  • Page 9 General Information A General Information Intended Use The PULSION PiCCO ´s intended use is the minimally invasive determination and monitoring of cardiopulmonary and circulatory variables. Along with other bedside monitors and the clinical evaluation, the PiCCO detects the patient´s status and evaluates the need for and the suitability of treatment methods for the care of critically ill patients in intensive care units as well as for perioperative monitoring.
  • Page 10: A General Information

    General Information Contraindications The invasive technologies in the PiCCO should not be used in patients where the placement of an indwelling arterial catheter or a central venous catheter is contraindicated. The PiCCO should only be used in patients where the expected results are reasonable in comparison to the risks. Patients on intra-aortic balloon counter pulsation (IABP) cannot be monitored with the pulse contour analysis of the device.
  • Page 11: Warnings

    PULSION Medical Systems may be used with the PiCCO Explosion hazard when used in the presence of flammable anesthetics. For safety of operation, only memory sticks and printers approved by PULSION Medical Systems may be used with the PiCCO Positioning / Installation: Position the equipment in such a manner that neither the device nor other equipment attached to the device can fall on the patient.
  • Page 12 General Information If an alarm condition arises while the alarm is suppressed, only the optical warning will be given. During the start up procedure an acoustic sound appears at the end of the activation time. If this sound does not appear no acoustic alarm can take place. External influences: carboxyhaemoglobin can result in incorrect high values for SpO .
  • Page 13: Safety Instructions

    The user must assure him-/herself of the safe and fully functional condition of the equipment before using If the PiCCO appears to be damaged, contact your local PULSION representative. Do not use the PiCCO if the device appears to be damaged.
  • Page 14 General Information Recalibration is recommended with significant changes in haemodynamic conditions, such as volume shifts or changes to medication. If the option of the continuous CVP measurement is not used, CVP should be updated as soon as a new value is obtained to accurately calculate SVR and PCCO. Faulty measurements can be caused by incorrectly placed catheters, interfering signal transmission e.g.
  • Page 15: B Principles Of Measurement And Parameters

    The PULSION PiCCO computes the CO continuously, utilizing an improved arterial pulse contour analysis algorithm. The Pulse Contour Cardiac Output (PCCO) is calibrated by means of a transpulmonary thermodilution measurement.
  • Page 16: Transpulmonary Thermodilution Technique

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters Transpulmonary Thermodilution Technique Principle To accomplish thermodilution determination a known volume of a suitable indicator (at least 10°C below blood temperature) is injected intravenously as quickly as possible. The recorded downstream temperature change is dependent on the flow and the volume through which the cold indicator has passed. As a result, a thermodilution curve can be recorded.
  • Page 17: Transpulmonary Volume Determination

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters Transpulmonary volume determination Specific volumes can be calculated by multiplying cardiac output with characteristic time variables of the thermodilution curve. The parameters can alternatively be displayed as absolute parameters or indexed to the patient´s body characteristics.
  • Page 18: Additional Thermodilution Parameters

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters 2.3.2 EVLW EVLW quantifies the extravascular fluid volume in the lungs. It is used to alert the clinician to the existence or development of pulmonary edema. When measuring lung water the intra-alveolar, intracellular and interstitial lung water are considered.
  • Page 19: Continuous Pulse Contour Analysis

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters Continuous Pulse Contour Analysis Principle The relationship between blood flow out of the aorta and pressure measured near the aorta (femoral artery or other large artery) is determined by the compliance function. The compliance function can therefore be characterized by measuring blood pressure and blood flow (cardiac output) simultaneously.
  • Page 20: Continuous Haemodynamic Determination

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters Continuous haemodynamic determination The following parameters are derived by the PULSION PiCCO , analyzing the arterial pressure curve beat by beat. The parameters can alternatively be displayed as absolute parameters or indexed to the patient´s body characteristics.
  • Page 21: Cpo

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters 3.3.3 SVV / PPV SVV is the variation in stroke volume over a certain time. Figure 6: SVV PPV is the variation in pulse pressure over a certain time. Figure 7: PPV In mechanically ventilated patients without arrhythmias SVV and PPV enable an estimation of the volume responsiveness.
  • Page 22: Central Venous Oximetry

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters Central venous oximetry Principle The PiCCO measures central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO ) by spectrophotometry. Spectrophotometry involves the use of light emitting diodes (LED) that produce light of various wavelengths in red and infrared spectra. The light is transmitted to the blood through a fiberoptic in the probe, reflected off the red blood cells and transmitted back through a separate fiberoptic to an optical module.
  • Page 23: Pulse Oximetry And Pulse Dye Densitometry

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters Pulse oximetry and pulse dye densitometry Principle of pulse oximetry Pulse oximetry measures the percentage oxygen saturation of the haemoglobin. The principle of pulse oximetry is based on the transmission and absorption of light waves in the visible and near-infrared spectrum by haemoglobin.
  • Page 24: Principle Of Icg Elimination Detection

    Principles of Measurement and Parameters Principle of ICG elimination detection ICG has an absorption maximum of approximately 805 nm. The determination of ICG concentration within this range (optical window) is not disturbed by other blood components. The trend in ICG concentration over time is used to calculate the relative change in percent per minute. The plasma disappearance rate (PDR) of ICG is a measure of the excretory capacity of the liver and thus global liver function.

    90 – 100 NOTE PULSION is a medical device manufacturer and does not practice medicine. PULSION does not recommend these values for use on a specific patient. The treating physician is in any case responsible for determining and utilizing the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures for each individual patient.
  • Page 26 Principles of Measurement and Parameters WARNING: The PiCCO equipment may only be regarded as a device providing early warning. If there is an indication of a trend towards de-oxygenation of the patient, blood samples must be taken and tested on a laboratory oximeter in order to arrive at a decision concerning the condition of the patient.

    Installation and setup Thermodilution and calibration of pulse contour analysis Figure 26: "Thermodilution" screen Figure 27: Selection of “Inj. Volume” option with help screen “Recommended Inj. Volume” A thermodilution measurement is necessary to determine the patient´s volume status and to calibrate the pulse contour analysis with reference to the CO value.
  • Page 50 Installation and setup NOTE Central venous pressure (CVP) is required for calibration of continuous cardiac output (PCCO). Before performing a thermodilution measurement, pay attention to a current and plausible value. In cases of a continuous CVP measurement with the PiCCO , the CVP value from the beginning of the thermodilution measurement is used in order to avoid errors due to, for e.g., adjusting the 3-way-stopcock to which the central venous pressure transducer is connected.
  • Page 51: Figure 28: Recommended Injectate Volume Depending On Body Weight

    Installation and setup NOTE The rejection of measurement values is only possible within 10 minutes after the measurement. NOTE In case of T < 0.1°C, the precision of the thermodilution measurement should be further optimized by using cold (< 8°C) and/or more injectate. If no plausible arterial pressure signal is available during a thermodilution measurement, the measurement is not used to calibrate PCCO, but is included in the average for the thermodilution parameters.
