Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Adequate tissue perfusion is of utmost importance to avoid organ failure in patients with cardiogenic shock. Within the recent years, the microcirculation, defined as the perfusion of the smallest vessels, has been identified to play a crucial role. Microcirculatory changes may include capillary flow disturbances as well as changes in the density of perfused vessels. Due to the availability of new technologies to assess the microcirculation, interesting new data came up and it is the purpose of this review to summarize recent studies in the field. RECENT FINDINGS Nowadays, an increasing number of studies confirm parameters of the microcirculation, derived by intravital microscopy, to represent strong outcome predictors in cardiogenic shock. In addition, microcirculation as read-out parameter in innovative clinical studies has meanwhile been accepted as serious endpoint. Treatment strategies such as mechanical assist devices, blood pressure regulating agents or fluids use tissue perfusion and microcirculatory network density as targets in addition to clinical perfusion evaluation and decreasing serum lactate levels. SUMMARY The parameter most frequently used to detect tissue malperfusion is serum lactate. Novel, noninvasive methods to quantify microvascular perfusion have the potential to guide treatment in terms of optimizing organ perfusion and oxygenation probably paving the way for an individualized therapy.

Adler C, Heller T, Schregel F, Hagmann H, Hellmich M, Adler J, Reuter H. TIMP-2/IGFBP7 predicts acute kidney injury in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2018; 22:126. [PMID: 29751827 PMCID: PMC5948851 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-018-2042-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2017] [Accepted: 04/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and predicts in-hospital mortality. To which extent post-resuscitation disease or the initial event of cardiac arrest and the duration of insufficient cardiac output triggers AKI is challenging to discriminate. Knowledge on molecular mediators of AKI is scarce. Early identification of patients at high risk of AKI is hampered by the low sensitivity of the established tests in clinical routine practice. The present study aimed to determine the diagnostic utility of the novel urine biomarkers tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) for the early recognition of AKI in patients with non-traumatic shock. Methods The performance of [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] was prospectively analysed in 48 patients with shock following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). All patients were treated with target temperature management (TTM) for 24 h. Urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] samples were collected at 3 and 24 h after determination of OHCA. Results Patients (n = 31 (65%)) developed AKI after an average of 26 ± 12 h. Patients who developed AKI had significantly higher [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] compared to individuals that did not develop AKI (1.52 ± 0.13 vs. 0.13 ± 0.14; p < 0.05) as early as 3 h after determination of OHCA,. For urine [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7], the area under the curve (AUC) for the development of AKI was 0.97 (CI 0.90–1.00) at 3 h after OHCA. The optimal [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] cut-off value for the prediction of AKI was 0.24. The sensitivity was 96.8% and specificity was 94.1%. Conclusions Urinary [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] reliably predicts AKI in high-risk patients only 3 h after determination of OHCA with a cut-off at 0.24. This novel test may help to identify patients at high risk of AKI to enrol into clinical studies to further elucidate the pathophysiology of AKI and devise targeted interventions in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The subclavian vein (SCV) is usually used to inject the indicator of cold saline for a transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) measurement. The SCV catheter being misplaced into the internal jugular (IJV) vein is a common occurrence. The present study explores the influence of a misplaced SCV catheter on TPTD variables. METHODS Thirteen severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients with malposition of the SCV catheter were enrolled in this study. TPTD variables including cardiac index (CI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI), intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI), and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) were obtained after injection of cold saline via the misplaced SCV catheter. Then, the misplaced SCV catheter was removed and IJV access was constructed for a further set of TPTD variables. Comparisons were made between the TPTD results measured through the IJV and misplaced SCV accesses. RESULTS A total of 104 measurements were made from TPTD curves after injection of cold saline via the IJV and misplaced SCV accesses. Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated an overestimation of +111.40 ml/m(2) (limits of agreement: 6.13 and 216.70 ml/m(2)) for GEDVI and ITBVI after a misplaced SCV injection. There were no significant influences on CI and EVLWI. The biases of +0.17 L/(min·m(2)) for CI and +0.17 ml/kg for EVLWI were revealed by Bland-Altman analysis. CONCLUSIONS The malposition of an SCV catheter does influence the accuracy of TPTD variables, especially GEDVI and ITBVI. The position of the SCV catheter should be confirmed by chest X-ray in order to make good use of the TPTD measurements.

