NCT01456559

Brief Summary

The purpose with the planned study is to study Pleth Variability Index (PVI) as a non invasive indicator for mild hypovolemia during spontaneous breathing in healthy subjects. Lower body negative pressure (LBNP), a well established technique is used to create defined levels of hypovolemia. Primary hypothesis: By applying a breathing resistance (positive end expiratory pressure PEEP) to spontaneous breathing, the respiratory synchronous variation in the pulse oximeter signal (PVI) is enhanced and enables PVI to detect and grade the level of mild hypovolemia. Secondary hypothesis: 1) When tidal volume is increased, the respiratory synchronous variation in the pulse oximeter signal (PVI) will also increase. 2) The earlobe is superior to the finger in detecting PVI 3) Hemoglobin (Hb), detected non invasively by pulse oximetry, is not affected by hypovolemia created by LBNP

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pleth Variability Index (PVI)

    Primary endpoint: PVI at two different predefined levels of hypovolemia created by using lower negative body pressure, 40 and 15 mmHg, respectively.

    Participants will be followed only during the experimental study, 3 hours.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Pleth Variability Index (PVI)

    Participants will be followed only during the experiments, for 3 hours

  • SpHb

    Participants will be followed during the experiments, for 3 hours

Interventions

The purpose with the planned study is to study pleth variability index (PVI) as a non invasive indicator for mild hypovolemia during spontaneous breathing in healthy subjects. Lower body negative pressure (LBNP), a well established technique, is used to create defined levels of hypovolemia. Baseline data are recorded with the subjects in the supine position breathing with normal tidal volume without PEEP and without LBNP applied. Data are then recorded with LBNP applied in two steps (40 and 15 mmHg). Recordings are continued 5 minutes after releasing the negative pressure. Data are collected in total in four different series; normal tidal volume without PEEP; normal tidal volume with PEEP 5cm H2O; three doubled tidal volume without PEEP; three doubled tidal volume with PEEP 5 cm H20.
