Preload Dependence During Prone Position In ARDS Patients (PRD-ARDS-PP)

December 13, 2025 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Evaluation of Performance Diagnosis of Hemodynamic Parameters of Preload Dependence in ARDS Patients During Prone Position

Preload dependence assessment is difficult during prone position, and to date, no hemodynamic parameters have been validated to rationalize fluid loading in that position. This study aims to validate several hemodynamic parameters, using continuous cardiac output by pulse contour analysis and transpulmonary thermodilution.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area under ROC curve of the variation in continuous cardiac output during Trendelenburg position, to detect preload dependence
Time Frame: 1 minute after Trendelenburg position onset.
Preload dependence is assessed by the response in cardiac output to a 500 mL fluid loading, and is deemed positive if cardiac output increase by at least 15%
1 minute after Trendelenburg position onset.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area under ROC curve of the variation in continuous cardiac output during end-expiratory occlusion to detect preload dependence
Time Frame: 15 seconds after the onset of end-expiratory occlusion
Preload dependence is assessed by the response in cardiac output to a 500 mL fluid loading, and is deemed positive if cardiac output increase by at least 15%
15 seconds after the onset of end-expiratory occlusion
Area under ROC curve of the respiratory variation in pulse pressure to detect preload dependence
Time Frame: 1 minute after tidal volume increase to 8 ml/kg
Preload dependence is assessed by the response in cardiac output to a 500 mL fluid loading, and is deemed positive if cardiac output increase by at least 15%
1 minute after tidal volume increase to 8 ml/kg
