Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether changes in the pleth variability index (PVi) during preoxygenation with forced ventilation for 1 min could predict anesthesia-induced hypotension. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING A tertiary teaching hospital. PATIENTS Ninety-six patients who underwent general anesthesia using total intravenous anesthesia were enrolled. INTERVENTIONS Upon the patient's arrival at the preoperative waiting area, a PVi sensor was affixed to their fourth fingertip. For preoxygenation, forced ventilation of 8 breaths/min in a 1:2 inspiratory-expiratory ratio was conducted using the guidance of an audio file. One minute after preoxygenation, anesthetic administration was initiated. Blood pressure was measured for the next 15 min. MEASUREMENTS We calculated the difference (dPVi) and percentage of change (%PVi) between the PVi values immediately before and after forced ventilation. Anesthesia-induced hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure of <60 mmHg within 15 min after the infusion of anesthetics. MAIN RESULTS Overall, 87 patients were included in the final analysis. Anesthesia-induced hypotension occurred in 31 (35.6%) of the 87 patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses identified a cut-off value of -2 for dPVi, with an area under the curve of 0.691 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.564-0.818; P < 0.001) and a cut-off value of -7.6% for %PVi, with an area under the curve of 0.711 (95% CI, 0.589-0.832; P < 0.001). Further, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a low %PVi with an odds ratio of 9.856 (95% CI, 3.131-31.032; P < 0.001) was a significant determinant of anesthesia-induced hypotension. CONCLUSIONS Hypotension frequently occurs during general anesthesia induction and can impact outcomes. Additionally, the percentage change in the PVi before and after preoxygenation using deep breathing can be used to predict anesthesia-induced hypotension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) has been reported to reduce postoperative complications of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The clinical benefits of pleth variability index (PVI)-directed fluid management for gastrointestinal (GI) surgical patients remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of PVI-directed GDFT on GI surgical outcomes in elderly patients. METHODS This randomised controlled trial was conducted in two university teaching hospitals from November 2017 to December 2020. In total, 220 older adults undergoing GI surgery were randomised to the GDFT or conventional fluid therapy (CFT) group (n = 110 each). The primary outcome was a composite of complications within 30 postoperative days. The secondary outcomes were cardiopulmonary complications, time to first flatus, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and postoperative length of stay. RESULTS The total volumes of fluid administered were less in the GDFT group than in the CFT group (2.075 L versus [vs.] 2.5 L, P = 0.008). In intention-to-treat analysis, there was no difference in overall complications between the CFT group (41.3%) and GDFT group (43.0%) (odds ratio [OR] = 0.935; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.541-1.615; P = 0.809). The proportion of cardiopulmonary complications was higher in the CFT group than in the GDFT group (19.2% vs. 8.4%; OR = 2.593, 95% CI, 1.120-5.999; P = 0.022). No other differences were identified between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Among elderly patients undergoing GI surgery, intraoperative GDFT based on the simple and non-invasive PVI did not reduce the occurrence of composite postoperative complications but was associated with a lower cardiopulmonary complication rate than usual fluid management. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-TRC-17012220) on 1 August 2017.

Abstract
Background To explore the correlation and consistency of non-invasive pleth variability index (PVI) combined with ultrasonic measurement of inferior vena cava-collapsibility index (IVC-CI) in parturients with twin pregnancies undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Methods Forty-seven twin pregnancies women undergoing elective cesarean section were selected. The ASA score was rated as I–II, aged from 18 to 45 years. Spinal anesthesia was performed at L3–4. PVI and IVC-CI, general data (BMI, gestational weeks, operation duration, blood loss), MAP, temperature sensory block level and adverse reactions were recorded at baseline (T1) and completion of testing the level of spinal anesthesia (T2). Results The correlation coefficient analysis of baseline IVC-CI% and PVI revealed that the Pearson's coefficient was 0.927, > 0.4. Thus, pre-anesthesia IVC-CI% had a strong correlation with PVI, with R2 of 85.69%. The correlation coefficient analysis of post-anesthesia IVC-CI% and PVI revealed that the Pearson's coefficient was 0.904, > 0.4. Thus, post-anesthesia IVC-CI% had a strong correlation with PVI, with R2 of 81.26%. Conclusion PVI is strongly consistent with ultrasound measurement of IVC-CI twin pregnancies, which can be used as a valuable index for predicting the volume in parturients with twin pregnancies undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Trial registration This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with clinical trial registration number of ChiCTR2200055364 (08/01/2022). The combination of pleth variability index (PVI) and inferior vena cava-collapsibility index (IVC-CI) has correlation and consistency in cesarean delivery in twin pregnancies. The distribution intervals of IVC-CI% and PVI were relatively widely distributed after anesthesia when the blocking plane was in the T5 stratum, narrower at T6, and intermediate at T7. PVI is a valuable predictor of cesarean delivery volume in twin pregnancies in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The phenomenon of pulsus paradoxus (PP) develops at varying rates in relation to the severity of the disease in obstructive respiratory tract disease. The Pleth Variability Index (PVI) is the measurement value of perfusion index changes that occur with ventilation, which are determined during at least one respiratory cycle. Therefore, noninvasive measurement of PVI can help in the measurement of PP. The current study aims to determine the role of PVI measurements before and after bronchodilator therapy during admission to the hospital in children with obstructive respiratory tract disease. METHODS Age, gender, Pulmonary Index Score (PIS), and PVI data of patients aged 2-18 years who applied to the pediatric emergency department with signs of obstructive respiratory tract disease were recorded in triage. The PVI and PIS scores of the patients, who were divided into three groups according to their clinical severity scores, were recorded before and after bronchodilator treatment, and they were compared to the PVI values according to the disposition results. RESULTS A total of 133 patients were included in this prospective, single-center study. The PVI values before and after treatment were significantly higher in patients with severe disease compared to the mild and moderate groups (p < 0.001). Post-treatment PVI values were significantly lower than pre-treatment values in all clinical severity groups (p < 0.001). While a total of 95 (71.43%) patients were discharged from the emergency department, 31 (23.31%) patients were admitted to the relevant department, and seven (5.26%) patients were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. The PVI values before and after treatment were significantly higher in the hospitalized group compared to the group discharged from the emergency department (p < 0.001). The areas under the ROCs were 0.940, 0.865, and 0.843 for the PVI measurements in patients with severe disease, moderate disease, and hospitalization (p< 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Automated PVI measurement can be used as a noninvasive, rapid, and objective tool in the emergency department triage of patients admitted to the pediatric emergency department with signs of asthma attack or reactive respiratory tract disease.

Abstract
Background Our goal is to investigate the use of the oxygen reserve index (ORi) to detect hypoxemia and its relation with parameters such as; peripheral oxygen saturation, perfusion index (PI), and pleth variability index (PVI) during one-lung ventilation (OLV). Methods Fifty patients undergoing general anesthesia and OLV for elective thoracic surgeries were enrolled in an observational cohort study in a tertiary care teaching hospital. All patients required OLV after a left-sided double-lumen tube insertion during intubation. The definition of hypoxemia during OLV is a peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) value of less than 95%, while the inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) is higher than 50% on a pulse oximetry device. ORi, pulse oximetry, PI, and PVI values were measured continuously. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, likelihood ratios, and accuracy were calculated for ORi values equal to zero in different time points during surgery to predict hypoxemia. At Clinicaltrials.gov registry, the Registration ID is NCT05050552. Results Hypoxemia was observed in 19 patients (38%). The accuracy for predicting hypoxemia during anesthesia induction at ORi value equals zero at 5 min after intubation in the supine position (DS5) showed a sensitivity of 92.3% (95% CI 84.9–99.6), specificity of 81.1% (95% CI 70.2–91.9), and an accuracy of 84.0% (95% CI 73.8–94.2). For predicting hypoxemia, ORi equals zero show good sensitivity, specificity, and statistical accuracy values for time points of DS5 until OLV30 where the sensitivity of 43.8%, specificity of 64%, and an accuracy of 56.1% were recorded. ORi and SpO2 correlation was found at DS5, 5 min after lateral position with two-lung ventilation (DL5) and at 10 min after OLV (OLV10) (p = 0.044, p = 0.039, p = 0.011, respectively). Time-dependent correlations also showed that; at a time point of DS5, ORi has a significant negative correlation with PI whereas, no correlations with PVI were noted. Conclusions During the use of OLV for thoracic surgeries, from 5 min after intubation (DS5) up to 30 min after the start of OLV, ORi provides valuable information in predicting hypoxemia defined as SpO2 less than 95% on pulse oximeter at FiO2 higher than 50%.

