Bio Electrical Impedance Analysis to Monitor Fluid Status During Deresuscitation Strategy in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

Conditions
Fluid Overload
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Segmental multi-frequency bio electrical impedance analysis
Registration Number
NCT05160467
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Fluid overload is a poor prognostic factor in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy in critical care. A strategy of active fluid removal by net ultrafiltration (UFnet) is one of the means to correct it. However, fluid overload is difficult to quantify: weight variations or cumulative fluid balance are easy to use but imprecise and not concordant markers, while reference methods such as isotope dilution are not adapted to daily practice.

Bio electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to estimate body composition, including hydration. It is a non-invasive, rapid and painless measurement. It is commonly used in chronic intermittent haemodialysis to estimate dry weight and guide fluid removal, with a demonstrated impact on blood pressure control. This analysis is feasible in the ICU. Fluid overload as defined by BIA correlates with mortality, most notably in acute renal failure and during continuous renal replacement therapy.

We routinely perform multifrequency segmental BIA (InBody S10, Seoul, Korea) in patients with fluid overload in our intensive care department. Since February 2021, we have implemented a protocol to systematically correct fluid overload by inducing negative fluid balance with UFnet in a manner appropriate to tissue perfusion. In this context, we systematically perform a BIA analysis on the day of the beginning of the fluid balance negativation and then every 48 hours during the first five days.

We would like to evaluate the relevance of BIA monitoring in these patients by comparing it to other parameters of evaluation of the volume status usually used.

GroupInterventionDescription
Deresuscitation cohortSegmental multi-frequency bio electrical impedance analysisPatients with fluid overload (defined by a cumulative fluid balance \> 5%), stable hemodynamic (defined by Norepinephrine equivalent \< 0.5µg/kg/min and nor clinical nor biological sign of hypoperfusion) and continuous renal replacement therapy. All these patients benefit in our service from a protocol directed, perfusion based deresuscitation strategy with a 2mL/kg/h net ultra filtration to induce negative fluid balance and correct fluid overload. If hypoperfusion occurs, the net ultra filtration is stopped; if pulmonary oedema or right ventricular dysfunction occurs, the net ultra filtration is set to 3mL/kg/h. We carried out at day 0, 1,3 and 5 bio electrical impedance analysis with an eight polar multifrequency bio impedance monitor (InBody S10), and monitor cumulative fluid balance with our prescription software and daily weight assessment.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation coefficient between changes in extracellular water volume estimated by BIA and cumulative fluid balance between day 0 and day 5 (mL).Coefficient correlation between the variation from day 0 to day 5 of extra cellular water and cumulative fluid balance

The extra cellular water is a volumetric value, given automatically by the InBody S10 device. The cumulative fluid balance at day 5 is the sum of the daily fluid balances between day 0 and day 5.

Definition of the fluid balance = inputs - outputs :

* Inputs = total cumulative volume of: parenteral medication; enteral and parenteral nutrition; maintenance fluid; blood products; fluid bolus therapy

* Outputs = total cumulative volume of: diuresis; losses to drain; net ultra filtration
