Pressure Gradient for Venous Return in Predicting Fluid Responsiveness in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery

Fluid Responsiveness

the pressure gradient for venous return, fluid responsiveness

Surgical patients, especially those with insufficient blood volume and hypotension, often need fluid therapy. However, there is still a lack of simple and reliable indicators for judging transfusion responsiveness in some types of surgery. Previous studies have shown that Pressure Gradient for Venous Return (PVR) can be used to guide infusion. Thus, our aim is to explore the relationship between PVR and liquid reactivity.

Fluid resuscitation is one of the key issues in the management of surgery and anesthesia. Fluid infusion test is a method to determine patients' reactivity to liquid therapy. The commonly used Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) and Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) are good predictors of fluid responsiveness, but they are not suitable for operations with increased intra-abdominal pressure, such as laparoscopy surgery. Some studies have shown that Pressure Gradient for Venous Return (PVR) may has the same effect as PPV/SVV in predicting fluid responsiveness (FR). In the case that PPV/SVV cannot be used, PVR may be used alternatively. Therefore, our aim is to explore the relationship between the changes of PVR and fluid responsiveness during liquid infusion and to determine relevant parameters. We will choose patients planed to receive laparoscopic surgery and general anesthesia, especially the patients with gastrointestinal tumors because of generally long operation time and much infusion volume. In our hospital, these patients will routinely indwelled arterial catheters and deep venous catheters during the operation. The former is mainly used to monitor direct arterial pressure, and the latter is used for fluid infusion.Through the above two pathways, we can collect the hemodynamic parameters of patients, and then establish the relationship between PVR and FR. In our study, a good FR was defined as a 10% increase in cardiac index (CI) after fluid infusion, and PVR is calculated by a special formula based on some specific parameters of hemodynamics.