Abstract
Background Goal-directed volume expansion is increasingly used for fluid management in mechanically ventilated patients. The Pleth Variability Index (PVI) has been shown to reliably predict preload responsiveness; however, a lot of research on PVI has been published recently, and update of the meta-analysis needs to be completed. Methods We searched PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science (updated to November 7, 2018) and the associated references. Relevant authors and researchers had been contacted for complete data. Results Twenty-five studies with 975 mechanically ventilated patients were included in this meta-analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) to predict preload responsiveness was 0.82 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.79–0.85). The pooled sensitivity was 0.77 (95% CI 0.67–0.85) and the pooled specificity was 0.77 (95% CI 0.71–0.82). The results of subgroup of patients without undergoing surgery (AUC =0.86, Youden index =0.65) and the results of subgroup of patients in ICU (AUC =0.89, Youden index =0.67) were reliable. Conclusion The reliability of the PVI is limited, but the PVI can play an important role in bedside monitoring for mechanically ventilated patients who are not undergoing surgery. Patients who are expanded with colloid may be more suitable for PVI.

Abstract
Intraoperative fluid management is quite important in terms of postoperative organ perfusion and complications. Different fluid management protocols are in use for this purpose. Our primary goal was to compare the effects of conventional fluid management (CFM) with the Pleth Variability Index (PVI) guided goal-directed fluid management (GDFM) protocols on the amount of crystalloids administered, blood lactate, and serum creatinine levels during the intraoperative period. The length of hospital stay was our secondary goal. Seventy ASA I–II elective colorectal surgery patients were randomly assigned to CFM or GDFM for fluid management. The hemodynamic data and the data obtained from ABG were recorded at the end of induction and during the follow-up period at 1 h intervals. In the preoperative period and at 24 h postoperatively, blood samples were taken for the measurement of hemoglobin, Na, K, Cl, serum creatinine, albumin and blood lactate. In the first 24 h after surgery, oliguria and the time of first bowel movement were recorded. Length of hospital stay was also recorded. Intraoperative crystalloid administration and urine output were statistically significantly higher in CFM group (p < 0.001, p: 0.018). The end-surgery fluid balance was significantly lower in Group GDFM. Preoperative and postoperative Na, K, Cl, serum albumin, serum creatinine, lactate and hemoglobin values were similar between the groups. The time to passage of stool was significantly short in Group-GDFM compared to Group-CFM (p = 0.016). The length of hospital stay was found to be similar in both group. PVI-guided GDFM might be an alternative to CFM in ASA I–II patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. However, further studies need to be carried out to search the efficiency and safety of PVI.

Abstract
Background Functional hemodynamic parameters such as stroke volume and pulse pressure variation (SVV and PPV) have been shown to be reliable predictors of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. Today, different minimally- and non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring systems measure functional hemodynamic parameters. Although some of these parameters are described by the same name, they differ in their measurement technique and thus may provide different results. We aimed to test the performance of seven functional hemodynamic parameters simultaneously in the same clinical setting. Methods Hemodynamic measurements were done in 30 cardiac surgery patients that were mechanically ventilated. Before and after a standardized intravenous fluid bolus, hemodynamics were measured by the following monitoring systems: PiCCOplus (SVVPiCCO, PPVPiCCO), LiDCOrapid (SVVLiDCO, PPVLiDCO), FloTrac (SVVFloTrac), Philips Intellivue (PPVPhilips) and Masimo pulse oximeter (pleth variability index, PVI). Prediction of fluid responsiveness was tested by calculation of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves including a gray zone approach and compared using Fisher’s Z-Test. Results Fluid administration resulted in an increase in cardiac output, while all functional hemodynamic parameters decreased. A wide range of areas under the ROC-curve (AUC’s) was observed: AUC-SVVPiCCO = 0.91, AUC-PPVPiCCO = 0.88, AUC-SVVLiDCO = 0.78, AUC-PPVLiDCO = 0.89, AUC-SVVFloTrac = 0.87, AUC-PPVPhilips = 0.92 and AUC-PVI = 0.68. Optimal threshold values for prediction of fluid responsiveness ranged between 9.5 and 17.5%. Lowest threshold values were observed for SVVLiDCO, highest for PVI. Conclusion All functional hemodynamic parameters tested except for PVI showed that their use allows a reliable identification of potential fluid responders. PVI however, may not be suitable after cardiac surgery to predict fluid responsiveness. Trial registration NCT02571465, registered on October 7th, 2015 (retrospectively registered).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the ability of pleth variability index (PVI) and respiratory system compliance (RSC) on evaluating the hemodynamic and respiratory effects of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), then to direct PEEP settings in mechanically ventilated critical patients. METHODS We studied 22 mechanically ventilated critical patients in the intensive care unit. Patients were monitored with classical monitor and a pulse co-oximeter, with pulse sensors attached to patients' index fingers. Hemodynamic data [heart rate (HR), perfusion index (PI), PVI, central venous pressure (CVP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SPO2), peripheral blood oxygen content (SPOC) and peripheral blood hemoglobin (SPHB)] as well as the respiratory data [respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (VT), RSC and controlled airway pressure] were recorded for 15 min each at 3 different levels of PEEP (0, 5 and 10 cmH2O). RESULTS Different levels of PEEP (0, 5 and 10 cmH2O) had no obvious effect on RR, HR, MAP, SPO2 and SPOC. However, 10 cmH2O PEEP induced significant hemodynamic disturbances, including decreases of PI, and increases of both PVI and CVP. Meanwhile, 5 cmH2O PEEP induced no significant changes on hemodynamics such as CVP, PI and PVI, but improved the RSC. CONCLUSIONS RSC and PVI may be useful in detecting the hemodynamic and respiratory effects of PEEP, thus may help clinicians individualize PEEP settings in mechanically ventilated patients.

