Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The ability of the third-generation FloTrac/Vigileo software to track changes in cardiac index (CI) induced by volume expansion and norepinephrine in critically ill patients is unknown. METHODS:In subjects with circulatory failure, we administered volume expansion (20 subjects) and increased (20 subjects) or decreased (20 subjects) the dose of norepinephrine. We measured arterial pressure waveform-derived CI provided by the third-generation FloTrac/Vigileo device (CI(pw)) and transpulmonary thermodilution CI (CI(td)) before and after therapeutic interventions. RESULTS:Considering the pairs of measurements performed before and after all therapeutic interventions (n=60), a bias between the absolute values of CI(pw) and CI(td) was 0.26 (0.94) litre min(-1) m(-2) and the percentage error was 54%. Changes in CI(pw) tracked changes in CI(td) induced by volume expansion with moderate accuracy [n=20, bias=-0.11 (0.54) litre min(-1) m(-2), r(2)=0.26, P=0.02]. When changes in CI(td) were induced by norepinephrine (n=40), a bias between CI(pw) and CI(td) was 0.01 (0.41) litre min(-1) m(-2) (r(2)=0.11, P=0.04). The concordance rates between changes in CI(pw) and CI(td) induced by volume expansion and norepinephrine were 73% and 60%, respectively. The bias between changes in CI(pw) and CI(td) significantly correlated with changes in total systemic vascular resistance (r(2)=0.41, P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS:The third-generation FloTrac/Vigileo device was moderately reliable for tracking changes in CI induced by volume expansion and poorly reliable for tracking changes in CI induced by norepinephrine.
