Theresa, in theory all of these would have value for assessing perfusion. I don’t believe any have been proven for sepsis.
SVI (stroke volume index), SVV (SV variability) and PPV (pulse pressure variability). The first two you need a CO monitor that last one is often built into the vital signs monitor or the CO monitor. or did i missed the question asked. g On Sep 24, 2015, at 11:42 AM, Posani, Theresa <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: <image001.gif> Anyone using SVI with their sepsis patients regarding fluid resuscitation/management? Do you have protocols that you would share? How long or what are the stopping points to the use of SVI for fluid resuscitation/management? Are you using 250, 500, or 1000 ml? and how often?
