  • The Effect of Passive Leg Raising Towards Hemodynamics on Patient with Hypovolemic Shock at the Emergency Ward of Dustira Cimahi Hospital
    International Seminar on Global Health (ISGH) 2017 Stikes Jenderal Achmad Yani Cimahi The Effect of Passive Leg Raising towards Hemodynamics on Patient with Hypovolemic Shock at the Emergency Ward of Dustira Cimahi Hospital Evangeline Hutabarat Nursing Science Dept., Stikes Jenderal Achmad Yani Cimahi Email: [email protected] Abstract One of the conditions needing immediate response in the emergency ward is hypovolemic shock. The patient in shock requires close monitoring for clinical signs and hemodynamic status and intravascular status. It is due to circulatory assistance and medication provision on the patient is given based on the accuracy of the intravascular volume status of the patient. Fluid responsiveness can be considered as basis for considering administering fluid only or inotropic and vasopressor medication for the patient to maintain her circulatory homeostatic. Passive Leg Raising (PLR) may be a reversible method to evaluate fluid responsiveness. The study aims at evaluating the effect of PLR on hemodynamic. It employs the quasi-experimental design with the within subject repeated measurement design approach. 48 respondents took part as samples, with the consecutive sampling method implemented. The samples were then categorized into responsive and non-responsive groups based on the increase of pulse pressure amounting to or beyond 9% during PLR implementation. The data was tested using the dependent and independent t test to provide analysis for uni-variate and bivariate data. The results indicated that 34 respondents belonged to the responsive group while 14 respondents were categorized as non-responsive. There was a significant relationship between PLR and hemodynamic parameters of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure (p>0.05).

  • Passive Leg Raise Testing Effectively Reduces Fluid Administration In
    Rameau et al. Ann. Intensive Care (2017) 7:2 DOI 10.1186/s13613-016-0225-6 RESEARCH Open Access Passive leg raise testing effectively reduces fluid administration in septic shock after correction of non‑compliance to test results Arjanne Rameau, Eldert de With and Evert Christiaan Boerma* Abstract Background: Fluid resuscitation is considered a cornerstone of shock treatment, but recent data have underlined the potential hazards of fluid overload. The passive leg raise (PLR) test has been introduced as one of many strategies to predict ‘fluid responsiveness.’ The use of PLR testing is applicable to a wide range of clinical situations and has the potential to reduce fluid administration, since PLR testing is based upon (reversible) autotransfusion. Despite these theoretical advantages, data on the net effect on fluid balance as a result of PLR testing remain scarce. Methods: We performed a prospective single-center multi-step interventional study in patients with septic shock to evaluate the effect of implementation of PLR testing on the fluid balance (FB) 48 hours after ICU admission. All patients were equipped with a PiCCO® device for pulse contour analysis to guide fluid administration. An increase in stroke volume (SV) 10% was considered a positive test result. ≥ Results: Before introduction of PLR testing, 21 patients were prospectively included in period 1 with a median FB of 4.8 [3.3–7.8]L. After an extensive training program, PLR testing was introduced and 20 patients were included in period 2. Median FB was 4.4 [3.3–7.5]L and did not differ from period 1 (p 0.72).

