Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Fluid challenge consisting in 500 ml of intravenous crystalloids (both saline 0,9% or Ringer Acetate or Lactate were allowed), administered in 10 minutes.
The Fluid challenge is administered by the attending physician to correct hemodynamic instability during the surgical procedure (see also eligibility).
All the patients received hemodynamic monitoring with the MostCare system which provides all the hemodynamic variables evaluated in the study before and after fluid challenge administration (cardiac output, stroke volume, arterial elastance, cardiac cycle efficiency)
All patients will receive an echocardiographic assessment before and after the FC including, tissue doppler waveforms (both right and left ventricle), mitral pattern assessment (includine E/e'; E/A waves analysis), Velocity time integral of aortic flow pattern (VTI) and VTI variations
Intervention code [1] 295976 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
The pulse pressure variation, a dynamic index of fluid responsiveness, has been considered as the gold standard. Pulse pressure variation was recorded during in operating room during the surgical procedure. Off line evaluation of PPV before and after the fluid challenge was the used as control treatment
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 299720 0
Aim of the present study is assessing whether a model including pulse pressure variation, cardiac cycle efficiency, arterial elastane and dicrotic pressure assessed by MostCare system, changes during a fluid challenge infusion anticipate its outcome, compared to the standard assessment.
Timepoint [1] 299720 0
single time point: the end of fluid challenge (duration 10 minutes)
Secondary outcome [1] 327945 0
The assessment of the area under the curve (AUC) of the predefined variables included in the model (pulse pressure variation, cardiac cycle efficiency, arterial elastane and dicrotic pressure)
Timepoint [1] 327945 0

Statistical methods / analysis
Normal distribution was evaluated by means of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. All the considered variables were averaged over one minute and average values were used for all comparisons. ROC curves (95% confidence interval, [CI]) were constructed for percent changes of PPV between baseline mean value vs. the response to the FC.
The variations of CCE and MAP- Pdic, Ea and SAP – Pdic were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA); for nonparametric data the Friedman test followed by Dunn multiple comparisons and for parametric data ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc tests adjusting for multiple comparisons were used. The Greenhouse-Geisser correction was used when sphericity could not be assumed.
We performed bivariate analyses using the t-test for quantitative variables and the chi-square test (or Fisher’s exact test, if indicated) for qualitative variables and constructed a bivariate logistic regression model. The model include, baseline PPV, the variation of CCE, Ea, MAP- Pdic, Ea and SAP – Pdic between baseline and the first minute measuring a variation statistically significant for DELTA_CCE, DELTA_MAP- Pdic, DELTA_Ea and DELTA_SAP – Pdic. A Hosmer & Lemeshow test was calculated to evaluate the model fit.
Statistical analyses were conducted using SPPS version 30.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL). For all comparisons, we considered significant p values < 0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
Background: Assessing preload dependence by means of static and dynamic indexes of fluid responsiveness is limited to a minority of critically ill and surgical patients. The lack in the sensitivity and specificity of these indexes in revealing fluid responsiveness before fluid challenge (FC) administration increases the risk of fluid overloading. Since, in responders and non-responders, the FC causes different hemodynamic effects in cardiac function and peripheral tone the outcome could be predicted before the entire infusion by dynamically assessing these variables.
Methods: 50 patients scheduled for elective abdominal surgery. The FC was administered to improve an episode of hemodynamic instability, and consisted in 500 ml of crystalloids in 10 minutes. A bivariate logistic regression mode was constructed to predict the outcome of the FC including baseline pulse pressure variation (PPV), and four different cardiovascular indexes provided by the MostCare.
Design: prospective multicentric study