Pulse contour cardiac output monitoring in acute heart failure patients : Assessment of hemodynamic measurements. Wien Klin Wochenschr 2016; 128:864-869. [PMID: 27525745 PMCID: PMC5161758 DOI: 10.1007/s00508-016-1048-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2016] [Accepted: 07/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Background Heart failure is known to be a major public health problem. Fluid redistribution contributes to acute heart failure; therefore, knowledge of hemodynamic parameters could be important for optimizing outcomes. The pulse contour cardiac output monitor PiCCO uses the single thermal indicator technique and pulse contour analysis to calculate hemodynamic parameters of preload, afterload, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance and extravascular lung water. Objectives We primarily aimed to describe values and parameters seen in acute heart failure patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and secondly to investigate associations between hemodynamic measurements and survival data. Material and methods In this study 420 consecutive patients admitted to a tertiary medical university hospital ICU between January 2004 and December 2009 were retrospectively investigated. The study sample was divided into two subgroups: patients monitored by PiCCO (n = 47) and those not monitored by thermodilution measurements (n = 373). No predetermined treatment algorithm based on knowledge obtained by the PiCCO monitor was used and measurements were individually interpreted by the treating physician. The PiCCO monitor measurements were carried out according to manufacturer’s directions. Results Patients with PiCCO monitoring were clinically in poorer health with a mean simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS2) of 45 ± 17 vs. 56 ± 20 (p < 0.01). The ICU mortality (22 % vs. 38 %, p = 0.02) and, at least as a tendency, long-term-mortality were increased in patients monitored by PiCCO (RR 1.49, 95 % CI 0.96–2.31, p = 0.08). We provide hemodynamic measurements in acute heart failure patients: cardiac index (2.7 ± 1.2 l/min/m²) was reduced, preload and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI, 11.5 ± 5.1 ml/kg body weight), representing lung edema, were increased. Conclusion We provide real world values for PiCCO parameters in acutely decompensated heart failure. In our study patients who were clinically in poorer health were monitored with PiCCO, resulting in increased mortality in this group. Further prospective studies to investigate the effects of treatment decisions triggered by information obtained by PiCCO monitoring for patients in acute heart failure are needed.

Abstract
Adequate monitoring of patients on intensive care units is of highest priority to provide optimal treatment and to detect patients at risk. Within recent years the microcirculation became more and more attention due to its central importance for the outcome of patients. Microcirculatory disorders may include capillary flow disturbances as well as changes in the density of perfused vessels. In the clinical setting, the most often used parameter to detect alterations in the microcirculation is serum lactate. Since this parameter is characterized by major limitations, other strategies including non-invasive methods to quantify microvascular perfusion have been developed. A successful surveillance of the microcirculation in the individual patient may guide diagnostic and treatment strategies in order to optimize organ perfusion and oxygenation, subsequently leading to an individualized therapy. Intravital microscopy has been used to stratify patients at risk and to predict patients' outcome. The aim of this review is to evaluate clinical correlates of microcirculatory disorders as well as giving an overview of newer diagnostic devices that may directly or indirectly evaluate the microcirculation and are available for use in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Management of volume status is difficult in critically ill patients with renal failure. Volumetric hemodynamic indices are increasingly being used to guide fluid therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), but are not established to monitor hemodialysis-induced fluid removal in critically ill patients. Using volumetric hemodynamic monitoring, changes in extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) were measured immediately before and after hemodialysis sessions in 35 ICU patients. Additional hemodynamic and oxygenation related parameters were recorded at the same time, and online relative blood volume (RBV) monitoring was performed during hemodialysis. EVLWI decreased significantly with fluid removal (median 10.0 vs. 9.6 mL/kg, P = 0.001), whereas ITBVI remained stable (median 1012 vs. 1029 mL/m(2) , P = 0.402). Significant changes were also observed in stroke volume variation (median 12.0 vs. 13.0 %, P = 0.012), cardiac index (median 4.2 vs. 3.5 mL/min/m(2) , P = 0.003), mean arterial pressure (median 77 vs. 85.5 mmHg, P = 0.006), norepinephrine dose (median 0.092 vs. 0.114 μg/kg per min, P = 0.043), and hemoglobin values (median 9.5 vs. 10.4 gm/dL, P = 0.036). RBV decreased by 7.8% (median); there was no correlation with either the volumetric measurements or the other hemodynamic parameters recorded. EVLWI reduction with dialysis reflects the removal of excess body fluid, whereas preservation of