D. Thermodilution
Principles of the PiCCO-Technology Injection t T Thermodilution Pulse contour analysis Calibration The PiCCO-Technology is a unique combination of two methods; Firstly the hemodynamic and volumetric status is determined by transpulmonary thermodilution (TD). Secondly arterial pulse contour is calibrated.
Thermodilution The indicator passes through heart and lungs. Detection Injection The indicator passes through heart and lungs. CO, Preload and Lung water are measured. PiCCO2 Booklet
Pulse Contour Analysis The second step is that arterial pulse contour is calibrated by TD - CO The systolic part of the curve, representing stroke volume, is calibrated. Each new TD automatically recalibrates the pulse contour PiCCO-PCCI is “beat to beat” Calibration also integrates the patients aortic compliance Injection t T Calibration P t
Workflow - Thermodilution Philips IntelliVue Model PiCCO2 PiCCO plus Dräger Infinity PiCCO SmartPod
Start thermodilution Select the injectate volume For an adult 15mls saline is recommended In the „Measurement“ menu you will find the recommended volume Press „Start“ 1 1 2 2 Auto – Thermodilution mode (x in a row)
Thermodilution When „Wait“ is displayed in the TD window the blood temperature profile is being calculated. Once the message ‘Inject xx ml’ appears, inject the saline bolus rapidly past the injectate sensor housing. The word ‘Injection’ indicates that the monitor has recognized the bolus injection. 3 The thermodilution curve appears in the TD window. 4 The results are highlighted in green in the table above the thermodilution curve. 4 2 3 1
Selection of results The TD results are averaged from the set of TD measurements. CI, GEDI and ELWI should be within 10% of each other Results that are outside this range should be excluded from the set of measurements. Measurements can be excluded by double clicking on the results. Excluded results are crossed out
Quality of the thermodilution 37° 36,7° 36,9° 36,8° Quality of thermodilution: Optimized when ∆T >0.3°C Good when ∆T >0.2°C Weak when ∆T <0.15°C ∆T = change in temperature ∆T =0.3°C Optimize the thermodilution by: More injection volume Colder injection Faster injection Raising blood temperature if hypothermic (after surgery) 37° 36,7° 36,9° 36,8° ∆T =0.14°C
ScvO2 Calibration PiCCO2
ScvO2 Calibration Press to start calibration The quality indicator should show a medium to high signal Withdraw blood from the Y- connector of the CeVOX probe. Ensure that you get only blood and no infusion fluid. Do a venous blood gas sample and flush the lumen with saline afterwards. Press “Sample drawn” after withdrawing blood. Enter the results of the BGA . Press „Confirm“ If DO2 and VO2 are enabled you need to enter the SaO2 (SpO2) value ScVO2 CAL DO2 & VO2 Measurement
LiMON – PDRICG* Press to go to LiMON calibration. Attach the LiMON sensor to a well perfused finger. Wait 3 minutes until the finger perfusion becomes adapted to the sensor. Ensure that the sensor is not subjected to strong direct light. If necessary cover the sensor during the measurement of the PDRICG SpO2 and perfusion level will be displayed. The signal should be stable. Press to calculate the ICG dose. Select target concentration: 0.25mg/Kg or 0.5mg/Kg Select the number and size of vials Use XX mls ‘water for injection’ ICG quantity: dose in mgs to inject Volume: Volume in mls to inject Calc * Parameter is not available in the USA

Inject calculated volume of ICG. Curve detected will be displayed PDRICG reading will be displayed after 5 – 8 mins Time of next possible measurement will be displayed. 6 7 * Parameter is not available in the USA

ScvO2 - Indicates insufficient tissue oxygenation ScvO2 – Central venous oxygen saturation Imbalance between O2 delivery and O2 consumption? Measurement via standard CVC ScvO2 (via CVC) correlates with SvO2 (via Pulmonary Artery Catheter) O2 Delivery When oxygen supply does not match oxygen demand, the oxygen deficit rapidly causes cell and organ injury leading to organ failure and subsequent complications ScvO2 values outside the normal range indicates a threat to tissue oxygenation and necessitates advanced hemodynamic monitoring to verify the cause.

Cardiac Output – Blood volume, amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute CI – Cardiac Index (Thermodilution) PCCI – Pulse Contour Cardiac Index (Cont. Pulse Contour) SVI – Stroke Volume Index Cardiac Index indicates the global blood flow Cardiac Index is Heart Rate x Stroke Volume Index Stroke Volume depends on preload, afterload and contractility Cardiac Index is indexed to the Body Surface Area (BSA) CO Heart rate Afterload Contractility Stroke volume Preload PCCI 3-5 l/min/m2 SVI 40-60 ml/m2
Preload Volume – Blood volume which fills the heart just prior to beating GEDI – Global End-diastolic Volume Index Filling volume of all 4 heart chambers Adequate preload volume is necessary for an adequate CO GEDI is indexed to the PBSA* Volumetric preload assessment * Predicted Body Surface Area (normalized body surface area) GEDI 680-800 ml/m2

Volume responsiveness – predicts the response of cardiac output to volume loading SVV – Stroke Volume Variation PPV – Pulse Pressure Variation Respiratory fluctuations in the arterial pressure curve in fully controlled ventilated patients. High SVV/PPV (>10%) indicates the stroke volume will increase following preload volume loading At values >10% volume replacement can be useful Stroke volume (SV) SVV > 10% PPV > 10% SVV 0-10% PPV 0-10% Preload (GEDI) SVV < 10% PPV < 10%
SVV / PPV – Safety Tips SVV / PPV – can only be used as a volume responsive parameter under controlled conditions. Is the patient on fully controlled ventilation? Spontaneous breathing or assisted breathing may cause incorrect measurements. Is the patient in sinus rhythm? The arterial pressure curve cannot be used in arrhythmic patients. Is the arterial pressure curve free from artifacts? Artifacts such as coughing or dys-synchronisation with the ventilator. Sufficiently high tidal volume? In cases of low tidal volume, the effect of ventilation on the arterial pressure curve is inadequate. (usable with a tidal volume >= 8ml/KG* PBW). * Muller et al. The influence of the airway driving pressure on pulsed pressure variation as a predictor of fluid responsiveness . ICM 2010; 36: 496-503 De Backer et al.

Lung water– water content of the lungs ELWI – Extravascular Lung Water Index Measurement of the intracellular, interstitial and intra-alveolar water content of the lungs (not pleural effusion) Direct and easy bedside quantification and tracking of pulmonary edema ELWI = 19 ml/kg ELWI = 7 ml/kg ELWI 3-7 ml/kgPBW ELWI = 14 ml/kg ELWI = 8 ml/kg
Predicted Body Weight (PBW) Absolute values (cardiac output, GEDV, EVLW) are indexed to the body surface area (BSA) and body weight (BW indexed) to make values comparable between patients. The size of the heart and lungs are proportional to ‘ideal’ BSA and ‘ideal’ weight, but not to actual BSA and weight KG GEDV and EVLW are indexed to ‘ideal’ BSA (PBSA) and ‘ideal’ weight (PBW). In order to avoid an underestimation of values in obese patients Cardiac output is indexed to the current BSA in order to ensure comparability to other systems. 81
Hydrostatic volume shift CI 5 If preload is low, volume is given. Preload loading can increase CI to its maximum. Excessive preload loading will also increase the hydrostatic pressure in the vascular system. This can lead to an increase in lung water. 3 ELWI GEDI 7 3 680 800 GEDI
