The Incremental Role of Multiorgan Point-of-Care Ultrasounds in the Emergency Setting. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:2088. [PMID: 36767456 PMCID: PMC9915087 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20032088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) represents a goal-directed ultrasound examination performed by clinicians directly involved in patient healthcare. POCUS has been widely used in emergency departments, where US exams allow physicians to make quick diagnoses and to recognize early life-threatening conditions which require prompt interventions. Although initially meant for the real-time evaluation of cardiovascular and respiratory pathologies, its use has been extended to a wide range of clinical applications, such as screening for deep-vein thrombosis and trauma, abdominal ultrasonography of the right upper quadrant and appendix, and guidance for invasive procedures. Moreover, recently, bedside ultrasounds have been used to evaluate the fluid balance and to guide decongestive therapy in acutely decompensated heart failure. The aim of the present review was to discuss the most common applications of POCUS in the emergency setting.

Flat Inferior Vena Cava on Computed Tomography for Predicting Shock and Mortality in Trauma: A Meta-Analysis. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12122972. [PMID: 36552979 PMCID: PMC9776978 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12122972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Hypovolemia may be underestimated due to compensatory mechanisms. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigated the diagnostic accuracy of a flat inferior vena cava (IVC) on computed tomography (CT) for predicting the development of shock and mortality in trauma patients. Relevant studies were obtained by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases (articles up to 16 September 2022). The number of 2-by-2 contingency tables for the index test were collected. We adopted the Bayesian bivariate random-effects meta-analysis model. Twelve studies comprising a total of 1706 patients were included. The flat IVC on CT showed 0.46 pooled sensitivity (95% credible interval [CrI] 0.32-0.63), 0.87 pooled specificity (95% CrI 0.78-0.94), and 0.78 pooled AUC (95% CrI 0.58-0.93) for the development of shock. The flat IVC for mortality showed 0.48 pooled sensitivity (95% CrI 0.21-0.94), 0.70 pooled specificity (95% CrI 0.47-0.88), and 0.60 pooled AUC (95% CrI 0.26-0.89). Regarding the development of shock, flat IVC provided acceptable accuracy with high specificity. Regarding in-hospital mortality, the flat IVC showed poor accuracy. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the high risk of bias and substantial heterogeneity in some included studies.

A Prospective Observational Study. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:1615. [PMID: 36363572 PMCID: PMC9695314 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58111615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
Background and objectives: To investigate whether ultrasound (US)-guided femoral vein (FV) and inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements obtained before spinal anesthesia (SA) can be utilized to predict SA-induced hypotension (SAIH) and to identify risk factors associated with SAIH in patients undergoing non-obstetric surgery under SA. Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted between November 2021 and April 2022. The study included 95 patients over the age of 18 with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status score of 1 or 2. The maximum and minimum diameters of FV and IVC were measured under US guidance before SA initiation, and the collapsibility index values of FV and IVC were calculated. Patients with and without SAIH were compared. Results: SAIH was observed in 12 patients (12.6%). Patients with and without SAIH were similar in terms of age [58 (IQR: 19-70) vs. 48 (IQR: 21-71; p = 0.081) and sex (males comprised 63.9% of the SAIH and 75.0% of the non-SAIH groups) (p = 0.533). According to univariate analysis, no significant relationship was found between SAIH and any of the FV or IVC measurements. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that having an ASA class of 2 was the only independent risk factor for SAIH development (p = 0.014), after adjusting for age, sex, and all other relevant parameters. Conclusions: There is not enough evidence to accept the feasibility of utilizing US-guided FV or IVC measurements to screen for SAIH development in patients undergoing non-obstetric surgery under SA. For this, multicenter studies with more participants are needed.

Maximum inferior vena cava diameter predicts post-induction hypotension in hypertensive patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia: A prospective cohort study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:958259. [PMID: 36267641 PMCID: PMC9576846 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.958259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasonography is a reliable variable that predicts post-induction hypotension (PIH) in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. However, in patients with hypertension, the predictive performance of ultrasound IVC measurements needs further exploration. Methods This is a prospective cohort study. Adult patients with existing hypertension scheduled to undergo non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia were eligible. An abdominal ultrasound examination was conducted immediately prior to anesthesia induction (0.03 mg kg–1 midazolam, 0.3 mg kg–1 etomidate, 0.4 μg kg–1 sufentanil, and 0.6 mg kg–1 rocuronium). IVC collapsibility index (IVC-CI) was calculated as (dIVCmax–dIVCmin)/dIVCmax, where dIVCmax and dIVCmin represent the maximum and minimum IVC diameters at the end of expiration and inspiration, respectively. PIH was defined as a reduction of mean arterial pressure (MAP) by >30% of the baseline or to <60 mmHg within 10 min after endotracheal intubation. The diagnostic performance of IVC-CI, dIVCmax, and dIVCmin in predicting PIH was also examined in a group of normotensive patients receiving non-cardiac surgery under the same anesthesia protocol. Results A total of 51 hypertensive patients (61 ± 13 years of age, 31 women) and 52 normotensive patients (42 ± 13 years of age, 35 women) were included in the final analysis. PIH occurred in 33 (64.7%) hypertensive patients and 19 (36.5%) normotensive patients. In normotensive patients, the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) in predicting PIH was 0.896 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.804–0.987) for IVC-CI, 0.770 (95% CI: 0.633–0.908) for dIVCmax, and 0.868 (95% CI: 0.773–0.963) for dIVCmin. In hypertensive patients, the AUC in predicting PIH was 0.523 (95% CI: 0.354–0.691) for IVC-CI, 0.752 (95% CI: 0.621–0.883) for dIVCmax, and 0.715 (95% CI: 0.571–0.858) for dIVCmin. At the optimal cutoff (1.24 cm), dIVCmax had 54.5% (18/33) sensitivity and 94.4% (17/18) specificity. Conclusion In hypertensive patients, IVC-CI is unsuitable for predicting PIH, and dIVCmax is an alternative measure with promising performance.
