About

The goal of this study is to assess the ability of a new smartphone PPV app to predict fluid responsiveness in cardiac surgical patients in the Intensive care unit (in the postoperative period)

Full description

Pulse pressure variation (PPV) remains a good predictor of fluid responsiveness in the ICU in ventilated and sedated patients. However, PPV can be time-consuming to calculate (manual determination), is not always displayed on monitoring screens nor reliable through visual assessment and needs additional often costly devices to be displayed. A new Android application (Captesia) automatically calculates the PPV utilizing a digital photograph of the arterial waveform from the monitor. The application determines the PPV by selecting peaks and troughs of the arterial curve.

Description:

operated patients from cardiac surgery. Once they arrived in the ICU, we will measure PPV with the capstesia and the PICCO device at baseline, and after a volume expansion of 500 ml of crystalloid.

Treatment:

Other: PPV from the capstesia
