Predictive Ability of PEEP Induced Changes in CVP to Predict Volume Responsiveness in Mechanically Ventilated Patients After Major Abdominal Surgery

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Surgery; Critical Illness; Cardiac Output, Low

• Registration Number: NCT04191408
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital Dubrava

Brief Summary

Interventional study which will assess whether an positive end expiratory pressure induced increase of central venous pressure is a valid predictor of volume responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients after major abdominal surgery assessed by increase of cardiac output after passive leg raise.

Detailed Description

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Stroke volume increase after passive leg raise	Within 30 seconds after PLR	Patients who have a stroke volume (measured in ml) increase of 7% or more after passive leg raise will be considered volume responsive.; After the patients have been stratified into volume responders and volume non-responders, sensitivity and specificity of PEEP induced increase in CVP and pulse pressure variation will be assessed and further statistical analysis will be performed.
