Comparing the stroke volume measured by TEB and SSD devices against the reference standard of TTE, the study found potential measurement errors in detecting hypovolaemia, cautioning against their interpretation in clinical practice.
Introduction Haemorrhage is a leading cause of death following traumatic injury and the early detection of hypovolaemia is critical to effective management. However, accurate assessment of circulating blood volume is challenging when using traditional vital signs such as blood pressure. We conducted a study to compare the stroke volume (SV) recorded using two devices, trans-thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) and supra-sternal Doppler (SSD), against a reference standard using trans- thoracic echocardiography (TTE). Methods A lower body negative pressure (LBNP) model was used to simulate hypovolaemia and in half of the study sessions lower limb tourniquets were applied as these are common in military practice and can potentially affect some haemodynamic monitoring systems. In order to provide a clinically relevant comparison we constructed an error grid alongside more traditional measures of agreement. Results 21 healthy volunteers aged 18-40 were enrolled and underwent 2 sessions of LBNP, with and without lower limb tourniquets. With respect to absolute SV values Bland Altman analysis showed significant bias in both non-tourniquet and tourniquet strands for TEB (-42.5 / -49.6 ml), rendering further analysis impossible. For SSD bias was minimal but percentage error was unacceptably high (35% / 48%). Degree of agreement for dynamic change in SV, assessed using 4 quadrant plots showed a seemingly acceptable concordance rate for both TEB (86% / 93%) and SSD (90% / 91%). However, when results were plotted on an error grid, constructed based on expert clinical opinion, a significant minority of measurement errors were identified that had potential to lead to moderate or severe patient harm. Conclusion Thoracic bioimpedance and suprasternal Doppler both demonstrated measurement errors that had the potential to lead to clinical harm and caution should be applied in interpreting the results in the detection of early hypovolaemia following traumatic injury.