Abstract
Fluid management is challenging and still remains controversial in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The pleth variability index (PVI) has been shown to be a reliable predictor of fluid responsiveness of perioperative and critically ill patients; however, it has not been evaluated in OLT. This study was designed to examine whether the PVI can reliably predict fluid responsiveness in OLT and to compare PVI with other hemodynamic indexes that are measured using the PiCCO2 monitoring system. Twenty-five patients were enrolled in this study. Each patient was monitored using the noninvasive Masimo and PiCCO2 monitoring system. PVI was obtained with a Masimo pulse oximeter. Cardiac index was obtained using a transpulmonary thermodilution technique (CITPTD). Stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation, and systemic vascular resistance index were measured using the PiCCO2 system. Fluid loading (10 mL/kg colloid) was performed at two different phases during the operation, and fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase in CITPTD ≥ 15%. During the dissection phase and the anhepatic phase, respectively, 14 patients (56%) and 18 patients (75%) were classified as responders. There were no differences between the baseline values of the PVI of responders and nonresponders. Area under the curve for PVI was 0.56 (sensitivity 35%, specificity 90%, p = 0.58) at dissection phase, and was 0.55 (sensitivity 55%, specificity 66%, p = 0.58) at anhepatic phase. Of the parameters, a higher area under the curve value was found for SVV. We conclude that PVI was unable to predict fluid responsiveness with sufficient accuracy in patients undergoing OLT, but the SVV parameter was reliable.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Hypertension or hypotension in patients receiving continuous infusions of dexmedetomidine (DEX) is often due to changes in vascular resistance caused by α2 receptor stimulation. We investigated whether baseline perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI), derived from pulse oximetry readings, could predict DEX-induced changes in the hemodynamic status in spontaneously breathing patients. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING Operating room. PATIENTS Patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists performance status 1 or 2) scheduled to undergo lower extremity or abdominal procedures under regional anesthesia were approached. INTERVENTIONS The PI and PVI were set as baseline upon arrival in theater and were then measured at 2.5-minute intervals. Upon attaining stable hemodynamic status under spontaneous breathing, intravenous administration of DEX was initiated at 6 μg kg(-1) h(-1) for 10minutes, followed by continuous infusion at 0.6 μg kg(-1) h(-1). MEASUREMENTS Blood pressure, heart rate, PI, and PVI were measured. Hypertension was defined as an increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) >15% and hypotension as a decrease in SBP <15% from baseline. MAIN RESULTS Baseline PI and PVI correlated with the degree of change in SBP. The maximum percentage increase as well as the maximum percentage of decrease in SBP from baseline correlated with baseline PI (r=0.418 [P=.005] and r=0.507 [P<.001], respectively) and PVI (r=-0.658 [P<.001] and r=-0.438 [P=.003], respectively). PVI <15 identified DEX-induced hypertension (sensitivity 94%, specificity 85%) and PVI >16 identified DEX-induced hypotension (sensitivity 83%, specificity 64%). CONCLUSIONS PVI may predict DEX-induced changes in blood pressure in spontaneously breathing patients.

