Dynamic Arterial Elastance: an Indirect Marker of the Critical Capillary Pressure at the Microcirculatory Level (POEME)

Dynamic Arterial Elastance: an Indirect Marker of the Critical Capillary Pressure at the Microcirculatory Level (POEME)

The measurement of dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn) was proposed as a marker of vascular tone. It is calculated by the ratio of the respiratory variation of the pulse pressure and the respiratory variation of stroke volume. Despite several clinical studies, no study has really focused on the physiological significance of Eadyn. No study demonstrates at present, if this index is a reflect of macrocirculatory parameters (systemic resistances, blood pressure, arterial elastance, ventricular elastance, ventriculo-arterial coupling) or microcirculatory tone in the capillaries and small arterioles (critical capillary pressure or capillary resistance). the physicians don't know which variables are associated with this index. the hypothesis is that Eadyn is an indirect reflect of capillary pressure (PCC).

Detailed Description

The measurement of dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn) was proposed as a marker of vascular tone. It is calculated by the ratio of the respiratory variation of the pulse pressure and the respiratory variation of stroke volume. Despite several clinical studies, no study has really focused on the physiological significance of Eadyn. No study demonstrates at present, if this index is a reflect of macrocirculatory parameters (systemic resistances, blood pressure, arterial elastance, ventricular elastance, ventriculo-arterial coupling) or microcirculatory tone in the capillaries and small arterioles (critical capillary pressure or capillary resistance). the physicians don't know which variables are associated with this index. One hypothesis is that Eadyn is an indirect reflection of capillary pressure (PCC). The main objective of this project is to study the correlation between the measure of Eadyn and the PCC. The study begins when the physician in charge of the patient decides a hemodynamic treatment (either volume expansion or norepinephrine). The indication of the treatment is left to the discretion of the physician in charge of the patient: volume expansion or vasopressor agent. After verification of inclusion criteria, the physician collects demographic, ventilatory, hemodynamic, cardiac ultrasound data, and the type of treatment initiated (volume expansion, norepinephrine, and their dosages). 15 minutes after the introduction of the therapy and stabilization of the hemodynamic state, a new series of measurements of the aforementioned.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult patients admitted to intensive care

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patients admitted to intensive care, for whom the physician has decided, in accordance with the care protocols of the service, to provide treatment for preload dependence or post-operative vasoplegia syndrome,

    • patients monitored by a central venous catheter, a measurement of blood pressure with continuous monitoring of cardiac output by calibrated analysis of the pulse wave contour (PICCO or EV1000),
    • Patients with sinus heart rate,
    • Patients covered by a social insurance system,
    • Patients who have given their oral consent to participation after complete information

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Modification of therapies during the study period,
  • Rhythm disorder with PM
  • Appearance of cardiac rhythm disturbances (Ac / Fa, Tac / Fa, TV, FV).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Volume expansion
Other: volume expansion
Volume expansion when the patient has a dependent preload evaluated by a positive leg lever test (variation of more than 10% of the VES). It corresponds to the intravenous administration of 500 ml of Ringer lactate over 10 min.
norepinephrine
Other: norepinephrine
Vasopressor agent when the patient has persistent arterial hypotension related to postoperative vasoplegia syndrome. Norepinephrine is administered during persistent hypotension (MAP <60mmHg) despite volume expansion. It corresponds to continuous intravenous norepinephrine administration to obtain a MAP of more than 70 mmHg

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
