Introduction • Cardiac index is a cornerstone of goal-directed therapy. • Ice-cold injectateis assumed to provide best accuracy of transpulmonarythermodilution (TPTD)-derived CI, GEDVI and EVLWI. • Room-temperature injectatemight facilitate TPTDs outside the ICU, e.g. in the operating room. • This substantiated by few data.
Methods • 26 adult mixed ICU-patients with PiCCO-monitoring (Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany) • 6x 20ml TPTDs (3 times with room temperature 22°C and 3 times with ice-cold 4°C saline). • Means of the 3 room-temperature TPTDs were compared with the means of the 3 cold TPTDs (primary endpoint) • Bland-Altman • Means of 1st warm and 1st cold measurements were compared to means of the 2nd measurements.
Correlations GEDVI CI EVLWI
Bland and Altman PE 14% CI
Bland and Altman (volumes) PE 18% PE 13% GEDVI EVLWI
Effect 1st measurement • Means of first warm and first cold measurement exceeded means of second measurements for CI, GEDVI, EVLWI
Conclusions • TPTDRoom results in slight, but significant overestimation of CI, GEDVI and EVLWI. • In routine, bias and PE values are acceptable for CI and EVLWI. • Loss of indicator within the catheter may result in significant (albeit clinically irrelevant) overestimation of 1st measurements of CI and GEDVI.
