However, artificial attainment of this level of oxygen delivery (1) is extremely difficult and (2) requires excessive volume expansion. Results of clinical trials randomizing critically ill patients to supra-normal oxygen delivery have not demonstrated improved outcomes, and have observed an increased risk of pulmonary edema, intestinal ischemia, and ambominal compartment syndrome.

This distinction can be made by calculating the lactate to pyruvate ratio, which is high in Type A lactic acidosis and normal in Type B lactic acidosis.
clearance. Disadvantages include lack of specificity. One common problem is that of non-anion gap, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Specifically, volume expansion with chloride rich fluid results in hyperchloremia and, to maintain electroneutrality, excretion of bicarbonate. A non-anion gap metabolic acidosis ensues, which can be misinterpreted as worsening shock. The incorrect reaction is to give more chloride-rich fluid, exacerbating the problem. Avoid this trap by obtaining a serum chloride concentration and calculating an anion gap on every patient with a metabolic acidosis [see also Chapter 7-(v)].

Review of Current Literature with References
Kern et al. conducted a meta-analysis of 21 randomized trials comparing
goal-directed therapy to conventional management of patients in shock. The majority of studies involved optimization of PAOP, cardiac output, and DO2 to either normal or supranormal levels. A benefit to such therapy was observed only among those studies that maximized DO2 either before or early after the onset of organ dysfunction (Crit Care Med 2002; 30: 1686).
The largest individual trial of crystalloid vs. colloid is the Saline versus
Albumin Fluid Evaluation (SAFE) study, which randomized nearly 7,000 critically ill patients to resuscitation with either 4% albumin or saline. Mortality, organ failure, and length of stay were equivalent between groups.
120 F. M. Pieracci
A priori subgroup analyses revealed a trend toward an increased mortality for the albumin as compared to the saline group among trauma patients (13.6% vs 10.0%, respectively, P ¼ .06) and a decreased mortality among patients with severe sepsis (30.7% vs 35.3%, respectively, P ¼ .09). However, reduced statistical power in these subgroup analyses precluded meaningful interpretation (New Engl J Med 2004; 305: 2247).

The relationship between left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV),
commonly termed preload, and stroke volume (SV) is described by the Starling Curve (Fig. 1).
Preload responsiveness refers to the ability of an increase in LVEDV to result
in a clinically meaningful increase in SV. A clinically meaningful increase in generally considered to be ≥10%.
Achievement of a clinically meaningful increase in SV is the fundamental
intention of volume expansion of critically ill patients in shock. Volume administration that does not result in a clinically meaningful increase in SV provides no benefit in terms of increasing cardiac output (and ultimately oxygen delivery), and exposes the patient to the deleterious effects of overzealous fluid administration.

