Monday, March 6, 2023

The researchers concluded that “PVi and SVV are equally effective for guiding intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy in adult neurosurgical patients scheduled for elective craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumors.

Key Points: 
  • The researchers concluded that “PVi and SVV are equally effective for guiding intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy in adult neurosurgical patients scheduled for elective craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumors.
  • In the PVi group, patients were monitored using Masimo Radical-7® Pulse CO-Oximeters® with noninvasive pulse oximetry fingertip sensors.
  • In the SVV group, SVV was invasively measured using an Edwards Lifesciences Vigileo/FloTrac device connected to a cannulated radial artery.
  • This suggests that PVi, derived noninvasively from the pulse oximetry waveform, is a reliable indicator of fluid responsiveness.”
