Assessing Fluid-responsiveness Using Non-invasive Hybrid Diffuse Optics on Peripheral Muscle

Proof-of-concept observational study including ICU patients undergoing a PLR maneuver. Local microvasculature will be assessed with the hDOS platform on the brachioradialis muscle, deriving the microvascular blood flow index (BFI) and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2). CO will be assessed via an invasive hemodynamic monitor based on pulse waveform analysis through the patient's arterial line. The correlation over time between CO and microvascular parameters, and the ability of microvascular variables for predicting a positive CO response (increase > 10%) will be assessed.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Invasive blood pressure monitoring through an arterial line

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with suspected pregnancy
  • Intra-abdominal hypertension
  • Elevated intracranial pressure

Treatment and study plan

Passive Leg Raising maneuver

Other

The PLR will be performed using automatic bed adjustment: Starting from a semi-recumbent position, the lower limbs will be elevated to a 45° angle while the trunk will be moved from semi-recumbent to supine. After three minutes, subjects will be returned to the initial semi-recumbent position.

Primary outcomes

  1. Cardiac Output Response

    Time frame: During procedure

    The relative increase in % of the Cardiac Output (CO), from baseline during the Passive Leg Raising (PLR) test (at 60-120 seconds within the maneuver), will be calculated. Those subjects with a relative increase equal to or above 10% will be classified as CO-responders to the PLR. On the other hand, if the increase in CO during the PLR is below 10%, subjects will be classified as non-responders.