Many ICU variables are routinely misused as measurements of preload
responsiveness, when in fact they provide no such information. These include heart rate, blood pressure, and urine output.
Measurements of preload responsiveness may be divided into static and
dynamic.
Static measurements of preload responsiveness provide a point-in-time
estimation of LVEDV. These measurements are then used to predict if volume expansion will result in a clinically meaningful increase in SV. Although most static variables measure pressure as a surrogate for volume, it is possible to measure LVEDV directly using echocardiography (Chapter 13). Commonly used static measurements of preload responsive­ness include the central venous pressure (CVP) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP).
Whereas static measurements predict preload responsiveness, dynamic
measurements actually measure it. This measurement is done by exploiting natural changes in LVEDV that occur during respiration (either spontaneous or while ventilated), and their corresponding effects on SV or its surrogates. Commonly used examples of dynamic measurements of preload responsive­ness include stroke volume variation (SVV), systolic blood pressure variation (SPV), and pulse pressure variation (PPV). For any of these variables, res­piratory variation of 12% predicts preload responsiveness with a high degree of accuracy.
Multiple comparative studies have documented the superiority of dynamic
measurements over static measurements of preload responsiveness. A basic understanding of Starling Curve physiology explains this discrepancy. In addition to improved accuracy, dynamic measurements are also generally less invasive, and able to predict preload responsiveness prior to fluid administration.
Clinical situations in which the accuracy of dynamic measurements of preload
responsiveness may be compromised include cardiac dysrhythmias and venti­lator dysynchrony. In these cases, a modified “preload challenge,” achieved by either passive leg raise (PLR) or exogenous fluid administration, may be employed to determine an accurate measurement of preload responsiveness.
Despite strong evidence documenting superiority, dynamic measurements of
preload responsiveness are still employed infrequently in ICUs, mostly because of unfamiliarity. However, the prevalence of these techniques has increased, and they are now included in several professional organizations’ recommendations, including the most recent Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines.
Measurements of Preload Responsiveness 123
Background
The extremes of intravascular volume are equally deleterious. Hypovolemia
results in impaired tissue perfusion due to decreased cardiac output. However, hypervolemia also results in decreased tissue perfusion due to increased hydrostatic pressures within tissues (resulting in increased afterload), and organ dysfunction from tissue edema.
Volume expansion of critically ill patients is exceedingly common. The
average critically ill patient is 2–4 L positive each day.
A positive fluid balance correlates linearly with mortality among ICU patients.
Common, organ-specific sequellea of overzealous volume expansion include
worsening intra-cranial hypertension in patients with traumatic brain injury [Chapter 4-(ii)], worsening gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury [Chapter 6-(v)], and intra-abdominal hypertension [Chapter 8-(vii)].
On the most fundamental level, the purpose of volume expansion is to
improve oxygen delivery to tissues by increasing cardiac output, which is in turn increased by increasing stroke volume, that is then increased by increasing preload (assuming preload responsiveness) [Chapter 5-(i)].
It may be extrapolated from the previous point that volume expansion will be
useful only if (1) there is evidence of impaired tissue perfusion and (2) an increase in preload will result in a clinically meaningful increase in SV.
Unfortunately, many studies have reported that only about 50% of patients
who are considered to be preload responsive, and therefore receive a fluid bolus, actually realize a clinically meaningful increase in SV. Therefore, the other half of patients was exposed to the risks of volume expansion without any benefit.
As a result of the deleterious effects of overzealous volume expansion, it is
imperative to utilize tests that estimate preload responsiveness with a high degree of accuracy, thereby minimizing the likelihood of unnecessary fluid administration.
Main Body
According to the Starling Curve (Fig. 1), increases in preload have variable
effects on SV depending on the baseline preload; whereas a low baseline preload corresponds to a large increase in SV following volume expansion, a high baseline preload results in no increase in SV following volume expansion.

Every patient’s Starling Curve is different. Furthermore, multiple Starling
Curves exist within any individual patient; both the slope and position of the curve are affected by changes in cardiac dynamics, vasopressor requirements, and afterload, among other variables.
Most static measurements of preload responsiveness attempt to estimate base-
line preload by using pressure as a surrogate for volume. This strategy is problematic for several reasons:
Intravascular pressure is affected by multiple other variables besides
preload, including intra-thoracic pressure, intra-abdominal pressure, and intra-cranial pressure.
The intravascular pressure within more proximal structures is used to
estimate left ventricular end diastolic pressure; superior vena caval/right atrial pressure in the case of CVP and pulmonary capillary pressure in the case of PCWP. This accuracy of this estimation is decreased in the setting of any mechanical abnormality between the two structures (e.g., valvular disease).
Even when pressure is a reliable surrogate for volume, a static measurement
provides no information about (1) the patient’s current Starling Curve and (2) the baseline preload location on that curve. This is the fundamental limitation of static measurements. For example, a CVP of two may correspond to any baseline preload location on any of the curves shown in Fig. 1. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 1, the same baseline preload (A) results in a markedly different response in SV following volume expansion depending on the underlying Starling Curve (a to b vs. a' to b'). This limitation holds true even at the extremes of preload estimation (e.g., CVP of 1 or CVP of 20), as well as when using trends as opposed to absolute values.
Static measurements typically are invasive, requiring a central venous catheter
in the case of CVP, and a pulmonary artery catheter in the case of PCWP.
These theoretical limitations of static measurements have been borne out by
outcomes data (see Review of Current Literature section): multiple publica- tions have documented the inability of both the CVP and PCWP to predict preload responsiveness in a variety of clinic scenarios, even when accounting specifically for both extreme values and trends.
In contrast to static measurements, dynamic measurements of preload
responsiveness estimate on which portion of the Starling Curve a patient is

