Sinus rhythm (SR) and controlled mechanical ventilation (CV) are mandatory for the applicability of respiratory changes of the arterial curve such as stroke volume variation (SVV) to predict fluid-responsiveness. Furthermore, several secondary limitations including tidal volumes <8 mL/kg and SVV-values within the "gray zone" of 9-13% impair predict...
Global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) has been indexed to body surface area (BSA). However, data validating this indexation of GEDV are scarce. Furthermore, it has been suggested to index GEDV to “predicted BSA” based on predicted body weight. Therefore, we aimed to identify biometric parameters independently associated with GEDV. We analyzed a databa...
Cardiac output (CO) (liters per minute) is usually normalized (ie, indexed) to the patient's body surface area (BSA) resulting in the hemodynamic variable cardiac index (CI) (liters per minute per square meter). We aimed (1) to evaluate the impact of different body weight-based CO indexations on the resulting CI values and (2) to identify biometric...
Purpose
With regard to large inter-individual variability of height, body weight (BW), and age, several hemodynamic parameters are adjusted for biometric data. This also applies to extravascular lung water (EVLW), which traditionally was indexed to actual BW (BW-act) resulting in EVLW-index (EVLWI; i.e., EVLWI-act). Since indexation to BW-act migh...
