Introduction: Pulse pressure variation (PPV) has been shown to be useful to predict fluid responsiveness in patients ventilated at tidal volume (Vt) >8 mL kg−1. Nevertheless, most conditions in critical care force to use lower Vt. Thus, we sought to evaluate the operative performance of PPV when a Vt ⩽8 mL kg−1 is used during mechanical ventilation support. Methods: We searched PubMed and Embase databases for articles evaluating the operative performance of PPV as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in critical care and perioperative adult patients ventilated with tidal volume ⩽8 mL kg−1 without respiratory effort and arrhythmias, between January 1990 and January 2019. We included cohort and cross-sectional studies. Two authors performed an Independently selection using predefined terms of search. The fitted data of sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) were assessed by bivariate and hierarchical analyses. Results: We retrieved 19 trials with a total of 777 patients and a total of 935 fluid challenges. The fitted sensitivity of PPV to predict fluid responsiveness during mechanical ventilation at Vt ⩽8 mL kg−1 was 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.57-0.73), the specificity was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.73-0.84), and the AUC was 0.75. The diagnostic odds ratio was 5.5 (95% CI: 3.08-10.01, P < .001) by the random-effects model. Conclusions: Pulse pressure variation shows a fair operative performance as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in critical care and perioperative patients ventilated with a tidal volume ⩽8 mL kg−1 without respiratory effort and arrhythmias.

Background: Lung protective ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) is beneficial in patients with intermediate to high risk of post-operative pulmonary complications. However, during low VT ventilation, pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) do not predict fluid responsiveness. Objective: To determine whether changes in PPV and SVV after transient increases in VT could predict fluid responsiveness. Materials and Methods: The authors recorded 20 measurements from 15 patients experiencing post-operative acute circulatory failure. The authors performed a VT challenge by transient increasing VT from 6 to 8 mL/kg (VT₆-₈), 8 to 10 mL/kg (VT₈-₁₀), and 6 to 10 mL/kg (VT₆-₁₀) of patients’ predicted body weight. The change in PPV (∆PPV) at VT₆-₈ (∆PPV₆-₈), VT₈-₁₀ (∆PPV₈-₁₀), VT₆-₁₀ (∆PPV₆-₁₀), and the change in SVV (∆SVV) at VT₆-₈ (∆SVV₆-₈), VT₈-₁₀ (∆SVV₈-₁₀), and VT₆-₁₀ (∆SVV₆-₁₀) were recorded. Patients were classified as fluid responders if there was an increase in stroke volume of more than 10% after a fluid bolus. Results: Following the VT challenge, ∆PPV and ∆SVV failed to predict fluid responsiveness, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (with 95% confidence intervals) of 0.49 (0.23 to 0.74), 0.54 (0.29 to 0.79), 0.52 (0.28 to 0.77) for ∆PPV₆-₈, ∆PPV₈-₁₀, and ∆PPV₆-₁₀, and 0.55 (0.30 to 0.80), 0.55 (0.31 to 0.80), and 0.59 (0.34 to 0.84) for ∆SVV₆-₈, ∆SVV₈-₁₀, and ∆SVV₆-₁₀, respectively. Conclusion: Changes in PPV and SVV after the VT challenge did not predict fluid responsiveness in post-operative patients with low VT ventilation.

Abstract Background It is known that in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery, strict control of hemodynamic variables and blood volume is necessary, since there is an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption. Thus, the present study seeks to validate methods previously used in different clinical situations to predict fluid responsiveness, in the current scenario of the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery. Purpose To evaluate the influence of “tidal volume challenge” from 6 ml / kg to 8 ml / kg of the predicted body weight (PBW) in conjunction with the end expiratory occlusion test (EEOT) in the variation of pulse pressure to predict fluid responsiveness in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery. Methodology This prospective study included 30 patients after cardiac surgery. Hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters were initially recorded in mechanical ventilation at 6 ml/kg and after tidial volume challenge and with the EEOT at 8 ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW). After recorded the intervention data, there was a return to ventilation at 6 ml/kg and a saline infusion of 500 ml was performed for 15 minutes. Fluid responsiveness was defined for patients who had an increase of 10% or more in velocity time integral (VTI) by echocardiogram after volume expansion compared to baseline value. Multivariate analysis was used to identify independent predictors of fluid response status. Sensitivity and specificity analyzes were performed to determine the predictive precision of each parameter. Results The main result of our study is that, when the tidal volume is increased from 6 to 8 ml/kg of PBW, the relative increase in pulse pressure variation (%ΔPPV6–8) predicts with excellent accuracy responsiveness to fluids with cut-off values of 18.3%, with sensitivity of 92.9% and specificity of 84% (P=0.019). Although changing PPV6, EEOT6 and EEOT8 are not reliable in predicting fluid responsiveness, they still require additional calculations. PPV8 also discriminates between responders and non-responders; however, with sensitivity (78.6%) and specificity (66.6%) when the value found in the PPV8 is up 8.5, but without statistical significance (figure). Conclusion The challenge of tidal volume and its influence on the ΔPP variation has excellent accuracy to predict fluid responsiveness in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery. EEOT did not present good accuracy to predict fluid responsiveness in patients in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.
