Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is widely used as a predictor of fluid responsiveness. However, a previous study has suggested a 'grey zone' between 9 and 13% in which PPV would be inconclusive to predict fluid responsiveness. Considering PPV is based on cardiopulmonary interactions, we evaluated whether an augmented PPV using a temporary increase in tidal volume (V T ) from 8 to 12 ml kg -1 has the predictability for fluid responsiveness in patients within the grey zone.
Adult patients requiring general anaesthesia were enrolled. During the period when PPV was within the range of 9-13%, haemodynamic variables such as stroke volume index (SVI) and PPV with an 8 ml kg -1 tidal volume ventilation (PPV8) were obtained before and after volume expansion (6 ml kg -1 ) under mechanical ventilation. Augmented PPV induced by 2-min ventilation with a V T of 12 ml kg -1 (PPV12) was also recorded immediately before volume loading. The patients whose SVI increased ≥10% after volume expansion were considered responders.
In 38 enrolled patients, 20 were responders. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed PPV12 had an excellent predictability for fluid responsiveness {area under the curve [AUC]=0.935 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.805-0.989]; sensitivity 95%; specificity 72%; P <0.0001}. The optimal threshold for PPV12 was >17%. However, PPV8 failed to show significant predictability [AUC=0.668 (95% CI 0.497-0.812); sensitivity 65%; specificity 61%; P =0.06].
In mechanically ventilated patients, our augmented PPV successfully predicted fluid responsiveness in the previously suggested grey zone.

脉压变异度(PPV)被广泛用作预测液体反应性的指标。然而,先前的一项研究表明,在 9%至 13%之间存在一个“灰色地带”,在此范围内,PPV 无法确定是否能够预测液体反应性。鉴于 PPV 是基于心肺相互作用的,我们评估了在灰色地带内的患者中,使用临时增加潮气量(V T )从 8 至 12ml/kg 是否可以增强 PPV 来预测液体反应性。
纳入需要全身麻醉的成年患者。在 PPV 处于 9-13%范围内的期间内,在机械通气下,通过 6ml/kg 的容量扩张,在容量扩张(6ml/kg)前后获得血流动力学变量,如每搏指数(SVI)和 8ml/kg 潮气量通气的 PPV(PPV8)。在进行容量加载之前,还记录了通过 2 分钟通气(V T 为 12ml/kg)诱导的增强 PPV(PPV12)。将 SVI 在容量扩张后增加≥10%的患者视为有反应者。
在 38 名纳入的患者中,有 20 名是有反应者。受试者工作特征曲线分析显示,PPV12 对液体反应性具有极好的预测性{曲线下面积(AUC)=0.935[95%置信区间(CI)0.805-0.989];灵敏度 95%;特异性 72%;P<0.0001}。PPV12 的最佳阈值>17%。然而,PPV8 未能显示出显著的预测性[AUC=0.668(95%CI 0.497-0.812);灵敏度 65%;特异性 61%;P=0.06]。
在机械通气的患者中,我们的增强 PPV 成功地预测了先前建议的灰色地带内的液体反应性。