currently operating. They are therefore able to predict preload respon­siveness with a high degree of accuracy.
All variations of dynamic measurements exploit inherent respiratory-
mediated changes in both preload and corresponding SV. These natural vari­ations are summarized in Fig. 2.
Patients who are operating on the steep (preload responsive) portion of the
Starling Curve demonstrate exaggerated respiratory variation in SV, and thus both cardiac output and blood pressure.
A respiratory variation in stroke volume (SVV), systolic blood pressure
(SPV), and pulse pressure (PPV) of 12% has been found to be highly accu­rate for predicting a clinically meaningful increase in SV following volume expansion.
The value of 12% corresponds to the maximum value minus the minimum
value, and divided by their average. In the case of SPV:
SPV = (SPV

This value would not suggest preload responsiveness.
Both the SPV and PPV can be measured accurately in mechanically venti-
lated patients with a functional arterial catheter in place (Chapter 15).
Measurement of SVV requires a specialized catheter that uses arterial pulse
contour analysis to provide both SVV and continuous cardiac output. This is advantageous as (1) measurement of cardiac output helps differentiate the various etiologies of shock [Chapter 5-(ii)] and (2) the effect of volume expansion on cardiac output may be assessed real time. These devices are commercially available from multiple vendors.
In addition to improved accuracy for predicting preload responsiveness,
dynamic measurements have the following advantages over static measurements:
They are less invasive, requiring only a functional arterial line as opposed
to a central venous catheter.
They predict preload responsiveness prior to giving a fl uid bolus, such
that unnecessary volume expansion is avoided.
The measurement is continuous, such that a response to volume expansion
may be accessed real-time.

Multiple publications have demonstrated high accuracy for predicting preload
responsiveness for SPV, PPV, and SVV, with a receiver operator characteristic area under the curve in the 0.85 range.
The accuracy of dynamic measurements of preload responsiveness is limited
in the presence of either cardiac arrhythmias or ventilator dysynchrony. In these cases, either the systolic blood pressure (SBP) or SV (most commer­cially available devices also provide continuous measurement of SV) may be exploited to determine preload responsiveness. First, the baseline SV is noted. Volume expansion using 10 cc/kg is then given. The SV measurement is again noted. A change in SV of 10% is considered preload responsive, and the volume expansion is repeated until either (1) the patient is no longer in shock or (2) the change in SV is <10%.
A PLR may be used in place of the exogenous fluid bolus in order
to avoid a potentially unnecessary volume expansion. This maneuver, shown in Fig. 3, involves tilting the patient in order to return venous blood pooled in the lower extremities into the cardiac circulation. Studies have shown that a PLR results in approximately 250–500 mL of venous blood return in a 70 kg patient. Thus, in order to determine preload responsiveness in a patient with either cardiac arrhythmia or ventilator dysynchrony, the SV or SBP is noted, a PLR is performed, and the SV or SBP is repeated. A change of 10% suggests preload responsiveness. Note that in this example, no fluid bolus is necessary to determine preload responsiveness.
These relatively non-invasive measurements should be performed in all criti-
cally ill patients when volume expansion is being considered (e.g., hypotension, oliguria, tachycardia). Current data suggest that only one half of these patients will demonstrate evidence of preload responsiveness. In this case, utilization of dynamic measurements not only avoids unnecessary volume expansion, but also expedites the search for other sources of the original derangement (e.g., blunt cardiac injury as a cause of tachycardia, or acute tubular necrosis as a cause of oliguria).

Practical Algorithm(s)/Diagrams
Fig. 1. The starling curve.
The Starling Curve depicts the relationship between cardiac preload (x axis) and stroke volume (SV, y axis). The curve begins at its steepest, wherein small changes in preload corresponding to large changes in SV. It then begins to flatten exponentially, such that further increases in preload achieve smaller corresponding increases in SV. Finally, the curve becomes flat; over this range, further increases in preload result in no increase in SV. In this graph, a family of Starling Curves is shown, reflecting the heterogeneity of curves both between and among critically ill patients. As can be seen in the graph, an identical volume expansion (from A to B) results in a drastically different effect on SV depending on the curve (from a to b on the bottom curve, as opposed to from a' to b' on the top curve). In this case, the static measurement A would be unable to predict the effect of volume expansion without knowing under which Starling Curve the patient is operating.
