Using carotid doppler peak velocity to predict fluid responsiveness during major abdominal surgery
Assessing Respiratory Variation of Carotid Doppler Peak Velocity (CDPV) for Non-invasive Prediction of Fluid Responsiveness During Abdominal Surgery: a Prospective Observational Trial
This study is testing if measuring changes in blood flow in the carotid artery can help doctors decide how much fluid patients with septic shock need during major abdominal surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the respiratory variation of carotid doppler peak velocity (∆CDPV) as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. It will involve 84 patients scheduled for surgery, assessing how well ∆CDPV performs compared to established parameters like pulse pressure variation (∆PP) and corrected flow time (fTc). The study is particularly focused on patients with septic shock and aims to provide insights into hemodynamic monitoring during surgery. The findings could enhance the understanding of fluid management in surgical settings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-80 scheduled for major abdominal surgery.
Not a fit: Patients with severe comorbidities such as significant cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, or severe lung disease may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve fluid management during major surgeries, leading to better patient outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that ∆CDPV can predict fluid responsiveness effectively, but this approach is still being evaluated in broader surgical contexts.
