Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Hypovolemia
Interventions
Procedure: Pulse oximeter
Registration Number
NCT02952651
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate predictability of a respiratory variation in pulse oximeter plethysmography for fluid responsiveness in children undergoing major surgery.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate predictability of a a respiratory variation in pulse oximeter plethysmography (delta POP) for fluid responsiveness in children undergoing major surgery.

When there are clinical signs of hypovolemia, such as hypotension, decreased urine output and central venous pressure less than 5 mmHg, the study will be started. At index fingers of both hand, pulse oximeter sensors are applied by gradually increasing the contact force (from 0 to 1.4N, being increased by 0.2-0.3N). Then, pulse oximeter plethysmography (POP) waveforms are obtained for 90 seconds. Then, intravenous crystalloid fluid 10 mL/kg is infused for 15 min.

To evaluate the change of cardiac output, transesophageal or transthoracic echocardiography is performed before and after fluid administration. In addition, hemodynamic parameters including pulse pressure variation, systolic pressure variation, pleth variability index and central venous pressure are also recorded before and after fluid administration.

Finally, patients will be divided into fluid responder group and non-responder group. If stroke volume index measured using echocardiography increases over 15% after fluid administration, the patient will be fluid responder.

Delta POP (%) obtained from each finger with different contact force is calculated as follows;(POPmax - POPmin)/{(POPmax + POPmin)/2}. Using receiver operating characteristic curve, diagnostic power of delta POPs from different contact forces for fluid responsiveness will be evaluated. In addition, difference between delta POP from low contact force and that from high contact force will be evaluated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The ability of delta POP for prediction of fluid responsiveness in childrenBefore and after fluid administration (total 20 min)

Delta POP (%) obtained from each finger with different contact force is calculated as follows;(POPmax - POPmin)/{(POPmax + POPmin)/2}. Delta POP differs according to contact force. After calculation of each delta POP, we will evaluate the ability to predict fluid responsiveness of delta POP using receiver operating characteristic curve.
