Stroke Volume Variation

Pulse pressure variation is a monitoring index that indicates the response to fluid therapy in patients receiving mechanical ventilation, and is used as a reference for patients with unstable hemodynamic conditions. However, it is invasive because it requires arterial puncture to collect it. In a previous study by the investigators, the investigators developed and verified an artificial intelligence model that predicts stroke volume variation, in real time using only the central venous pressure waveform. However, since a large vein such as the jugular vein must be punctured to collect the central venous pressure waveform, it is still invasive, and its clinical utility is low. Therefore, in this study, the investigators collected waveforms from peripheral veins that are less invasive and can be a wide range of applications because all surgical patients have them. The investigators aimed to develop and verify an artificial intelligence model that predicts pulse pressure variation obtained from peripheral venous waveforms .

Pulse pressure variation (PPV) and pleth variability index (PVI) are widely used in clinical practice as indicators of the responsiveness to fluid therapy in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. PPV, which measures changes in arterial pressure, requires arterial puncture, which is invasive, and PVI, which detects subtle changes in oxygen saturation, requires an expensive, commercial monitoring equipment. In this study, we aimed to measure peripheral venous pressure variation using less invasive waveform variation in peripheral veins and to determine whether this indicator can be clinically used to predict the responsiveness to fluid therapy. In addition, the investigators aimed to confirm the superiority of the indicators by comparing them with the responsiveness to fluid therapy of the PPV and PVI.
