Autonomic Challenges From Mild Hypovolemia and Mechanical Ventilation
Effects of Low Central Volume and Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation on the Heart Rate Variability
Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Twelve healthy volunteers will be studied. Mild hypovolemia will be induced by 12 hours fasting from food and drinks. At 8.30 AM the study protocol will start. The studied subjects will lie calm supine in a ICU bed able to provide passive head up and head down tilt. They will be connected to a Siemens SC9000 monitor showing their ECG waves and to a Nexfin (BMEYE) monitor for continuous noninvasive blood pressure (NBP) assessment. Both waves (ECG and NBP) will be recorded on a laptop PC through analogic/digital input/output converter (PowerLab 8/35, ADinstruments). The studied subjects will undergo to a sequence of (1) spontaneous breathing at 10 degrees head up, (2) spontaneous breathing at 7 degrees head down, (3) noninvasive ventilation at 10 degrees head up, and (4) noninvasive ventilation at 7 degrees head down. The sequence 1-2-3-4 will be randomized. After this four phases, a fluid challenge of ringer acetate 15ml*kg will be intravenously administered and the a sequence 1-2-3-4 will be repeated after a new randomization. Noninvasive ventilation will be provided with a facial mask with ventilatory setting: Psupp 8 cmH2O, PEEP 5 cmH2O, FiO2 0.28. Psupp will be decreased by 2 cmH2O steps if the inspiratory tidal volume will be >10ml*kg. During both spontaneous breathing and noninvasive ventilation the subjects will breathe following a metronome at 18bpm.
HRV analysis will be conducted following the recommendation of the Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology and the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (see reference).
Furthermore, the healthy volunteers will be studied by trans-thoracic ultrasound assessment with a Philips EPIQ7 sonographer, during each study phase.

Experimental: Studied subjects
Each subject will be studied during two sequential phases:
During each phase, the subjects will be studied at:

Mild hypovolemia will be induced in healthy volunteers by 12 hours fasting. Three conditions will be considered for the analysis, each of them both during spontaneous breathing and positive pressure ventilation:
A total of six steps will be considered for the analysis Each previous step will be done in two respiratory conditions:
