Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Fluids are frequently given to patients who have undergone cardiac surgery to improve their circulation. However, only 50% of patients respond to fluid administration and it is not easily to predict which patient will be a "fluid-responder". To make matters worse, giving too little or too much fluid can have harmful effects. The variation in the arterial blood pressure caused by mechanical ventilation has shown to help in the prediction of "fluid-responsiveness". More simply put; if the arterial blood pressure shows a marked change during inspiration (breathing in) and expiration (breathing out), this could indicate a relative underfilling of the circulation (i.e. less fluid in the circulation) and the patient is more likely to respond to fluid administration, where if the arterial blood pressure would remain unaltered this would likely not be the case. However, a good functioning arterial catheter is necessary to detect these changes. We want to find out if changes in the "venous blood pressure" induced by mechanical ventilation is also a good predictor of "fluid-responsiveness", which requires a central venous catheter.

Who can participate?
Cardiac surgery patients treated in intensive care and mechanically ventilated.

What does the study involve?
Patients who have undergone cardiac surgery are standard equipped with an arterial and central venous catheter and therefore we can investigate in this patient group if the venous blood pressure variations can predict the response upon a fluid administration of 500cc compared to the arterial blood pressure variation. If so, then physicians have another tool to guide patient-tailored fluid administration. Besides from the administration of 500cc of fluids, no additional interventions are performed in this study other than standard care after surgery.
