The mVLT fluid protocol consists of hemodilution response-guided mini fluid challenges. Each mini fluid challenge (MFC) consists of a 2.5 ml kg<sup>-1</sup>–5 ml kg<sup>-1</sup> crystalloid bolus infused over 2 min–5 min and followed by a 5 min period with no fluids. Arterial plasma dilution efficacy (aPDE) of a MFC is calculated from invasively measured hemoglobin (aHb) before and after each MFC. Capillary plasma dilution efficacy (<em>cPDE</em>) is calculated from non-invasively measured hemoglobin (SpHb). The zero or negative arterio-capillary plasmadilution efficacy difference (<em>acPED</em> ≤ 0 p.d.u.) is an indication of <em>hemodilution non-response</em> and <em>imminent edema</em>. However, it requires both invasive and non-invasive hemoglobin measurements. A non-invasive assessment of hemodilution response within the mVLT method would increase its practical application and reduce costs further enhancing its applicability in the SCLIS. This possibility exists if the <em>cPDE</em> could reliably predict the <em>acPED</em> value or the hemodilution <em>response</em> (the presence of <em>acPED</em> within a range of &gt; 0) or <em>non-response</em> (<em>acPED</em> ≤ 0).</p> <p class="Abstract">We report a retrospective observational study in an elective total knee arthoplasty (TKA) setting. The 2.5 ml kg<sup>-1</sup> boluses were used in six MFCs in both pre- and post-operative mVLT sessions. The primary objective was to assess the accuracy of <em>cPDE</em> in predicting the hemodilution <em>response</em> using the <em>receiver operating characteristic</em> (ROC) curve and <em>gray zone</em> approaches. Our secondary objective was to investigate the feasibility of a statistical optimization method (SOM) in predicting the <em>acPED</em>.</p> <p class="Abstract">The analysis included 480 paired values of <em>cPDE</em> and <em>acPED</em>. The best cut-off value for <em>cPDE</em> was 0.015 p.d.u. (specificity = 0.84, sensitivity = 0.90). The <em>gray zone</em> identified a range of <em>cPDE</em> values between 0.013 and 0.028 (p.d.u.) for which the hemodilution response could not be indicated reliably. The 14 % of the <em>cPDE</em> values were in this range.</p> <p class="Abstract">The non-invasive evaluation of hemodilution response is acceptably accurate in the perioperative TKA setting. The mVLT algorithm within our prototype SCLIS was upgraded by implementing the results of the present study.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eee.22.1.12826">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eee.22.1.12826</a></p> ER -
