Evaluation of indexing pulse pressure variation during low tidal ventilation : An experimental pilot study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo reliably assess fluid responsiveness using pulse pressure variation (PPV), tidal volumes (VT) of at least 8 ml/kg of ideal bodyweight are recommended. This contrasts with the current recommendations for lung-protective mechanical ventilation, which advocate VTs between 6 and 8 ml/kg to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to analyze whether indexing PPV to certain ventilatory parameters can be a possibility for VT-independent assessment of fluid responsiveness during mechanical ventilation with lower tidal volumes. MATERIAL AND
methodsHemodynamic and ventilatory data were collected from eight anesthetized, paralyzed, intubated and mechanically ventilated pigs. Each animal was ventilated with four different VTs (4, 6, 8, and 12 ml/kg) during volume-controlled ventilation, across four intravascular fluid states: normovolemia; hypovolemia induced by bleeding and two stages of fluid resuscitation induced by retransfusion and additional fluid administration. The PPV values were indexed to various ventilatory parameters including VT, plateau pressure (Pplat) and driving pressure (∆P), as well as transpulmonary pressures and composite parameters, such as minute ventilation (MV), mechanical power and mechanical energy.
resultsIndexing PPV to MV (PPV/MV) resulted in values with the smallest variation across different VTs, followed by PPV/VT, PPV/Pplat and PPV/∆P. These indexed parameters exhibited high ratios of explained variance (R
conclusionIndexing PPV to MV can be a feasible way to use dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness across a wide spectrum of ventilator settings, such as during lung protective ventilation strategies involving lower tidal volumes. Future studies should evaluate the performance of the indexed parameters in guiding fluid therapy in the clinical setting and define thresholds.
