Dynamic Arterial Elastance as a Predictor of Arterial Blood Pressure Response to Fluid Administration in Septic Patients

Completed
Conditions
Sepsis
Registration Number
NCT03179215
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

Correction of arterial hypotension is essential for adequate cellular metabolism. maintaining MAP above a minimum level has been recommended in order to prevent further tissue hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction.Functional assessment of arterial load by dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn), has recently been shown to predict the arterial pressure response to volume expansion (VE) in hypotensive, preload-dependent septic patients.

Detailed Description

After approval from the ethics and research committee of Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, an informed consent will be obtained from each patient's next of kin. Arteial cathter will be inserted in radial artery and connected through an arterial line to invasive arterial blood pressure monitor. Electrical Cardiometry will be attached to patient through the placement of four skin sensors on the neck and left side of the thorax12. A set of hemodynamic measurements will be obtained at baseline and after infusing a fluid challenge (FC) of 150-250 ml normal saline over 5-10 minutes.Fluid-responders are patients with a SV increase ≥10% after fluid challenge (FC).
