    BackgroundThis study was aimed to evaluate the ability of left ventricular end-diastolic volume variations (LVEDVV) measured by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) compared with stroke volume variation (SVV) obtained by the FloTrac/Vigileo monitor to predict fluid responsiveness, in patients undergoing craniotomy with goal direct therapy.MethodsWe used SVV obtained by the FloTrac/Vigileo monitor to manage intraoperative hypotension in adult patients undergoing craniotomy (ASA III - IV) after obtaining IRB approval and informed consent. The LVEDVV were measured by TEE through the changes of left ventricular short diameter of axle simultaneously. When cardiac index (CI) ≤ 2.5 and SVV ≥ 15%, comparisons were made between the two devices before and after volume expansion.ResultsWe enrolled twenty-six patients referred for craniotomy in this study and 145 pairs of data were obtained. Mean Vigileo-SVV and TEE-LVEDVV were 17.8 ± 2.78% and 22.1 ± 7.25% before volume expansion respectively, and were 10.95 ± 2.8% and 13.58 ± 3.78% after volume expansion respectively (P < 0.001). The relationship between Vigileo-SVV and TEE-LVEDVV was significant (r2 = 0.55; p < 0.001). Agreement between Vigileo-SVV and TEE-LVEDVV was 3.3% ± 3.9% (mean bias ± SD, Bland-Altman).ConclusionsFor fluid responsiveness of patients during craniotomy in ASA III-IV, LVEDVV measured by left ventricular short diameter of axle using M type echocaidiographic measurement seems an acceptable monitoring indicator. This accessible method has promising clinical applications in situations where volume and cardiac function monitoring is of great importance during surgery.Trial RegistrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-TRC-13003583 , August 20, 2013.
