Superior vena caval collapsibility as a gauge of volume status in ventilated septic patients

Intensive Care Medicine
Antoine Vieillard-BaronFrançois Jardin

Abstract

In mechanically ventilated patients inspiratory increase in pleural pressure during lung inflation may produce complete or partial collapse of the superior vena cava. Occurrence of this collapse suggests that at this time external pressure exerted by the thoracic cavity on the superior vena cava is greater than the venous pressure required to maintain the vessel fully open. We tested the hypothesis that measurement of superior vena caval collapsibility would reveal the need for volume expansion in a given septic patient. Prospective data collection for 66 successive patients in septic shock admitted in a medical intensive care unit and mechanically ventilated for an associated acute lung injury. We simultaneously measured superior vena caval collapsibility by echocardiography and cardiac index by the Doppler technique at baseline and after a 10 ml/kg volume expansion by 6% hydroxyethyl starch in 30 min. The threshold superior vena caval collapsibility of 36%, calculated as (maximum diameter on expiration-minimum diameter on inspiration)/maximum diameter on expiration, allowed discrimination between responders (defined by an increase in cardiac index of at least 11% induced by volume expansion) and nonresponders, with a sensitiv...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
