Objective To evaluate the value of stroke volume variation (SVV) and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated septic shock patients with spontaneous breathing. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Fluid resuscitation data was collected in septic shock patients who received PiCCO monitoring from June 2013 to June 2014. Transpulmonary thermodilution data were collected before and after fluid resuscitation, including cardiac index (CI), SVV, ITBVI, and central venous pressure (CVP). Seventeen patients were defined as responders by an observed increase of≥15% in the cardiac index (CI) after fluid resuscitation, 12 patients were defined as non-responders. Pearson correlation between changes of CI (ΔCI) and SVV, ITBVI, CVP was established. Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of SVV, ITBVI and CVP was calculated for predicting fluid responsiveness. Results Baseline CI and ITBVI were significantly lower in the responders (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in baseline SVV between the responders and the non-responders (P > 0.05). A significant correlation was found between baseline ITBVI andΔCI (r=-0.593, P < 0.001), but no significant correlation between SVV andΔCI (r=0.037, P=0.847) or CVP andΔCI (r=0.198, P=0.302). The area under ROC curve of SVV, ITBVI and SVV for predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.640 (P=0.207), 0.865 (P=0.001), and 0.463 (P=0.565), respectively. The cut-off value of ITBVI for predicting fluid responsiveness was 784 mL/m2 with a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 70.6%. Conclusion In mechanically ventilated septic shock patients with spontaneous breathing, ITBVI may be a valuable indicator in predicting fluid responsiveness compared with SVV.
