Abstract

The goal of this study was to compare stroke volume variation (SVV) assessed from a peripheral artery with the Vigileo/FloTrac system (SVV-FloTrac) with SVV derived close to the heart by aortic Doppler (SVV-Doppler). Thirty patients undergoing liver transplantation underwent simultaneous SVV-FloTrac and SVV-Doppler measurements before and after intravascular volume expansion. SVV-FloTrac and SVV-Doppler comparison before intravascular volume expansion showed a mean bias of 0.7%, and 95% limits of agreement of -4.2% to 5.5%. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves generated to discriminate responders and nonresponders to intravascular volume expansion were not different for SVV-FloTrac and SVV-Doppler. SVV-FloTrac and SVV-Doppler measurements show acceptable bias and limits of agreement, and similar performance in terms of fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