cardiac preload is indicated by ITBVI stability. Volumetric hemodynamic measurements provide additional information concerning fluid status and are thus potentially useful to guide fluid removal on hemodialysis in critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The results of previous studies suggest that early goal-directed fluid therapy (EGDT) reduces delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the effects of EGDT on clinical outcomes are still unclear. This study aimed to determine whether EGDT improves outcomes compared with standard less-invasive hemodynamic therapy. METHODS This study included 160 patients treated within 24 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage, randomized to receive either (1) EGDT guided by preload volume and cardiac output monitored by transpulmonary thermodilution (treatment group) or (2) standard therapy guided by fluid balance or central venous pressure, assisted by uncalibrated less-invasive cardiac output monitoring during hyperdynamic therapy in patients with clinical or radiological indications of DCI (control group). DCI determined by clinical or radiological findings and functional outcome determined by the modified Rankin Scale score at 3 months were compared between groups. RESULTS For all clinical grades combined, there were no significant differences in the rates of DCI (33% versus 42%; P=0.33) or modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 3 at 3 months (67% versus 57%; P=0.22) between the 2 groups. For patients with poor clinical grade, those who received EGDT had a significantly lower rate of DCI (5% versus 14%; P=0.036), modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 3 at 3 months (52% versus 36%; P=0.026), and shorter length of intensive care unit stay (14 versus 17 days; P=0.043) than those who received standard therapy. CONCLUSIONS EGDT is beneficial for reducing DCI and improving postoperative functional outcome in patients with poor clinical grade. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
Purpose. To define specific features of central hemodynamic parameter changes in patients with isolated severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) and in patients with clinically established brain death and to determine the required course of treatment for their correction. Data and Research Methods. A close study of central hemodynamic parameters was undertaken. The study involved 13 patients with isolated STBI (group STBI) and 15 patients with isolated STBI and clinically established brain death (group STBI-BD). The parameters of central hemodynamics were researched applying transpulmonary thermodilution. Results. In the present study, various types of hemodynamic reaction (normodynamic, hyperdynamic, and hypodynamic) were identified in patients with isolated STBI in an acute period of traumatic disease. Hyperdynamic type of blood circulation was not observed in patients with isolated STBI and clinically established brain death. Detected hemodynamic disorders led to the correction of the ongoing therapy under the control of central hemodynamic parameters. Conclusions. Monitoring of parameters of central hemodynamics allows to detect the cause of disorders, to timely carry out the required correction, and to coordinate infusion, inotropic, and vasopressor therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains high despite advances in resuscitation and early revascularization strategies. Recent studies suggest a reduced mortality in survivors of cardiac arrest subjected to mild therapeutic hypothermia, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Because positive hemodynamic effects of mild therapeutic hypothermia have been suggested, we aimed at testing the hypothesis that patients in cardiogenic shock might benefit from mild therapeutic hypothermia. METHODS Hemodynamic effects of mild therapeutic hypothermia in 20 consecutive patients admitted in cardiogenic shock after successful resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were investigated. A historic normothermic control group was matched (one-to-one) by means of a propensity score. Patients were cooled to 33°C for 24 hrs using an endovascular cooling device and hemodynamic variables were continuously recorded by means of pulse contour analysis. Cardiac performance was determined by echocardiography. RESULTS Mild therapeutic hypothermia induced a significant decrease in heart rate from 74 to 64 beats per minute. Despite the reduction in heart rate, cardiac index remained unchanged under mild therapeutic hypothermia likely due to an increase in ejection fraction from 43 ± 4% to 55 ± 4%. Mean arterial pressure increased rapidly from 75 ± 2 mm Hg to 84 ± 3 mm Hg (p = .001) upon induction of hypothermia paralleled by an initial increase in systemic vascular resistance. Accordingly, patients with mild therapeutic hypothermia required lower cumulative doses of vasopressors and inotropes. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that in cardiogenic shock mild therapeutic hypothermia provides circulatory support and an increase in systemic vascular resistance that leads to reduced vasopressor use and may result in lower oxygen consumption. These findings suggest that mild therapeutic hypothermia could be a therapeutic option in hemodynamically unstable patients independent of cardiac arrest and further randomized clinical studies are needed.