Abstract
Hemodynamic instability in the beach chair position (BCP) may lead to adverse outcomes. Cardiac preload optimization is a prerequisite to improve hemodynamics. We evaluated the clinical usefulness of dynamic indices for the prediction of fluid responsiveness in BCP patients under general anesthesia. Forty-two patients in the BCP under mechanical ventilation received colloids at 6 ml/kg for 10 min. Stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV), pleth variability index (PVI), and hemodynamic data were measured before and after the fluid challenge. Patients were considered responders to volume expansion if the stroke volume index increased by ≥15 %. The areas under receiver operating characteristic curves for SVV, PPV and PVI were 0.83, 0.81 and 0.74, respectively (p < 0.05), with the corresponding optimal cut-off values of 12, 15 and 10 %. SVV, PPV and PVI can be used to predict fluid responsiveness in the BCP under mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
To systemically evaluate the accuracy of pleth variability index to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. A literature search of PUBMED, OVID, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang Data for clinical studies in which the accuracy of pleth variability index to predict fluid responsiveness was performed (last update 5 April 2015). Related journals were also searched manually. Two reviewers independently assessed trial quality according to the modified QUADAS items. Heterogeneous studies and meta-analysis were conducted by Meta-Disc 1.4 software. A subgroup analysis in the operating room (OR) and in intensive care unit (ICU) was also performed. Differences between subgroups were analyzed using the interaction test. A total of 18 studies involving 665 subjects were included. The pooled area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients was 0.88 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.84-0.91]. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.73 (95 % CI 0.68-0.78) and 0.82 (95 % CI 0.77-0.86), respectively. No heterogeneity was found within studies nor between studies. And there was no significant heterogeneity within each subgroup. No statistical differences were found between OR subgroup and ICU subgroup in the AUC [0.89 (95 % CI 0.85-0.92) versus 0.90 (95 % CI 0.82-0.94); P = 0.97], and in the specificity [0.84 (95 % CI 0.75-0.86) vs. 0.84 (95 % CI 0.75-0.91); P = 1.00]. Sensitivity was higher in the OR subgroup than the ICU subgroup [0.84 (95 % CI 0.78-0.88) vs. 0.56 (95 % CI 0.47-0.64); P = 0.00004]. The pleth variability index has a reasonable ability to predict fluid responsiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the change of PVI after thoracic epidural block on the basis of general anesthesia. METHODS In 26 patients undergoing elective upper abdominal operations, changes of SVI, PVI, SVV, PPV and CVP were monitored immediately before and 10 minutes after T8-9 thoracic epidural anesthesia on the basis of general anesthesia. The definition was that patients with ΔSVI greater than 10% belonged to response group to epidural block. RESULTS Before epidural block, the PVI, SVV and PPV baseline values in patients of response group were significantly higher than those in patients of non-response group. PVI, SVV and PPV after epidural block were significantly higher than immediately before epidural block (P < 0.001). PVI, SVV and PPV baseline values immediately before epidural block were positively correlated with ΔSVI; the correlation coefficients were 0.70, 0.71 and 0.63, respectively, P ≤ 0.001. The optimal critical values for PVI, SVV and PPV to predict response to T8-9 gap epidural block under general anesthesia were 16% (sensitivity 80%, specificity 92%), 13% (sensitivity 90%, specificity 62%) and 12% (sensitivity 90%, specificity 77%), respectively. CONCLUSION PVI can be used as a noninvasive indictor to monitor volume change after thoracic epidural block on the basis of general anesthesia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of pleth variability index (PVI) to phlebotomy in anesthetized children prior to surgery for congenital heart disease. After induction of general anesthesia and prior to surgical incision, approximately 10 mL/kg of blood was removed from 40 mechanically ventilated children over a 5-10 min period. The PVI was continuously monitored. Additionally, the volume of crystalloid required to ensure hemodynamic and near infrared spectroscopy stability was recorded. There was no difference between the pre-phlebotomy PVI (13% ± 6.2) and the post-phlebotomy PVI (16.4% ± 9.6) (P = 0.55). Patients who had a starting PVI ≤14% had a significant increase in PVI after phlebotomy from 9.1% ± 3 to 14.3% ± 7.2 (P = 0.0014). Although, patients with a pre-phlebotomy PVI of >14% required more crystalloid replacement (11 ± 9.4 mL/kg) than those with a PVI ≤14% (5.3 ± 4.7 mL/kg), this was not significant (P = 0.06). In patients who received less crystalloid replacement during phlebotomy, PVI did show a significant increase. Additionally, the data suggests that patients with a pre-phlebotomy PVI >14% required greater fluid replacement than those with a PVI < 14%. Further research is needed to better delineate the utility of PVI in this unique group of patients.
