P>The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of stroke volume variation (SVV) as measured by the LiDCOplus system (SVVli) and by the FloTrac-Vigileo system (SVVed). We measured SVVli and SVVed in 15 postoperative cardiac surgical patients following five study interventions; a 50% increase in tidal volume, an increase of PEEP by 10 cm H2O, passive leg raising, a head-up tilt procedure and fluid loading. Between each intervention, baseline measurements were performed. 136 data pairs were obtained. SVVli ranged from 1.4% to 26.8% (mean (SD) 8.7 (4.6)%); SVVed from 2.0% to 26.0% (10.2 (4.7)%). The bias was found to be significantly different from zero at 1.5 (2.5)%, p < 0.001, (95% confidence interval 1.1-1.9). The upper and lower limits of agreement were found to be 6.4 and -3.5% respectively. The coefficient of variation for the differences between SVVli and SVVed was 26%. This results in a relative large range for the percentage limits of agreement of 52%. Analysis in repeated measures showed coefficients of variation of 21% for SVVli and 22% for SVVed. The LiDCOplus and FloTrac-Vigileo system are not interchangeable. Furthermore, the determination of SVVli and SVVed are too ambiguous, as can be concluded from the high values of the coefficient of variation for repeated measures. These findings underline Pinsky's warning of caution in the clinical use of SVV by pulse contour techniques.
