OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether respiratory variations in aortic blood flow velocity (DeltaVpeak ao), systolic arterial pressure (DeltaPS) and pulse pressure (DeltaPP) could accurately predict fluid responsiveness in ventilated children. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective study in a 18-bed pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Twenty-six children [median age 28.5 (16-44) months] with preserved left ventricular (LV) function. INTERVENTION: Standardized volume expansion (VE). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Analysis of aortic blood flow by transthoracic pulsed-Doppler allowed LV stroke volume measurement and on-line DeltaVpeak ao calculation. The VE-induced increase in LV stroke volume was >15% in 18 patients (responders) and <15% in 8 (non-responders). Before VE, the DeltaVpeak ao in responders was higher than that in non-responders [19% (12.1-26.3) vs. 9% (7.3-11.8), p=0.001], whereas DeltaPP and DeltaPS did not significantly differ between groups. The prediction of fluid responsiveness was higher with DeltaVpeak ao [ROC curve area 0.85 (95% IC 0.99-1.8), p=0.001] than with DeltaPS (0.64) or DeltaPP (0.59). The best cut-off for DeltaVpeak ao was 12%, with sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 81.2%, 85.7%, 93% and 66.6%, respectively. A positive linear correlation was found between baseline DeltaVpeak ao and VE-induced gain in stroke volume (rho=0.68, p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: While respiratory variations in aortic blood flow velocity measured by pulsed Doppler before VE accurately predict the effects of VE, DeltaPS and DeltaPP are of little value in ventilated children.
