Sevoflurane
Cardiac Output
Venous Return
Vascular Resistance
Registration Number
NCT06707077
Lead Sponsor
Children's Hospital of Fudan University
Brief Summary

Cardiac output (CO) is measured using Mostcare. Mean systemic filling pressure (MSFP) and vascular resistances are calculated using venous return curves constructed by measuring steady-state arterial and venous pressures and cardiac output (CO) during inspiratory hold manoeuvres at increasing plateau pressures. Measurements are performed at three incremental levels of targeted sevoflurane concentrations.

Detailed Description

Tracheal intubation is performed after anesthesia induction with sevoflurane. Radial arterial is cannulated and pressure transducer is connected to MostCare (core technique PRAM). HR, MAP, CVP, CO, SVR, PPV, and dp/dt are recorded at three incremental levels of targeted sevoflurane concentrations. MSFP and vascular resistances are calculated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cardiac outputHemodynamic parameters are recorded after 15 min of equilibration at each sevoflurane concentration.

Cardiac output is monitored using Mostcare via a radial arterial catheter connected to the pressure transducer.

mean systemic filling pressureHemodynamic parameters are recorded after 15 min of equilibration at each sevoflurane concentration.

Mean systemic filling pressure (MSFP) is calculated using venous return curve constructed by measuring steady-state arterial and venous pressures and CO during inspiratory hold manoeuvres at increasing plateau pressures. The CVP and CO data are fitted by linear regression to define the venous return curve. We define MSFP by extrapolation to zero flow.

vascular resistanceHemodynamic parameters are recorded after 15 min of equilibration at each sevoflurane concentration.

Total systemic vascular resistance (Rsys) is calculated as the ratio of the pressure difference between mean Pa and mean CVP and CO. The resistance downstream to MSFP is taken to reflect the resistance to venous return (Rv) and is calculated as the ratio of the pressure difference between MSFP and CVP and CO. Systemic arterial resistance (Ra) is taken to be the difference between systemic and venous resistance.

Secondary Outcome Measures