Abstract
Advanced haemodynamic monitoring remains a cornerstone in the management of the critically ill. While rates of pulmonary artery catheter use have been declining, there has been an increase in the number of alternatives for monitoring cardiac output as well as greater understanding of the methods and criteria with which to compare devices. The PiCCO (Pulse index Continuous Cardiac Output) device is one such alternative, integrating a wide array of both static and dynamic haemodynamic data through a combination of trans-cardiopulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis. The requirement for intra-arterial and central venous catheterisation limits the use of PiCCO to those with evolving critical illness or at high risk of complex and severe haemodynamic derangement. While the accuracy of trans-cardiopulmonary thermodilution as a measure of cardiac output is well established, several other PiCCO measurements require further validation within the context of their intended clinical use. As with all advanced haemodynamic monitoring systems, efficacy in improving patient-centred outcomes has yet to be conclusively demonstrated. The challenge with PiCCO is in improving the understanding of the many variables that can be measured and integrating those that are clinically relevant and adequately validated with appropriate therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
For myocardial revascularization on a beating heart through a thoracotomy, a properly deployed endobronchial blocker (EBB) provides ideal conditions for surgical access. In addition, adequate volume replacement to achieve optimal cardiac performance is a primary goal of haemodynamic management in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. To achieve both these ends, this case report describes the combined use of a left-sided EBB along with a volumetric pulmonary artery catheter in a patient who underwent a successful off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery through an anterolateral thoracotomy.

Abstract
Lung transplantation has become an accepted option for many patients with end-stage pulmonary diseases. Anesthesia and surgery following lung transplantation may be required for various diseases that may affect both systemic organs and the transplanted graft. When a patient with a lung transplant undergoes surgery, there is the potential for interference with lung function, depending on the type of intervention and its anatomical site. Accurate preoperative evaluation, an understanding of the physiology of the transplanted lung, proper airway instrumentation, individualized management of intraoperative ventilation, and fluid balance are essential for a positive perioperative outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To examine the kinetics of volume loading with crystalloid and colloid infusions in critically ill patients after major surgery, using the pulse contour cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring technique. METHODS This prospective, randomized, multicentre study of 11 ICUs involved 200 mixed postoperative hypovolaemic patients (50 patients per group) in Hungary. Patients received 10 ml kg of lactated Ringer's solution, succinylated gelatin 4% w/v, 130/0.4 hydroxyethyl starch 6% w/v (HES) or human albumin 5% w/v over 30 min. A complete haemodynamic profile was obtained at 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min after baseline. The peak haemodynamic effects, the 120 min changes compared with baseline, the area under the curve (AUC) for the haemodynamic parameters over 120 min and the haemodilution effect of the solutions were analysed. The primary outcome was to compare the AUCs and the secondary outcome was to evaluate the haemodynamic changes at 120 min. RESULTS There were significant differences in the AUCs of the haemodynamic parameters between colloids and lactated Ringer's solution in the cardiac index and global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI); human albumin vs. lactated Ringer's solution in stroke volume variation (SVV); and succinylated gelatin, HES vs. lactated Ringer's solution in the oxygen delivery index (DO2I). Colloid infusions (mainly HES and human albumin) at 120 min caused significant changes in central venous pressure, cardiac index, GEDVI, SVV, DO2I and central venous oxygen saturation compared with baseline. The haemodilution effect was significantly greater in colloids vs. lactated Ringer's solution. CONCLUSION In postoperative hypovolaemic patients, lactated Ringer's solution can significantly improve haemodynamics at the end of volume loading, but this effect completely disappears at 120 min. Ten millilitres per kilogram of colloid bolus (especially HES) improved the haemodynamics at 120 min; however, this was by only 5-25% compared with baseline. The colloids caused significantly larger AUCs than lactated Ringer's solution, but only in the cardiac index, GEDVI and DO2I, plus human albumin in the SVV.

