What is your Interpretation?
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
There is NO single gold standard parameter to
assess volume in critically ill
22-02-2018 BESTriCC

WHY???
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Basic Physiology
• Frank-Starling Relationship
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Answer is…
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Fluid resuscitation
Benefits Adverse effects
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
POSITIVE is NEGATIVE
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Key question?...
Volume responders
vs
volume non-responders
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Definition
• Volume responders
Increases in stroke volume by >15% after a
500 ml fluid challenge
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Lazy vs Energetic

Heart- Lung Interaction
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Heart-Lung Interaction
• SPONTANEOUS BREATHING:
Inspiration- Decrease ITP
• Dynamic parameters
– Pulse pressure variation
– Stroke volume variation
– Passive leg raising (PLR) test
– Sonography assessment- IVC indices, Velocity Time Integral
(VTI) with the help of respiratory variation & PLR
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Advantages of using Sonography
• Easy
• Non invasive
• Reproducible
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Static Parameters
LV Size
• Predicts FR only when it is very small
• Confounders are
LV hypertrophy
High Inotropic support
Vasodilated state

IVC & Heart-Lung Interactions
IVC diameter variation:
• Spontaneous breath= IVC collapses during
inspiration & dilates during expiration
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
IVC & Heart-Lung Interactions
Diameter of IVC
( Transmural pressure)
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
IVC collapsibility Index
If a patient is breathing normally,
Cut off value > 12% indicates fluid
responders
If a patient is breathing fast
Cut off value > 40% indicates fluid
responders

diameter are helpful in predicting fluid responsiveness in
ventilated septic patients; 2004

• Barbier et al used IVC distensibility index
Cutoff value of > 18% indicates fluid

Respiratory variation with VTI
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Respiratory variation with VTI
Moderate speed= 50 mm/sec
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Respiratory variation with VTI
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Limitations of VTI
• Sinus rhythm
• No spontaneous respiratory effort
• Vt must be atleast 8 ml/kg
• Intra-abdominal pressure – Normal
• Thorax should be intact
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
PLR
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
PLR
• Auto-transfusion
• Completely reversible
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
PLR with VTI
Perform PLR
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
PLR with VTI
Pro’s Con’s
• Spontaneous respiration • Cumbersome technique
• Arrhythmias • Raised intra abdominal
• Reversible pressure
• Pt’s on ECMO • Raised intracranial pressure
• Pain on tilting
• Lower limb amputation
• Peripheral vascular disease

Role of Lung USG
• NORMAL LUNG SURFACES:
• Lung sliding is a to-and-fro movement at the pleural line is
called “A LINE” or “A PROFILE”
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
FALLS-protocol (Fluid Administration
Limited by Lung Sonography)
• Acute circulatory failure
• When fluid penetrates the lung, the normal A
PROFILE will be changed to B PROFILE=INTERSTITIAL
SYNDROME
• Interstitial edema always precedes alveolar edema
• It can be detected in an early stage, before gas
exchange impairs
• The change from A- to B-lines indicates the endpoint
for fluid therapy
22-02-2018 BESTriCC
Role of Lung USG
• A-lines indicate fluid responders, B-lines an endpoint
for fluid therapy
