Effect of right ventricular dysfunction on dynamic preload indices to predict a decrease in cardiac output after inferior vena cava clamping during liver transplantation.

摘要

BACKGROUND: Dynamic preload indices such as stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) have yielded false-positive results in patients with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. We therefore assessed the effect of RV dysfunction on dynamic indices to predict the decrease in cardiac output (CO) during liver transplantation. METHODS: Hemodynamic parameters were measured before and after inferior vena cava (IVC) clamping in 52 recipients. The RV dysfunction was defined as an RV ejection fraction (RVEF) /= 20% after IVC clamping in recipients was calculated. RESULTS: Recipients with RVEF /= 20%. In recipients with RVEF > 30%, the threshold value and AUC of SVV predicting a decrease in CO were 10% and 0.755 (compared with an AUC of 0.5, P = .011), respectively, whereas those for PPV were 10% and 0.767 (P = .007), respectively. However, in recipients with RVEF
