ABSTRACT
(1) Background:
The inspiratory collapse of the inferior vena cava (IVC), a non-invasive surrogate for right atrial pressure, is often used to predict whether a patient will augment stroke volume (SV) in response to a preload challenge. There is a correlation between changing stroke volume (SV∆) and corrected flow time of the common carotid artery (ccFT∆). (2)Objective:
We studied the relationship between IVC collapsibility and ccFT∆ in healthy volunteers during preload challenges. (3)Methods:
A prospective, observational, pilot study in euvolemic, healthy volunteers with no cardiovascular history was undertaken in a local physiology lab. Using a tilt-table, we studied two degrees of preload augmentation from (a) supine to 30-degrees head-down and (b) fully-upright to 30-degrees head down. In the supine position, % of IVC collapse with respiration, sphericity index and portal vein pulsatility was calculated. The common carotid artery Doppler pulse was continuously captured using a wireless, wearable ultrasound system. (4)Results:
Fourteen subjects were included. IVC % collapse with respiration ranged between 10% and 84% across all subjects. Preload responsiveness was defined as an increase in ccFT∆ of at least 7 milliseconds. A total of 79% (supine baseline) and 100% (head-up baseline) of subjects were preload-responsive. No supine venous measures (including IVC % collapse) were significantly related to ccFT∆. (5)Conclusions:
From head-up baseline, 100% of healthy subjects were 'preload-responsive' as per the ccFT∆. Based on the 42% and 25% IVC collapse thresholds in the supine position, only 50% and 71% would have been labeled 'preload-responsive'.
