摘要
Introduction: We compared the ability of two devices estimating cardiac output from arterial pressure-curve analysis to track the changes in cardiac output measured with transpulmonary thermodilution induced by volume expansion and norepinephrine in sepsis patients.
Methods: In 80 patients with septic circulatory failure, we administered volume expansion (40 patients) or introduced/ increased norepinephrine (40 patients). We measured the pulse contour-derived cardiac index (CI) provided by the PiCCO device (CIpc), the arterial pressure waveform-derived CI provided by the Vigileo device (CIpw), and the transpulmonary thermodilution CI (CItd) before and after therapeutic interventions.
Results: The changes in CIpc accurately tracked the changes in CItd induced by volume expansion (bias, -0.20 +/- 0.63 L/ min/m(2)) as well as by norepinephrine (bias, -0.05 +/- 0.74 L/min/m(2)). The changes in CIpc accurately detected an increase in CItd >= 15% induced by volume expansion and norepinephrine introduction/increase (area under ROC curves, 0.878 (0.736 to 0.960) and 0.924 (0.795 to 0.983), respectively; P < 0.05 versus 0.500 for both). The changes in CIpw were less reliable for tracking the volume-induced changes in CItd (bias, -0.23 +/- 0.95 L/min/m(2)) and norepinephrine-induced changes in CItd (bias, -0.01 +/- 1.75 L/min/m(2)). The changes in CIpw were unable to detect an increase in CItd >= 15% induced by volume expansion and norepinephrine introduction/increase (area under ROC curves, 0.564 (0.398 to 0.720) and 0.541 (0.377 to 0.700, respectively, both not significantly different from versus 0.500).
Conclusions: The CIpc was reliable and accurate for assessing the CI changes induced by volume expansion and norepinephrine. By contrast, the CIpw poorly tracked the trends in CI induced by those therapeutic interventions.
