Q: Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) - an indicator of intravascular volume responsiveness is an unreliable indicator in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH)? (select one)
A) True
B) False
Answer: B
Pulse pressure is simply a difference between the systolic and the diastolic arterial blood pressure. Variation in pulse pressure (PPV) averaged over three or more breaths can be calculated by the formula
PPV = 100 x (PPmax – PPmin)/PPmean
Many commercially available devices calculate it when an arterial line is present. PPV of 10 to 15 percent is found to be strongly associated with volume responsiveness, particularly in mechanically ventilated patients.
It was postulated that raised IAH will distort PPV and will not be a reliable indicator of volume responsiveness in an intravascularly "dry" patient. But, studies have shown that PPV stays reliable despite IAH.
