Summary

The goal of this study is to assess the ability of a new smartphone PPV app to predict fluid responsiveness in cardiac surgical patients in the Intensive care unit (in the postoperative period)

Detailed description

Pulse pressure variation (PPV) remains a good predictor of fluid responsiveness in the ICU in ventilated and sedated patients. However, PPV can be time-consuming to calculate (manual determination), is not always displayed on monitoring screens nor reliable through visual assessment and needs additional often costly devices to be displayed. A new Android application (Captesia) automatically calculates the PPV utilizing a digital photograph of the arterial waveform from the monitor. The application determines the PPV by selecting peaks and troughs of the arterial curve.

Conditions

• Surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	PPV from the capstesia	we will challenge the application by doing 2 maneuvers: the first one is to increase the PEEP level from 5 to 15 cmH2O and the second one is the infusion of a mini-fluid challenge (100 ml) followed by the other 400 ml.
