Abstract

Objectives: To determine the effects of passive leg raising (PLR) on hemodynamics and on cardiac function according to the preload dependency defined by the superior vena cava collapsibility index (ΔSVC). Results: Forty patients with shock, sedated and mechanically ventilated, were included. Transesophageal echocardiography was performed. At baseline (T1), two groups were defined according to ΔSVC. Eighteen patients presenting a ΔSVC > 36%, an indicator of preload dependency, formed group 1, whereas 22 patients (group 2) exhibited a ΔSVC < 30% (not preload-dependent). Measurements were then performed during PLR (T2), back to baseline (T3), and after volume expansion (T4) in group 1 only. At T1, ΔSVC was significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2, 50 ± 9% and 7 ± 6%, respectively. In group 1, we found a decrease in ΔSVC at T2 (24 ± 9%) and T4 (17 ± 7%), associated with increased systolic, diastolic and arterial pulse pressures. Cardiac index also increased, from 1.92 ± 0.74 (T1) to 2.35 ± 0.92 (T2) and 2.85 ± 1.2 l/min/m2 (T4) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume from 51 ± 41 to 61 ± 51 and 73 ± 51 ml/m2. None of these variations was found in group 2. No change in heart rate was observed. Conclusion: Hemodynamic changes related to PLR were only induced by increased cardiac preload. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
