Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
A circulatory collapse (also called acute circulatory failure) is defined as a general or specific failure of the circulation. Although the mechanisms, causes and clinical syndromes are different, the effect is the same — the circulatory system fails to maintain the supply of oxygen and other nutrients to the tissues and to remove the carbon dioxide and other metabolites from them.
The aim of the study is to evaluate a noninvasive device to assess which patient will benefit to treat shock with intravenous fluids.

Who can participate?
Adults over 18 years, with acute circulatory failure.

What does the study involve?
The study involves measurements of common vital signs and a change of position in the bed that will drain the blood from the legs simulating the administration of intravenous fluids. The study does not involve the administration of drugs or experimental interventions

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
None

Where is the study run from?
Hospital Angeles Tijuana (Mexico)

Scientific titleChanges in the plethysmographic perfusion index to detect fluid responsiveness in spontaneously ventilated patients
Study objectivesChanges in perfusion index accurately detect fluid responsiveness using a passive leg raising test in spontaneously ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 03/26/2021, Ethics and Research Committee of Hospital Angeles Tijuana (Operadora de Hospitales Angeles SA de CV, Paseo de los Héroes No 10999, Zona Urbana Río, Tijuana, Mexico; no telephone number provided; drclementezuniga@gmail.com), ref: none
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPatients with acute circulatory failure
InterventionBaseline data will be collected from all patients in a semi-fowler position (head between 30-35°). Which include demographic characteristics and hemodynamic measurements (changes in perfusion index and velocity integral time by transthoracic echocardiography). Subsequently, the passive leg elevation raising maneuver will be performed. After 2 minutes, when the maneuver produces its maximum effect on CO, another set of hemodynamic measurements will be taken. Afterward, the patient is returned to the initial semifowler position and after hemodynamic stabilization (2 minutes), the third set of hemodynamic measurements will be performed.
Intervention typeBehavioural
Primary outcome measurePerfusion index and velocity integral time will be measure at baseline (time 0), after a passive leg-raising maneuver (time 1), and semi-fowler position after 2 minutes (time 2).
(The changes of the (perfusion index) PI and (velocity integral time) VTI will be represented in relative changes:
[PI before the maneuver (time 0) - PI after the maneuver (time 1)] / PI before the maneuver (time 0) x 100
and, [VTI before the maneuver (time 0) - VTI after the maneuver (time 1)] / IVT before the maneuver (time 0) x 100 respectively. A passive leg-raising maneuver will be defined as positive when an increase in VTI greater than or equal to 15%.)
Secondary outcome measuresThere are no secondary outcome measures
