    • Abstract:
      Background: The capnodynamic method, based on Volumetric capnography and differential Fick mathematics, assess cardiac output in mechanically ventilated subjects. Capnodynamic and established hemodynamic monitoring parameters' capability to depict alterations in blood volume were investigated in a model of standardized hemorrhage, followed by crystalloid and blood transfusion. Methods: Ten anesthetized piglets were subjected to controlled hemorrhage (450 mL), followed by isovolemic crystalloid bolus and blood re‐transfusion. Intravascular blood volume, and all hemodynamic variables, were determined twice after each intervention. The investigated hemodynamic variables were: cardiac output and stroke volume for capnodynamics and pulse contour analysis, respectively, pulse pressure and stroke volume variability and mean arterial pressure. One‐way ANOVA and Tukey's test for multiple comparisons were used to identify significant changes. Trending was assessed by correlation and concordance. Result: Concordance against intravascular volume changes for capnodynamic cardiac output and stroke volume were 96 and 94%, with correlations r =.78 and.68, (p <.0001) with significant changes for 6 and 5 of the 6 measuring points, respectively. Mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure variation had a concordance of 85% and 87%, r =.67 (p <.0001) and r = −.45 (p <.0001), respectively, and both changed significantly for 3 of 6 measuring points. Pulse contour stroke volume variation, stroke volume and cardiac output, showed concordance and correlation of 76%, r = −.18 (p =.11), 63%, r =.28 (p =.01) and 50%, r =.31 (p =.007), respectively and significant change for 1, 1 and 0 of the measuring points, respectively. Conclusion: Capnodynamic cardiac output and stroke volume did best depict the changes in intravascular blood volume. Pulse contour parameters did not follow volume changes in a reliable way.
