Usually TPTD is performed by indicator injection via the jugular or subclavian vein. However, under certain circumstances, superior vena cava access is not feasible due to thrombosis of the jugular or subclavian vein, polytrauma, burns, infection, or use of the superior vena cava access for dialysis catheters. In these cases, femoral access can be used for TPTD. Femoral access accounts for up to 20%–35% of all catheter insertions (Deshpande et al., 2005 2005 ; Gowardman et al., 2008 2008 ). However, two studies (Schmidt et al., 2007 2007 ; Saugel et al., 2010 2010 ) comparing jugular and femoral TPTD indicator bolus injections using PiCCO ® device (Pulsion Medical Systems AG, Munich, Germany) have demonstrated significant overestimation particularly of GEDVI due to the additional volume of the inferior vena cava participating in the indicator dilution in the case of femoral injection. Both studies suggested correction for this volume. One of these studies provided correction formulae for femoral GEDVI (GEDVI fem ), femoral EVLWI (EVLWI fem ), and femoral CI (CI fem ) based on data from 48 TPTDs in 24 patients (Saugel et al., 2010 2010 ). This study was able to demonstrate the usefulness particularly of the correction of GEDVI fem in another 6 subsequent patients. Recently, in addition to the PiCCO ® device, another commercially available device for TPTD has been introduced, EV1000/VolumeView ® (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, USA) (Bendjelid et al., 2010 2010 ; 2013 2013 ; Kiefer et al., 2012 2012 ; Cho et al., 2015 2015 ). Based on TPTD, the EV1000/VolumeView ® uses similar methodologies and algorithms as the PiCCO ® device, which resulted in a good agreement of the data obtained simultaneously by the PiCCO system and the EV1000/VolumeView ® in one animal and one clinical evaluation study (Bendjelid et al., 2010 2010 ; Kiefer et al., 2012 2012 ). Nevertheless, regarding calculation of GEDVI and EVLWI there is a certain difference between these devices: calculations based on the “downslope time” used by the PiCCO ® system have been replaced by a “proprietary function” of the maximum ascending and descending slopes of the thermodilution curve in the EV1000/VolumeView ® . To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the bias induced by femoral indicator injection using the EV1000/VolumeView ® device. Therefore, we compared GEDVI, CI, and EVLWI, PVPI, and GEF obtained by femoral as well as by jugular TPTD-indicator injection using the EV1000/VolumeView ® device in a patient equipped with both jugular and femoral venous access. Furthermore, we evaluated the usefulness of the above-mentioned correction formulae for femoral TPTD-indicator injection developed for the PiCCO ® device (Saugel et al., 2010 2010 ). Case history 1 An 87-year old woman (65 kg; 170 cm) was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) because of hypovolemic shock and oliguria due to diuretics over-dosage. The patient had been admitted to another hospital 8 h before due to pre-renal acute renal failure (creatinine 7.0 mg/dl) with hyperkalaemia (8.6 mmol/L). Therefore, the patient had undergone emergency dialysis. On admission to our hospital she was equipped with a femoral dialysis catheter. For fluid resuscitation an additional jugular central venous catheter was placed in the right jugular vein. With informed and written consent of the representative of the patient, we recorded 10 datasets, each comprising duplicate TPTD via femoral vein access and immediately subsequent duplicate TPTD via jugular vein access within 15 h after admission using the EV1000/VolumeView ® device. An injection volume of 20 ml cold saline (4 °C) was used for TPTD. During the 15-h period with 10 TPTDs, the patient was always spontaneously breathing and always had sinus rhythm. After 15 h of controlled resuscitation, the patient could be transferred to the normal ward. Renal function recovered and the patient could be discharged after 5 d with a serum creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dl. Endpoints, statistics: comparison of jugular GEDVI (GEDVI jug ), jugular CI (CI jug ), jugular EVLWI (EVLWI jug ), jugular PVPI (PVPI jug ), and jugular GEF (GEF jug ) to uncorrected GEDVI fem , CI fem , EVLWI fem , femoral PVPI (PVPI fem ) and femoral GEF (GEF fem ). In a second step, femoral TPTD-derived parameters were corrected by the formulae suggested by Saugel et al. ( 2010 2010 ) and compared to jugular indicator injection-derived parameters: $${\rm{GEDV}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{corrected}}}} = 0.