Global end-diastolic volume, serum osmolarity, and albumin are risk factors for increased extravascular lung water. J Crit Care 2010; 26:224.e9-13. [PMID: 20869838 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2010.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2010] [Revised: 07/13/2010] [Accepted: 07/20/2010] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The transpulmonary thermodilution technique allows the determination of cardiac preload (global end-diastolic volume index) and quantification of pulmonary edema (extravascular lung water index [EVLWI]). Pulmonary edema commonly develops in critically ill patients; however, the underlying pathophysiology, that is, hydrostatic (cardiac) or permeability-induced (noncardiac), often remains unclear. In this study, hemodynamic and serum parameters of osmolarity and oncotic pressure were analyzed to identify risk factors for increased EVLWI. METHODS A retrospective, single-center analysis in an intensive care unit of a university hospital was performed. No interventions were made for the study. Forty-two critically ill patients were included, and 126 simultaneous hemodynamic measurements and serum determinations were analyzed by logistic regression and Spearman rank correlation coefficient analysis. RESULTS Global end-diastolic volume index (P = .001), serum albumin (P = .006), and serum osmolarity (P = .029) were significant factors for increased EVLWI (defined as >10 mL/kg). CONCLUSION Hypervolemia, hypoalbuminemia, and high plasma osmolarity are associated with increased EVLWI.

Abstract
This article focuses on static methods for determining preload, specifically pressure and volumetric indices measured at the bedside. The underlying ventricular function will determine where the patient is located on Frank-Starling ventricular function curve and the patient's response to a fluid challenge. The proper interpretation and use of such measures, coupled with an understanding of their limitations and knowledge of alternative methods, is necessary to guide properly volume resuscitation in the critically ill.

Carbon dioxide versus room air for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and comparison with standard laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum. Gastrointest Endosc 2010; 72:161-9, 169.e1-2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies investigating natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) have used room air, whereas carbon dioxide (CO(2)) is traditionally preferred for laparoscopic insufflation. OBJECTIVE Evaluation of CO(2) versus room air for NOTES and comparison with standard laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum. DESIGN Prospective experiments in an acute porcine model. INTERVENTIONS For transgastric peritoneoscopy, either CO(2) or room air were insufflated via the endoscope for a constant intraperitoneal pressure of 12 mm Hg in 16 pigs. Another 8 pigs received laparoscopic insufflation with CO(2). Identification of intra-abdominal organs during NOTES was documented. Additionally, standardized video recordings of peritoneoscopy were evaluated by an independent blinded observer. Complete cardiopulmonary status was assessed every 3 minutes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Quality of transgastric peritoneoscopy and cardiopulmonary response. RESULTS In the NOTES room air group, significantly more target organs (18/64, 28%) were missed than in the NOTES CO(2) group (8/64, 13%; P = .028). However, blinded video analysis showed no difference between the groups. An increase in systemic vascular resistance index during pneumoperitoneum in the NOTES room air group was less pronounced than in the NOTES CO(2) group, almost reaching the level of significance (P = .050). With respect to hemodynamics, there were no significant differences between the NOTES CO(2) group and the laparoscopy CO(2) group. LIMITATIONS Nonsurvival animal experiments. CONCLUSIONS Pressure-controlled endoscopic insufflation of CO(2) for NOTES showed minor advantages compared with insufflation of room air regarding intra-abdominal visualization, but resulted in an increase in cardiac afterload. However, the cardiorespiratory responses during endoscopic insufflation of CO(2) were similar to the widely accepted standard laparoscopic CO(2) insufflation.

