Background Assessing intravascular hypovolemia due to hemorrhage remains a clinical challenge. Central venous pressure (CVP) remains a commonly used monitor in surgical and intensive care settings for evaluating blood loss, despite well-described pitfalls of static pressure measurements. The authors investigated an alternative to CVP, intravenous waveform analysis (IVA) as a method for detecting blood loss and examined its correlation with echocardiography. Methods Seven anesthetized, spontaneously breathing male Sprague Dawley rats with right internal jugular central venous and femoral arterial catheters underwent hemorrhage. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, CVP, and IVA were assessed and recorded. Hemorrhage was performed until each rat had 25% estimated blood volume removed. IVA was obtained using fast Fourier transform and the amplitude of the fundamental frequency (f1) was measured. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed utilizing a parasternal short axis image of the left ventricle during hemorrhage. MAP, CVP, and IVA were compared with blood removed and correlated with left ventricular end diastolic area (LVEDA). Results All 7 rats underwent successful hemorrhage. MAP and f1 peak amplitude obtained by IVA showed significant changes with hemorrhage. MAP and f1 peak amplitude also significantly correlated with LVEDA during hemorrhage (R = 0.82 and 0.77, respectively). CVP did not significantly change with hemorrhage, and there was no significant correlation between CVP and LVEDA. Conclusions In this study, f1 peak amplitude obtained by IVA was superior to CVP for detecting acute, massive hemorrhage. In addition, f1 peak amplitude correlated well with LVEDA on echocardiography. Translated clinically, IVA might provide a viable alternative to CVP for detecting hemorrhage.

Introduction: Current volume status markers under-perform. Dynamic markers demonstrate improved outcomes in goal directed fluid therapy but maintain validity in a narrow range of clinical parameters. In addition, they assess volume responsiveness over total volume status. Repeated echo assessments may be infeasible. Hypothesis: Intravenous waveform analysis-derived F1 more closely models volume status than current markers in a rat resuscitation model. Methods: Seven Sprague Dawley rats were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. Pressure transductions occurred via cannulation of the right femoral vein, left femoral artery and right internal jugular vein. Hemorrhage and resuscitation occurred via the left femoral vein. Heparinized rats were bled to 80% of the estimated blood volume (EBV) then resuscitated with their own whole blood in increments of 2% of the EBV until euvolemia was reached. Cardiac output (CO) and left ventricular end diastolic area (LVEDA) were calculated with echocardiography. Fast Fourier transform was performed on venous waveforms to obtain the heart rate linked F1 amplitude. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were compared using Fisher’s Z transformation. Mixed effects modeling goodness-of-fit was assessed with Akaike information criterion (AIC). Significance was set at p=.05. Results: F1 had the strongest correlation with volume status, r= .70, followed by CO, r=.55, LVEDA, r=.55, mean arterial pressure (MAP), r=.50, central venous pressure r= -.02, and pulse pressure variation (PPV), r=.01. When compared, F1 rho was significantly greater than that of all variables except CO and LVEDA, p=.09 and p=.07, respectively. In mixed effects regression, F1 displayed the most significant AIC, -274, followed by CO at -239. Conclusions: The novel marker F1 is strongly correlated with volume status during whole blood resuscitation. F1 may be superior to current markers for directing volume resuscitation therapy.

