Monitoring Devices in Prediction of Fluid Responsiveness in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock

June 30, 2021 updated by: Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital

Comparison of the Accuracy of Monitoring Devices in Prediction of Fluid Responsiveness in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock

Comparison of noninvasive cardiac output monitor (NICOM, Cheetah Medical) with Edwards FloTrac minimally-invasive cardiac output monitor in predicting fluid responsiveness in sepsis and septic shock.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Study will evaluate ability of passive leg raise test to predict fluid responsiveness in patients in septic shock, on vasopressors, using both the NICOM and FloTrac devices. An increase in CI, SVI, or Pulse Pressure of >10% in response to the passive leg raise will be considered a positive passive leg raise test, and the same indicators will be considered a significant response to a fluid challenge with either crystalloids or colloids.Each device will be evaluated independently, but simultaneously.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: NICOM/FloTrac
500-1000ml Crystalloid fluid challenge (normal saline or plasmalyte) to be given for positive passive leg raise test by either device, and also will be given at baseline, regardless of baseline PLR response.
Device: NICOM/FloTrac
Use of noninvasive cardiac output and minimally invasive cardiac output monitors
Other: Crystalloid Fluid Challenge
500-1000ml Normal Saline or Plasmalyte intravenous fluid bolus will be given at baseline, and following a positive passive leg raise response as defined by a 10% or greater increase in any of: stroke volume index, cardiac index, or pulse pressure, as measured by the NICOM or FloTrac Monitors.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants who have agreement or disagreement between passive leg raise response and subsequent intravenous fluid challenge
Time Frame: 15 minutes

Positive passive leg raise response is defined as a 10% or greater increase in any of: stroke volume index, cardiac index, or pulse pressure following passive leg raise of 45 degrees for 3 minutes.

Positive response to fluid challenge is defined as a 10% or greater increase in any of the same parameters following a 500ml or 1000 ml fluid challenge given over 10-15 minutes, using the same instrument, (NICOM or FloTrac). A negative response would be < 10% increase in these parameters using the same instrument
15 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Decrease in vasopressor dose, in response to fluid therapy guided by passive leg raise response using NICOM or Flotrac devices
Time Frame: 48 hours
48 hours
