REBEL Cast Ep116: The CLOVERS Trial – Restrictive vs Liberal Fluids in Sepsis-Induced Hypotension

RebelEM

These patients can have a vasodilated vascular bed and the initial use of fluids is hypothesized to serve two purposes: Augmenting the macrovascular system (stroke volume and cardiac output) and augmenting the microvascular perfusion (capillary blood flow). Early Restrictive or Liberal Fluid Management for Sepsis-Induced Hypotension.

ICU Physiology in 1000 Words: Phenylephrine Pushes & Stroke Volume

PulmCCM

To focus matters, the hemodynamic variable under consideration is the stroke volume [SV]; in other words, how does a push of phenylephrine affect SV? ’ Diminished stroke volume? evaluated phenylephrine in 7 critically-ill patients with ‘hyperdynamic’ sepsis [defined as sepsis with CO above 6.0

What Minimal Volume of Intravenous Fluid Challenges the Heart?

PulmCCM

For example, should a fluid challenge fail to raise stroke volume [SV], a state of physiological preload intolerance exists and additional volume is arguably harmful ; further attempts to increase tissue perfusion might then be best achieved with vasoactives. .’ Download his free textbook here.

The slope of Ea is measured as the end-systolic pressure [Pes] relative to the stroke volume [SV]. Pes is end-systolic pressure, Ees is end-systolic elastance, ESV is end-systolic volume, SV is stroke volume, EDV is end-diastolic volume, EDPVR is end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship.
