NCT03589261

Brief Summary

Hepatic artery and portal flows are both regulated to assume the whole hepatic blood flow. Each counts for respectively 25% and 75%. That so-called "buffer response" assumes that when portal flow increases, hepatic artery flow decreases. During fluid challenge in intensive care unit, fluid challenge is often administered to improve hepatic perfusion. That observation is not demonstrated. The aim of the study is to test buffer response and portal flow during fluid challenge.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Portal blood flow measure before and after fluid challenge

    Fluid challenge will be performed with 500 ml of intra venous NaCl (0.9%). Hepatic blood flow measurement will be performed using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

    Two hours: the difference in hepatic portal flow before and after a volume expansion of 500 ml NaCl 0.9%.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Hepatic artery blood flow measure before and after fluid challenge

    Two hours

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Flow ratio of portal flow on hepatic artery flow

    Two hours

Study Arms (1)

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)

OTHER

Hepatic blood flow baseline will be measured using MRI. Fluid challenge of 500 ml of NaCl 0.9% will be administered during 10 minutes. Before and After fluid challenge, MRI will be performed to compare flow changes.

Device: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)

Interventions

Fluid challenge will be performed with 500 ml of intra venous NaCl (0.9%). Hepatic blood flow measurement will be performed using MRI.

Also known as: 500 ml of intra venous NaCl (0.9%).
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
