Peak first derivative of femoral artery pressure (arterial dP/dtmax) derived from fluid-filled catheter remains questionable to assess left ventricular (LV) contractility during shock. The aim of this study was to test if arterial dP/dtmax is reliable for assessing LV contractility during various hemodynamic conditions such as endotoxin-induced shock and catecholamine infusion.
Ventricular pressure-volume data obtained with a conductance catheter and invasive arterial pressure obtained with a fluid-filled catheter were continuously recorded in 6 anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated pigs. After a stabilization period, endotoxin was infused to induce shock. Catecholamines were transiently administrated during shock. Arterial dP/dtmax was compared to end-systolic elastance (Ees), the gold standard method for assessing LV contractility.
Endotoxin-induced shock and catecholamine infusion lead to significant variations in LV contractility. Overall, significant correlation (r=0.51; p<0.001) but low agreement between the two methods were observed. However, a far better correlation with a good agreement were observed when positive-pressure ventilation induced an arterial pulse pressure variation (PPV)≤11% (r=0.77; p<0.001).
While arterial dP/dtmax and Ees were significantly correlated during various hemodynamic conditions, arterial dP/dtmax was more accurate for assessing LV contractility when adequate vascular filling, defined as PPV≤11%, was achieved.
从充满液体的导管获得的股动脉压力的峰值一阶导数(动脉 dp/dtmax)用于评估休克期间的左心室(LV)收缩性仍存在疑问。本研究的目的是测试在各种血流动力学条件下,如内毒素诱导的休克和儿茶酚胺输注期间,动脉 dp/dtmax 是否可靠地用于评估 LV 收缩性。
在 6 只麻醉和机械通气的猪中,连续记录使用传导导管获得的心室压力-容积数据和使用充满液体的导管获得的有创动脉压。在稳定期后,输注内毒素以诱导休克。在休克期间短暂给予儿茶酚胺。将动脉 dp/dtmax 与评估 LV 收缩性的金标准方法——收缩末期弹性(Ees)进行比较。
内毒素诱导的休克和儿茶酚胺输注导致 LV 收缩性发生显著变化。总体而言,两种方法之间观察到显著的相关性(r=0.51;p<0.001),但一致性较低。然而,当正压通气引起动脉脉搏压变化(PPV)≤11%时,观察到更好的相关性和更好的一致性(r=0.77;p<0.001)。
虽然在各种血流动力学条件下,动脉 dp/dtmax 和 Ees 之间存在显著相关性,但当达到足够的血管充盈(定义为 PPV≤11%)时,动脉 dp/dtmax 更准确地评估 LV 收缩性。
