About this study
Official title: Mean Systemic Filling Pressure and Heart Performance as Predictors of Successful Fluid Responsiveness in Patients With Sepsis
The purpose of this study is to determine fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients by measuring mean systemic filling pressure on the intensive care unit.
Read the detailed description
The assessment of the cardiovascular state in critically ill patients is subject to difficulties in terms of the fact that several hemodynamic parameters, for example mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and cardiac output (CO) supply insufficient information about the circulating volume and cardiac performance. There is a clinical need to adequate determination of intravascular volume status and therefore reliable predictors of fluid responsiveness are highly relevant. However, in determining the fluid status of a patient, the lack of appreciation of the venous side of the circulation persists today, which is greatly due to the inability to appropriately assess the venous side of the circulation. The importance of the venous part of the circulation is moreover reflected by the fact that an increase in venous resistance does reduce CO many times more than a similar increase in arterial resistance. Mean systemic filling pressure (Pms), which is defined as the pressure equal to the pressure which would be measured if the heart should suddenly stop pumping and all (arterial and venous) the pressures in the entire circulatory system should be brought to equilibrium instantaneously, is a good, complete and reliable reflection of the total intravascular fluid compartment. Passive leg raising (PLR) represents a "self-volume challenge" that predicts preload responsiveness and the transient hemodynamic changes on venous return can be directly monitored in ventilated patients, provided that there is an intact circulation, in order to test the amount of volume responsiveness.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Sepsis | Patients diagnosed with septic shock, admitted to the intensive care unit, with a good left ventricular ejection fraction without significant co-morbidity are highly eligible for this study. Patients must be equipped with a pulse-contour cardiac output (PICCO)-system with a central venous catheter which will be applied by the intensivist on admission.Patients will be subsequently connected to the hemodynamic monitoring device Navigator™. In those patients with clinical signs of inadequate tissue perfusion, passive leg raising and standardized fluid challenge will be performed. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean systemic filling pressure (Pms)
An increase in mean systemic filling pressure after (self)volume-challenge indicating volume responsiveness of the patient
Measured: 1 hour
Secondary outcomes (1)
Heart performance (eH)
Quotient of driving pressure of venous return in mmHg
Measured: 1 hour
