The effects of respiratory rate and tidal volume on pulse pressure variation in healthy lungs–a generalized additive model approach may help overcome limitations

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Prospective physiological study

Authors' conclusion

Correcting PPV for VT could improve PPV's predictive utility. Low HR/RR has limited effect on GAM-derived PPV, indicating that the low HR/RR limitation is related to how PPV is calculated. We did not demonstrate any benefit of GAM-derived PPV in predicting fluid responsiveness.

Study context

Population
Patients scheduled for open abdominal surgery, ventilated with VT 4 to 10 ml kg-1 and RR 10 to 31 min-1 before a 250 ml fluid bolus50 received fluid bolus
Participants
52 patients
Exposure
Classic PPV vs generalized additive model (GAM) PPV
Outcome
Effects of VT and RR on PPV and on PPV's ability to predict fluid responsiveness (stroke volume (SV) increase > 10%)