Background: Ultrasound guided fluid assessment in management of septic shock has come up as an adjunct to the current gold standard Central Venous Pressure monitoring. This study was designed to observe the respiro-phasic variation of IVC diameter (RV-IVCD) in invasively mechanically ventilated and spontaneously breathing paediatric patients of fluid refractory septic shock.Methods: This was a prospective observational study done at Paediatric intensive Care Unit (PICU) in Paediatric ward of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital (JNMCH) from February 2016 to June 2017. 107 consecutive patients between 1 year to 16 years age who were in shock despite 40ml/kg of fluid administration were included. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) diameters were measured at end-expiration and end inspiration and the IVC collapsibility index was calculated. Simultaneously Central Venous Pressure (CVP) was recorded. Both values were obtained in ventilated and non-ventilated patients. Data was analysed to determine to look for the profile of RV-IVCD and CVP in ventilated and non-ventilated cases.Results: Out of 107 patients, 91 were on invasive mechanical ventilation and 16 patients were spontaneously breathing. There was a strong negative correlation between central venous pressure (CVP) and inferior vena cava collapsibility (RV-IVCD) in both spontaneously breathing (-0.810) and mechanically ventilated patients (-0.700). Negative correlation was significant in both study groups in CVP <8 mmHg and only in spontaneously breathing patients in CVP 8-12 mmHg range. IVC collapsibility showed a decreasing trend with rising CVP in both spontaneously breathing and mechanically ventilated patients.Conclusion: Ultrasonography guided IVCCI appears to be a valuable index in assessing fluid status in both spontaneously breathing and mechanically ventilated septic shock patients. However, more data is required from the paediatric population so as to define it as standard of practice.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Our goal was to compare the haemodynamic effects of different mechanical left ventricular (LV) unloading strategies and clinical outcomes in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). METHODS A total of 448 patients supported with VA-ECMO for refractory cardiogenic shock between 1 March 2015 and 31 January 2020 were included and analysed in a single-centre, retrospective case–control study. Fifty-three patients (11.8%) on VA-ECMO required LV unloading. Percutaneous balloon atrial septostomy (PBAS), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and transapical LV vent (TALVV) strategies were compared with regards to the composite rate of death, procedure-related complications and neurological complications. The secondary outcomes were reduced pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, central venous pressure, left atrial diameter and resolution of pulmonary oedema on a chest X-ray within 48 h. RESULTS No death related to the LV unloading procedure was detected. Reduction in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was highest with the TALVV technique (17.2 ± 2.1 mmHg; P &lt; 0.001) and was higher in the PBAS than in the IABP group; the difference was significant (9.6 ± 2.5 and 3.9 ± 1.3, respectively; P = 0.001). Reduction in central venous pressure with TALVV was highest with the other procedures (7.4 ± 1.1 mmHg; P &lt; 0.001). However, procedure-related complications were significantly higher with TALVV compared to the PBAS and IABP groups (50% vs 17.6% and 10%, respectively; P = 0.015). We observed no significant differences in mortality or neurological complications between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that TALVV was the most effective method for LV unloading compared with PBAS and IABP for VA-ECMO support but was associated with complications. Efficient LV unloading may not improve survival.

In 11 healthy subjects (8 males and 3 females, age 21–59 yr) left ventricular end-diastolic (LVEDV) and end-systolic (LVESV) volumes were measured in the supine position by isotope cardiography at rest and during two submaximal one-legged exercise loads before and 1 h after acute plasma expansion (PE) by use of a 6% dextran solution (500–750 ml). After PE, blood volume increased from 5.22 +/- 0.92 to 5.71 +/- 1.02 (SD) liters (P < 0.01). At rest, cardiac output increased 30% (5.3 +/- 1.0 to 6.9 +/- 1.6 l/min; P < 0.01), stroke volume increased from 90 +/- 20 to 100 +/- 28 ml (P < 0.05), and LVEDV increased from 134 +/- 29 to 142 +/- 40 ml (NS). LVESV was unchanged (44 +/- 11 and 42 +/- 14 ml). Heart rate rose from 60 +/- 7 to 71 +/- 10 beats/min (P < 0.01). The cardiac preload [central venous pressure (CVP)] was insignificantly elevated (4.9 +/- 2.1 and 5.3 +/- 3.0 mmHg); systemic vascular resistance and arterial pressures were significantly reduced (mean pressure fell from 91 +/- 11 to 85 +/- 11 mmHg, P < 0.01). Left ventricular peak filling and peak ejection rates both increased (19 and 14%, respectively; P < 0.05). During exercise, cardiac output remained elevated after PE compared with the control situation, predominantly due to a 10- to 14-ml rise in stroke volume caused by an increased LVEDV, whereas LVESV was unchanged. CVP increased after PE by 2.1 and 3.0 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.05).2+ remained unchanged during exercise compared with rest after PE in
