Evaluation of pulse wave transit time analysis for non-invasive cardiac output quantification in pregnant patients.

ABSTRACT: Pregnant patients undergoing minimally-invasive foetoscopic surgery for foetal spina bifida have a need to be subjected to advanced haemodynamic monitoring. This observational study compares cardiac output as measured by transpulmonary thermodilution monitoring with the results of non-invasive estimated continuous cardiac output monitoring. Transpulmonary thermodilution-based pulse contour analysis was performed for usual anaesthetic care, while non-invasive estimated continuous cardiac output monitoring data were additionally recorded. Thirty-five patients were enrolled, resulting in 199 measurement time points. Cardiac output measurements of the non-invasive estimated continuous cardiac output monitoring showed a weak correlation with the corresponding thermodilution measurements (correlation coefficient: 0.44, R2: 0.19; non-invasive estimated continuous cardiac output: 7.4 [6.2-8.1]; thermodilution cardiac output: 8.9 [7.8-9.8]; p???0.001), while cardiac index experienced no such correlation. Furthermore, neither stroke volume nor stroke volume index correlated with the corresponding thermodilution-based data. Even though non-invasive estimated continuous cardiac output monitoring consistently underestimated the corresponding thermodilution parameters, no trend analysis was achievable. Summarizing, we cannot suggest the use of non-invasive estimated continuous cardiac output monitoring as an alternative to transpulmonary thermodilution for cardiac output monitoring in pregnant patients undergoing minimally-invasive foetoscopic surgery for spina bifida.

Project description:Cardiac output measurement with pulse contour analysis is a continuous, mini-invasive, operator-independent, widely used, and cost-effective technique, which could be helpful to assess changes in cardiac output. The 4-quadrant plot and the polar plot have been described to compare the changes between 2 measurements performed under different conditions, and the direction of change by using different methods of measurements. However, the 4-quadrant plot and the polar plot present a number of limitations, with a risk of misinterpretation in routine clinical practice. We describe a new trend interchangeability method designed to objectively define the interchangeability of each change of a variable. Using the repeatability of the reference method, we classified each change as either uninterpretable or interpretable and then as either noninterchangeable, in the gray zone or interchangeable. An interchangeability rate can then be calculated by the number of interchangeable changes divided by the total number of interpretable changes. In this observational study, we used this objective method to assess cardiac output changes with 5 arterial pulse contour techniques (Wesseling's method, LiDCO, PiCCO, Hemac method, and Modelflow) in comparison with bolus thermodilution technique as reference method in 24 cardiac surgery patients. A total of 172 cardiac output variations were available from the 199 data points: 88 (51%) were uninterpretable, according to the first step of the method. The second step of the method, based on the 84 (49%) interpretable variations, showed that only 18 (21%) to 30 (36%) variations were interchangeable regardless of the technique used. None of pulse contour cardiac output technique could be interchangeable with bolus thermodilution to assess changes in cardiac output using the trend interchangeability method in cardiac surgery patients. Future studies may consider using this method to assess interchangeability of changes between different methods of measurements.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Cerebrovascular reactivity (CR) is a mechanism that maintains stable blood flow supply to the brain. Pressure reactivity index (PRx), the correlation coefficient between slow waves of invasive arterial blood pressure (ABP) and intracranial pressure (ICP) has been validated for CR assessment. However, in clinical ward, not every subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patient has invasive ABP monitoring. Pulse transit time (PTT), the propagation time of a pulse wave travelling from the heart to peripheral arteries, has been suggested as a surrogate measure of ABP. In this study, we proposed to use PTT instead of invasive ABP to monitor CR. APPROACH:Forty-five SAH patients with simultaneous recordings of invasive ABP, ICP, oxygen saturation level (SpO2) and electrocardiograph (ECG) were included. PTT was calculated as the time from the ECG R-wave peak to the onset of SpO2. PTT based pressure reactivity index (tPRx) was calculated as the correlation coefficient between slow waves of PTT and ICP. Wavelet tPRx (wtRx) was calculated as the cosine of wavelet phase shift between PTT and ICP. Meanwhile, PRx and wPRx were also calculated using invasive ABP and ICP as input. MAIN RESULTS:The result showed a negative relationship between PTT and ABP (r??=??-0.58, p???<??0.001). tPRx negatively correlated with PRx (r??=??-0.51, p???=??0.003). Wavelet method correlated well with correlation method demonstrated through positive relationship between wPRx and PRx (r??=??0.82, p???<??0.001) as well as wtPRx and tPRx (r??=??0.84, p???<??0.001). SIGNIFICANCE:PTT demonstrates great potential as a useful tool for CR assessment when invasive ABP is unavailable. Key points • Pulse transit time (PTT), defined as the propagation time of a pulse wave travelling from the heart to the peripheral arteries, has been proposed as a surrogate measure of ABP. The relationship between PTT and ABP in SAH patients remains unknown. • Cerebrovascular reactivity (CR) assessment through PTT has advantages over invasive ABP, as it avoids bleeding and infection risk, and can be used outside of the ICU. • We introduced a new method to assess CR using PTT and ICP through correlation based method and wavelet based method. • We found that beat-to-beat PTT was negatively related with invasive ABP in SAH patients. A significant linear relationship exists between PTT-based CR parameter and a well validated method, PRx. PTT demonstrates great potential as a useful tool for CR assessment when invasive ABP is unavailable in SAH patients.
