Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the value of corrected carotid flow time (FTc) with passive leg raise (PLR) as a non-invasive marker of volume status in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. METHODS: Prospective observational study of ESRD patients presenting to the Emergency department requiring hemodialysis. The common carotid artery was evaluated in long axis. Flow time measurements pre- and post-dialysis as well as before and after PLR were recorded. RESULTS: 54 patients were enrolled, of which, 30 (55%) were male. The mean age was 47.4 years. The mean volume of fluid removed was 3.89 ± 0.91 L. In the pre-dialysis cohort, the mean FTc was 340.16 ms (95% CI, 330.36-349.95). Following PLR, the mean FTc was 341.34 ms (95% CI 331.74-350.94). In the post hemodialysis cohort, the mean FTc was 302.48 ms (95% CI, 293.63-311.32). Following the PLR maneuver, the mean FTc was 340.49 ms (95% CI 331.97-349.02). The mean decrease in corrected carotid flow time was 19.15 ms (95% CI, 22.86-41.17), 32.02 ms (95% CI 4.05-34.25) and 41.17 ms (95% CI, 36.47-54.76) for patients who had <3 L, 3-4 L and >4 L removed, respectively. In patients without CHF, the mean decrease in FTc after hemodialysis was 38.80 ms (95% CI, 30.12-47.49) whereas for CHF patients the mean decrease was 35.60 ms (95% CI, 25.05-46.15). CONCLUSION: Corrected flow time in conjunction with passive leg raise seem to correlate with volume status in hemodialysis patients.
