AbstractAnimal studies suggest that dynamic predictors remain useful in patients with pneumoperitoneum, but human data is conflicting. Our aim was to determine predictive values of pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) in patients with pneumoperitoneum using LiDCORapid™ haemodynamic monitor. Standardised fluid challenges of colloid were administered to patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures, one fluid challenge per patient. Intra-abdominal pressure was automatically held at 12 mmHg. Fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase in nominal stroke index (nSI) ≥ 10%. Linear regression was used to assess the ability of PPV and SVV to track the changes of nSI and logistic regression and area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) to assess the predictive value of PPV and SVV for fluid responsiveness. Threshold values for PPV and SVV were obtained using the "gray zone" approach. A p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. 56 patients were included in analysis. 41 patients (73%) responded to fluids. Both PPV and SVV tracked changes in nSI (Spearman correlation coefficients 0.34 for PPV and 0.53 for SVV). Odds ratio for fluid responsiveness for PPV was 1.163 (95% CI 1.01-1.34) and for SVV 1.341 (95% CI 1.10-1.63). PPV achieved an AUROC of 0.674 (95% CI 0.518-0.830) and SVV 0.80 (95% CI 0.668-0.932). The gray zone of PPV ranged between 6.5 and 20.5% and that of SVV between 7.5 and 13%. During pneumoperitoneum, as measured by LiDCORapid™, PPV and SVV can predict fluid responsiveness, however their sensitivity is lower than the one reported in conditions without pneumoperitoneum. Trial registry number: (with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry): ACTRN12612000456853.
