Authors' conclusion

We found statistically significant reductions in PIVAF1 during simulated blood loss but PIVAF1 did not predict increasing stroke volume during head-down tilt in general anesthesia.

Study context

Population
Healthy volunteers and mechanically ventilated patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery
Participants
15 vs 20
Comparison
PIVAF1 changes during simulated blood loss and head-down tilt under general anesthesia (GA)
  • Lower body negative pressure (LBNP)-cohortn = 15
  • GA-cohortn = 20
Outcome
Change in PIVA-derived fundamental frequency amplitude (PIVAF1) with volume changes
Methodological detailstwo cohorts
  • Two cohorts