Saugel B, Umgelter A, Schuster T, Phillip V, Schmid RM, Huber W. Transpulmonary thermodilution using femoral indicator injection: a prospective trial in patients with a femoral and a jugular central venous catheter. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2010; 14:R95. [PMID: 20500825 PMCID: PMC2911732 DOI: 10.1186/cc9030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2010] [Revised: 03/25/2010] [Accepted: 05/25/2010] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Advanced hemodynamic monitoring using transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) is established for measurement of cardiac index (CI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) and extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI). TPTD requires indicator injection via a central venous catheter (usually placed via the jugular or subclavian vein). However, superior vena cava access is often not feasible due to the clinical situation. This study investigates the conformity of TPTD using femoral access. Methods This prospective study involved an 18-month trial at a medical intensive care unit at a university hospital. Twenty-four patients with both a superior and an inferior vena cava catheter at the same time were enrolled in the study. Results TPTD-variables were calculated from TPTD curves after injection of the indicator bolus via jugular access (TPTDjug) and femoral access (TPTDfem). GEDVIfem and GEDVIjug were significantly correlated (rm = 0.88; P < 0.001), but significantly different (1,034 ± 275 vs. 793 ± 180 mL/m2; P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated a bias of +241 mL/m2 (limits of agreement: -9 and +491 mL/m2). GEDVIfem, CIfem and ideal body weight were independently associated with the bias (GEDVIfem-GEDVIjug). A correction formula of GEDVIjug after femoral TPTD, was calculated. EVLWIfem and EVLWIjug were significantly correlated (rm = 0.93; P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis revealed a bias of +0.83 mL/kg (limits of agreement: -2.61 and +4.28 mL/kg). Furthermore, CIfem and CIjug were significantly correlated (rm = 0.95; P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated a bias of +0.29 L/min/m2 (limits of agreement -0.40 and +0.97 L/min/m2; percentage-error 16%). Conclusions TPTD after femoral injection of the thermo-bolus provides precise data on GEDVI with a high correlation, but a self-evident significant bias related to the augmented TPTD-volume. After correction of GEDVIfem using a correction formula, GEDVIfem shows high predictive capabilities for GEDVIjug. Regarding CI and EVLWI, accurate TPTD-data is obtained using femoral access.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To analyse the precision of transpulmonary thermodilution from the PiCCO technique (Pulsion Medical System, Munich, Germany) in everyday intensive care practice in order to ascertain the minimum number of measurements necessary for scientific precision. METHODS An observational study in the medical-surgical ICU of a teaching hospital was performed. Thirty consecutive patients from a mixed intensive care population using the PiCCO haemodynamic monitor were included. Five thermodilution measurements were repeated at 2 min intervals. The variability of the cardiac index and the global end-diastolic volume index was analysed with respect to the five consecutive measurements and the mean of the first two, first three, first four and all five measurements. RESULTS There was similar distribution among the different measurements and means. The variability of the cardiac index and global end-diastolic volume index, represented by the standard error of means, the coefficient of errors and the confidence intervals, revealed a similar precision in separate measurements and in the different averaging techniques. The coefficient of errors was less than 5% even when calculating the mean of the first two measurements, meeting the criterion of scientific precision, and including patients with arrhythmia and varying blood pressure. CONCLUSION Calculating the mean of two good-quality transpulmonary thermodilution measurements is equivalent to the other averaging techniques (three to five measurements) for the cardiac index and global end-diastolic volume index. Any further repeated measurements may be unnecessary and may contribute to volume overloading.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early goal-directed hemodynamic therapy is of particular importance for adequate cerebral circulation of patients with vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage but is often precluded by the invasiveness of established cardiac output determination using a pulmonary artery catheter. This study was undertaken to validate the usefulness of less invasive goal-directed hemodynamic monitoring by transpulmonary thermodilution technique in patients after subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS One hundred sixteen patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage who underwent surgical clipping within 24 hours of ictus were investigated. Validation of transpulmonary thermodilution-derived intermittent/continuous cardiac output and cardiac preload (global end diastolic volume) were compared with pulmonary artery catheter-derived reference cardiac output and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure or central venous pressure in 16 patients diagnosed with vasospasm. In a subsequent trial of 100 consecutive cases, clinical results between the new and standard management paradigms were compared. RESULTS Transpulmonary thermodilution-derived intermittent cardiac output and transpulmonary thermodilution-derived continuous cardiac output showed close agreement to catheter-derived reference cardiac output with high correlation (r=0.85 and 0.77) and low percentage error (13.5% and 18.0%). Fluid responsiveness to defined volume loading was predicted better with global end diastolic volume than with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and central venous pressure for larger receiver operating characteristic curve area. Patients receiving early goal-directed management by transpulmonary thermodilution experienced reduced frequencies of vasospasm and cardiopulmonary complications compared with those managed with standard therapy (P<0.05), whereas their functional outcomes at 3 months were not different (P=0.06). CONCLUSIONS Goal-directed hemodynamic management guided by transpulmonary thermodilution appears to have a therapeutic advantage for optimizing the prognosis of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage with vasospasm over conventional methods.
