Respiratory Variations For Assessing Blood Withdrawal

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether respiratory variations of the inferior vena cava (ΔIVC) and internal jugular vein (ΔIJV) diameters during standardized breathing (ΔIVCST and ΔIJVST) increase after a therapeutic bleeding in spontaneously breathing and non-obese patients with genetic hemochromatosis.

DESIGN: Prospective, monocentric study in the EFS Nord-de-France blood center.

PATIENTS: Non-obese patients with genetic hemochromatosis undergoing a therapeutic bleeding.

INTERVENTIONS: Ultrasound measures and collected clinical parameters before and after a therapeutic bleeding, during a standardized respiratory maneuver.

MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES: The primary endpoint was the ΔIVCST change induced by a 300 to 500ml therapeutic bleeding. It measured the minimal and maximal IVC and IJV diameters during a standardized respiratory maneuver. ΔIVCST and ΔIJVST were calculated as follows: [(maximal diameter - minimal diameter)/maximal diameter].100.

Treatment and study plan

echography

Procedure

The inferior vena cava and the internal jugular vein diameters were measured by echography before and after blood withdrawal during a standardized respiratory maneuver

Primary outcomes

  1. blood withdrawal-induced changes in the respiratory variations of the inferior vena cava during a standardized respiratory maneuver (ΔIVCST)

    Time frame: during a standardized respiratory maneuver, an average 1 hour maximum

    The primary endpoint was the ΔIVCST change induced by a 300 to 500ml therapeutic bleeding. The investigators measured the minimal and maximal IVC diameters during a standardized ventilation. ΔIVCST was calculated as follows: [(maximal diameter - minimal diameter)/maximal diameter].100.

Secondary outcomes

  1. blood withdrawal-induced changes in the respiratory variations of the internal jugular vein during a standardized respiratory maneuver (ΔIJVST)

    Time frame: during a standardized respiratory maneuver, an average 1 hour maximum

    The primary endpoint was the ΔIJVST change induced by a 300 to 500ml therapeutic bleeding. The investigators measured the minimal and maximal IJV diameters during a standardized ventilation. ΔIJVST was calculated as follows: [(maximal diameter - minimal diameter)/maximal diameter].100.
