Unlabelled: Distributive shock is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the ICU. IV fluid resuscitation is a vital intervention to improve cardiac output and end-organ perfusion during the initial resuscitation and for those who remain fluid responsive. Noninvasive measures of fluid responsiveness are lacking. The aim of this study is to assess whether changes in end-tidal co after mini-fluid challenge, or 250 mL bolus, can predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with distributive shock.

Design: Single-center prospective study.

Setting: Patients were enrolled from 2019 to 2021 from the medical ICU within a single academic hospital.

Patients: Thirty-eight patients with paired measurements of fluid responsiveness as determined by bioreactance who were admitted to the ICU with a diagnosis of distributive shock and on mechanical ventilation.

Interventions: Stroke volume index (SVI), cardiac index, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and ETco were measured before and after completion of a mini-fluid challenge. Test characteristics of change in ETco (ΔETco) greater than or equal to 2 after mini-fluid challenge to determine fluid responsiveness were calculated with percentage change in SVI greater than or equal to 10% used as the reference standard.

Measurements And Main Results: The sensitivity and specificity of a ΔETco greater than or equal to 2 mm Hg as a predictor of a change in SVI greater than or equal to 10% following a mini-fluid challenge were 20.0% and 91.3%, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.62.

Conclusions: A ΔETco greater than or equal to 2 mm Hg after mini-fluid challenge has limited test performance for determining fluid responsiveness in intubated patients with distributive shock.

Objective: The mini-fluid challenge (MFC), which assesses the change in stroke volume index (SVI) following the administration of 100 mL of crystalloids, and the short-time low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) challenge (SLPC), which evaluates the temporary reduction in SVI due to a PEEP increment, are two functional hemodynamic tests used to predict fluid responsiveness in the operating room. However, SLPC has not been assessed in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, and there is no study comparing these two methods during laparotomy. Therefore, we aimed to compare the SLPC and MFC in patients undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Background/aim: The percentage change in the stroke volume index (SVI) due to the mini fluid challenge (MFC) (MFC-ΔSVI%) is used commonly in daily practice. However, up to 20% of patients remain in the gray zone of this variable. Thus, it was aimed to compare the MFC-ΔSVI% and the percentage change in the cardiac power index (CPI) due to the MFC (MFC-ΔCPI%) with the baseline values of the pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) in terms of their abilities to predict fluid responsiveness.

Assessing fluid responsiveness with ultrasound in the neonatal intensive care setting: the mini-fluid challenge.

Eur J Pediatr

The mini-fluid challenge (MFC) can guide individualised fluid therapy and prevent fluid overload and associated morbidity in adult intensive care patients. This ultrasound test is based on the Frank-Starling principles to assess dynamic fluid responsiveness, but limited MFC data exists for newborns. This brief report describes the feasibility of the MFC in 12 preterm infants with late onset sepsis and 5 newborns with other pathophysiology.

Introduction: Predicting which patients with acute circulatory failure will respond to the fluid by an increase in cardiac output is a daily challenge. End-expiratory occlusion test (EEOT) and mini-fluid challenge (MFC) can be used for assessing fluid responsiveness in patients with spontaneous breathing activity, cardiac arrhythmias, low-tidal volume and/or low lung compliance.

Methods: The objective of the study is to evaluate the value of EEOT and MFC-induced rise in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) velocity time integral (VTI) in predicting fluid responsiveness in acute circulatory failure in comparison to the passive leg-raising (PLR) test.

Introduction: Prediction of fluid responsiveness in acutely ill patients might be influenced by a number of clinical and technical factors. We aim to identify variables potentially modifying the operative performance of fluid responsiveness predictors commonly used in clinical practice.

Methods: A sensitive strategy was conducted in the Medline and Embase databases to search for prospective studies assessing the operative performance of pulse pressure variation, stroke volume variation, passive leg raising (PLR), end-expiratory occlusion test (EEOT), mini-fluid challenge, and tidal volume challenge to predict fluid responsiveness in critically ill and acutely ill surgical patients published between January 1999 and February 2023.
