Breaking Study: Masimo Pleth Variability Index (PVI) Shown Effective in Noninvasive Detection of Changes in Ventricular Preload and Fluid Volume
Date:10/15/2007

ead-up positions. Researchers stated, this study is the "first to demonstrate the ability of PVI, an index automatically derived from the pulse oximeter waveform analysis, to detect changes in ventricular preload. This new index has potential clinical applications for noninvasive hypovolemia detection and fluid responsiveness monitoring."(1)

"Fluid management optimization in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing anesthesia is of major importance since it may have clinical and economical impact," Dr. Cannesson stated. "Indicators of response to volume expansion relying on cardio-pulmonary interactions are the best predictors of fluid responsiveness. Ideally, continuous noninvasive monitoring of these parameters would provide valuable information to clinicians in caring for mechanically ventilated patients. Masimo's new derived index, PVI, appears to offer such a continuous, noninvasive monitor."

Masimo PVI is a unique new measurement featured in the Masimo Rainbow SET technology platform that quantifies changes in perfusion index. PVI displays a numeric representation of the changes as a percentage on the Rainbow SET oximeter, thus allowing clinicians to track and trend these changes over time. A rising PVI may indicate developing hypovolemia (an abnormally low volume of blood circulating through the body) and a falling PVI post-fluid resuscitation is evidence of an appropriate fluid responsiveness. This trending may aid in determining appropriate intervention for patients experiencing physiologic changes in fluid volume and cardiac function, leading to better patient outcomes.

Appropriate fluid levels are vital to reducing postoperative risks and improving patient outcomes as fluid volumes that are too low (under hydration) or too high (over hydration) have been shown to decrease wound healing, increase risk of infection and cardiac complications. In extreme cases, severe hypovolemia can lead to hypovolemic shock as peripheral circulation shu
