Effective evaluation of arterial pulse waveform analysis by two-dimensional stroke volume variation –stroke volume index plots
In this study, we analyzed how we visually interpret hemodynamic data, including stroke volume variation (SVV) and stroke volume (SV) derived from APWA. We performed arithmetic estimation of the SVV –SV relationship and applied measured values to this estimation. We then collected measured values in six anesthesia cases, including three liver transplantations and three other types of surgeries, to apply them to this SVV–SVI (stroke volume variation index) plot. Arithmetic analysis showed th at the relationship between SVV and SV can be drawn as hyperbolic curves. Plotting SVV-SV values in the semi-logarithmic scale sho...

Agreement in hemodynamic monitoring during orthotopic liver transplantation: a comparison of FloTrac/Vigileo at two monitoring sites with pulmonary artery catheter thermodilution
Abstract To study agreement in cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance index (Systemic VRI) and stroke volume variation (SV variation) between the FloTrac/Vigileo at radial and femoral arterial cannulation sites, and pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) thermodilution, in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation. A prospective observational study of 25 adult patients with liver failure. Radial and femoral arteries were cannulated with standardised FloTrac/Vigileo arterial transducer kits and a PAC was inserted. CI, SV variation and Systemic VRI were measured four times (30 min after induction of a...
