Introduction Stroke volume variation (SVV) has repeatedly been shown to be a reliable predictor of fluid responsiveness. Various devices allow automated clinical assessment of SVV. The aim of the present study was to compare prediction of fluid responsiveness using SVV, as determined by the FloTrac™/ Vigileo™ system and the PiCCOplus™ system.

The performance of the FloTrac/Vigileo system, the PiCCOplus, and the Vigilance CCO monitoring for CO measurement were comparable when tested against intermittent thermodilution in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

Nous pouvons aujourd'hui faire du monde un enfer -et nous en prenons le chemin. Nous pouvons aussi le transformer dans la direction opposée.
