Hypothesis
Can the calibrated PiCCOplus and the nomogram scaled LiDCOrapid effectively detect fluid responsiveness in surgical ICU patients?
Conclusion
The study found that both SVV and PPV are effective for predicting volume response in patients undergoing surgery.
Supporting Evidence
- PiCCO identified 15 patients as responders (50%) and LiDCO identified 18 patients as responders (60%).
- The sensitivity and specificity of the SVVL and PPVL were both greater than the SVVP.
Takeaway
This study shows that two different monitors can help doctors know if patients need more fluids during surgery.
Methodology
The study involved 30 patients who underwent major surgery, measuring fluid responsiveness using arterial blood pressure waveforms.
Participant Demographics
Patients aged 31 to 90, with varying ASA classifications.
