Brief summary
Perioperative prone position may be associated with hemodynamic instability. The causes of instability have not yet been precisely elucidated. The aim of this study is to demonstrate physiological changes during prone positioning in healthy volunteers .
Detailed description
The prone position could decrease the cardiac index (CI), mainly due to reduction in stroke volume, with little changes in heart rate. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) could be maintained by increased systemic vascular resistance (SVR) in the majority of patients. The aim of this study is to describe hemodynamic changes in two different surgical prone positions in 10 healthy non-anesthetized volunteers (flat position and using a support system allowing a free abdomen) by non-invasive measurement of hemodynamics (ClearSight, Edwards) and indirectly evaluated intra-abdominal pressure using ultrasound. The ClearSight system provides advanced hemodynamic parameters (cardiac index CI, stroke volume SV, stroke volume variation SVV, systemic vascular resistance SVR, mean arterial pressure MAP) from a finger cuff.
Interventions
Unsupported prone position with arms along the body in neutral position will be used first without any supportive device except support of heels with a soft cylindrical device, head will be held in a neutral position using prone head rest. After recording of all measered values, the prone position using the prone position support system will be tested. The support system allows free movement of the lower thorax and abdomenal wall, upper arms are elevated and angled in 90 degrees (in shoulders and elbows). Heels will be positioned at the level of the heart using a supportive cylindrical device. Head will be held in a neutral position using prone head rest.
