DeltaPOP can predict fluid responsiveness noninvasively in mechanically ventilated patients during general anesthesia. This index has potential clinical applications.
This study is the first to demonstrate the ability of PVI, an index automatically derived from the pulse oximeter waveform analysis, to automatically and continuously monitor deltaPOP. This new index has potential clinical applications for noninvasive fluid responsiveness monitoring.
A 50-year-old man with an end-stage cardiac failure was referred to our institution for pre-transplantation assessment. An infrarenal aortic aneurysm (diameter 45 mm) was discovered and progressed (up to 59 mm) over a two-month period. Decision to perform aneurysmectomy with the support of an Impella Recover LP50 microaxial blood pump was decided regarding the rapid evolution of the disease. The patient had uneventful cardiac-wise during surgery and postoperative period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