  • Comparison of the Accuracy of Monitoring Devices in Prediction of Fluid Responsiveness in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
    IRB# 15-21 COMPARISON OF THE ACCURACY OF MONITORING DEVICES IN PREDICTION OF FLUID RESPONSIVENESS IN SEVERE SEPSIS AND SEPTIC SHOCK PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: JEFFREY C. FRIED, MD DATE OF PROTOCOL: 12/29/2016 VERSION 3 BACKGROUND One of the most challenging problems in critical care is determination of whether patients have adequate intravascular volume, and whether they would benefit from additional intravenous fluids. Giving too much fluid to patients with adequate intravascular volume could lead to fluid overload, congestive heart failure and subsequent respiratory failure. Not giving enough fluid to 1 IRB# 15-21 patients, risks leaving them under-resuscitated and worsening their shock state, leading to organ failures, such as kidney failure. Clinically, it is very difficult to determine this “intravascular volume status”, and predict which patients would benefit from more fluid. One of the ways we currently determine this, is to measure cardiac output and one of its main components, stroke volume (how much blood is pumped by the heart each beat) and see whether these increase in response to a passive leg raise (PLR) maneuver1. The maneuver is simple, quick, with essentially no risk. The maneuver involves measuring baseline cardiac output and stroke volume with the patient’s head up at 45 degrees and legs flat for 3 minutes. Subsequently, the head is placed flat and the legs are raised to 45 degrees for 3 minutes. If the cardiac output and stroke volume increase in response to this maneuver, there is a high probability that the patient will have a good response to giving intravenous fluid. Currently there are multiple FDA approved devices which can be used to measure cardiac output and stroke volume, ranging from very invasive (pulmonary artery catheter), to minimally invasive (requiring arterial catheter +/- central venous catheter- Flotrac, PICCO)3,4 to a newer, completely non- invasive device, called the NICOM (Cheetah).

  • Passive Leg Raise (PLR) Test As a Predictor of Tolerence to Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) Presenting Author: Aymen Alian
    Passive Leg Raise (PLR) Test as a Predictor of Tolerence to Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) Presenting Author: Aymen Alian, MD, Yale University, department of Anesthesiology. Co-Authors: Hesham Ezz, MBChB, Yale University, department of Anesthesiology, Jose Chavez, MD, Yale University, department of Anesthesiology, Nadeem Elbetebsi, MBChB, Yale University, department of Anesthesiology, Sophisa Sophonphattana, MD, Yale University, department of Anesthesiology, Kirk Shelley, MD, PhD, Yale University, department of Anesthesiology. Introduction: Fluid responsiveness (FR) is reported to be the ability to increase stroke volume (SV) in response to fluid administration1. Passive leg raising (PLR) creates a transient increase in biventricular preload and has shown the capability to predict fluid responsiveness2. LBNP creates a reversible hypovolemic state by sequestrating blood in the lower extremities3. This study sought to examine the ability of stroke volume percent change during (PLR) to predict the extent of tolerance to hypovolemia during Lower body negative pressure (LBNP). Methods: With IRB approval 12 subjects underwent PLR at 45° angle for 2 min followed by progressive LBNP protocol at -15 mmHg, -30 mmHg, -45 mmHg, -60 mmHg, -75 mmHg and -85 mmHg. Each patient was monitored for heart rate (HR), continuous noninvasive arterial blood pressure (CNAP) (CNSystems, Austria), Noninvasive CO monitor (NICOM) (Cheetah medical, MA, USA) streaming stroke volume (SV), cardiac index (CI) noninvasively at 8s intervals. These parameters were measured at baseline, during LRT and during progressive LBNP, Subjects were classified as high tolerance (HT) and low tolerance (LT) based upon the development of symptoms of hypovolemia such as lightheadedness, nausea, diaphoresis and shortness of breath at LBNP -75 mmHg or earlier.

The algorithm compensates for the effects of compliance on PP based on age, gender, and body surface area (BSA). The FloTrac system enables proactive clinical decision support. The minimally-invasive FloTrac system is a reliable solution for advanced hemodynamic monitoring that automatically calculates key flow parameters every 20 seconds. The FloTrac sensor attaches to an existing arterial line and monitors advanced hemodynamic parameters: • Stroke volume (SV) • Stroke volume variation (SVV) • Mean arterial pressure (MAP) • Cardiac output (CO) • Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) Proactive decision support offered by the FloTrac system helps guide individualized treatment decisions for your moderate- to high-risk surgery patients, and can be utilized perioperatively to proactively manage your patients. The FloTrac system can also be utilized to manage physiological status in rapidly changing clinical situations in acute care settings. With the FloTrac sensor and HemoSphere monitor, you can see your patient’s physiologic status and analyze trends with exceptional clarity allowing you to intuitively navigate with a simple-to-use touchscreen.