{\rm{539GEDV}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{fem}}}} - {\rm{15}}.{\rm{17}} + {\rm{24}}.{\rm{49C}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{fem}}}} + {\rm{2}}.{\rm{311IBW}}$$ , $${\rm{EVLW}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{corrected}}}} = 0.{\rm{863EVLW}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{fem}}}} - 0.{\rm{88}} + 0.{\rm{377C}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{fem}}}}$$ , $${\rm{C}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{corrected}}}} = 0.{\rm{931C}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{fem}}}} + {\rm{1}}.{\rm{45}} - 0.000{\rm{42GEDV}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{fem}}}} + 0.0{\rm{28CV}}{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{fem}}}} - 0.00{\rm{9}}H$$ , where IBW is ideal body weight, CVP fem is femoral central venous pressure, and H is height. The Wilcoxon-test for paired samples was used to compare parameters derived from femoral TPTD to the corresponding data obtained by jugular TPTD. Bland-Altman-analysis modified for repeated measurements was performed to demonstrate the differences of TPTD-derived parameters after femoral and jugular bolus injections in dependence of mean measurement levels (Bland and Altman, 1999 1999 ). To correct for a limited number of repeated measurements in a single patient, agreement between the two measurement methods was evaluated by calculating the systematic error (bias) with the 95% limit of individual agreement (LOA) as bias ±2.26 standard deviation (SD) with 2.26 corresponding to the 0.975-quantile of the t -distribution for n =10 measurements. The percentage errors of hemodynamic parameters were calculated as demonstrated by Critchley and Critchley ( 1999 1999 ). Software: IBM SPSS Statistics 23 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results 1 During the 15-h observation period and between the 10 TPTD measurements with a mean interval of 100 min, the patient underwent a number of therapeutic interventions including fluid resuscitation and changes in the noradrenaline dosage (between 0 and 600 μg/h). This also resulted in slight changes in non-TPTD-derived parameters such as heart rate ((106±7) min −1 ; range: 93–117 min −1 ; coefficient of variation (CV): 0.06), mean arterial pressure ((82±8) mmHg; rang: 68–97 mmHg; CV: 0.10), and CVP ((1.8±1.7) mmHg; rang: 0–5 mmHg; CV: 0.96). All changes in heart rate occurred during continuous sinus rhythm. Global end-diastolic volume index 2 Fig. 1 1 demonstrates the time course of GEDVI jug , GEDVI fem , and corrected GEDVI fem (GEDVI fem, corrected ). GEDVI fem ((674.6±52.3) ml/m 2 ) was significantly higher than GEDVI jug ((552.3±69.7) ml/m 2 ) ( P =0.003). Bland-Altman analyses (Fig. 2 2 ) of GEDVI jug and GEDVI fem demonstrated a bias of (+122±61) ml/m 2 , limits of agreement of −16 and +260 ml/m 2 , and a percentage error of 22%. Correction of GEDVI fem using the above-mentioned formula resulted in a mean GEDVI fem, corrected of (586.3±34.9) ml/m 2 , which was not significantly different from GEDVI jug ((552.3±69.7) ml/m 2 ; P =0.074; Fig. 3 3 ). The bias GEDVI fem, corrected −GEDVI jug of (34.0±58.7) ml/m 2 (limits of agreement of −97 and +167 ml/m 2 ; percentage error of 23%) was significantly lower than the bias using uncorrected GEDVI fem (122.3±60.7) ml/m 2 ; P =0.005). Each point is the mean of two measurements The points are based on the means of two determinations with each injection method The points are based on the means of two determinations with each injection method Cardiac index 2 Similarly CI fem ((4.50±0.36) L/(min∙m 2 )) was significantly higher than CI jug ((4.12±0.44) L/(min∙m 2 ); P =0.02), resulting in a bias of (+0.38±0.37) L/(min∙m 2 ) (limits of agreement of −0.46 and +1.22 L/(min∙m 2 ); percentage error of 19.4%; Fig. 4 4 ). Application of the above-mentioned correction formula resulted in a significant reduction ( P =0.005) of the bias to −0.098 L/(min∙m 2 ) (limits of agreement of −0.93 and +0.74 L/(min∙m 2 ); percentage error of 20.5%; Fig. 5 5 ). Furthermore, corrected CI fem (CI fem, corrected ) and CI jug were not significantly different ((4.02±0.35) vs. (4.12±0.44) L/(min∙m 2 ); P =0.799). The points are based on the means of two determinations with each injection method The points are based on the means of two determinations with each injection method Extra vascular lung water index 2 EVLWI fem ((5.32±0.82) ml/kg) was not significantly different ( P =0.154) from EVLWI jug ((5.15±1.10) ml/kg), resulting in a small bias of (0.17±0.59) ml/kg (limits of agreement of −1.16 and +1.5 ml/kg; percentage error of 25.5%). Corrected EVLWI fem (EVLWI fem, corrected , (5.41±0.72) ml/kg) was neither significantly different compared to EVLWI jug ( P =0.203) nor to EVLWI fem ( P =0.139). Pulmonary vascular permeability index and global ejection fraction 2 Furthermore, femoral TPTD-derived values of PVPI (PVPI=EVLW/(0.25×GEDVI)) and GEF (GEF=4×stroke volume/GEDVI) were significantly lower than those for jugular indicator injection (PVPI: 1.244±0.101 vs. 1.522±0.139, P < 0.001; GEF: (24.7±1.6)% vs. (28.1±1.8)%, P < 0.001). Discussion 1 In this report, we present data on TPTD with the EV1000/VolumeView®device using indicator injection via inferior vena cava access. In general, the hemodynamic parameters provided and the normal ranges given by the manufacturer of the EV1000/VolumeView® device are congruent to the PiCCO® device. Identical normal values as for the PiCCO and the data of two evaluation studies suggest that the normal route for indicator bolus application using the EV1000/VolumeView® is via jugular or subclavian access (Kiefer et al., 2012 2012 ). Physiological background 2 With injection of the indicator bolus via a femoral catheter, the total indicator distribution volume is augmented by larger parts of the inferior vena cava compared to indicator injection closest to the right atrium using jugular or subclavian access. This necessarily results in an overestimation of GEDVI. The differences between femoral and jugular vein injection in particular for GEDVI can be explained by the mathematical fundamentals of single indicator TPTD (Calbet and Boushel, 2015 2015 ): (1) The total volume participating in single indicator TPTD is called intrathoracic thermo-volume (ITTV), which is calculated by multiplication of mean transit time (MTT) with cardiac output (CO): ITTV=MTT×CO. (2) MTT is the time from injection until half of the indicator has passed the thermistor tip. In single indicator TPTD, GEDVI is calculated by subtraction of pulmonary thermo-volume (PTV) from ITTV: GEDVI=ITTV–PTV. (3) PTV is composed of pulmonary blood volume (PBV) and EVLWI. PTV can be calculated by multiplication of CO and the time of the exponential decrease of the thermodilution curve (“downslope time” ( t d )): PTV=CO× t d . The PiCCO ® system uses the “downslope time” based on the finding that in serial mixing chambers with identical flow, the exponential decrease of the TPTD curve is determined by the largest chamber. By contrast, in the EV1000/VolumeView ® t d has been replaced by a “proprietary function” of the maximum ascending and descending slopes of the TPTD curve. With the exact mathematical algorithm of the EV1000/VolumeView ® remaining occult, it is difficult to assess the impact of femoral indicator injection on the measurement of PTV in the EV1000/VolumeView ® . However, in both PiCCO and EV1000/VolumeView ® the injection of the indicator bolus via a femoral catheter increases MTT and GEDVI. Consequently, two recent studies using the PiCCO® device demonstrated mean bias values for GEDVI fem compared with GEDVI jug of 241 and 141 ml/m 2 , respectively (Schmidt et al., 2007 2007 ; Saugel et al., 2010 2010 ). Both values exceed the difference between the upper and lower normal values (normal range: 680–800 ml/m 2 ). In other words, decreased TPTD values measured via a jugular venous catheter might exceed the upper normal level when simultaneously measured via femoral TPTD. This emphasizes the need for correction and awareness of this potential confounder. One option could be to correct MTT for the time required for the indicator to flow from the femoral injection site to the right atrium as demonstrated by Calbet and Boushel ( 2015 2015 ). This time has been termed “time from the femoral vein to the right atrium” (TFVRA). TFVRA can be determined as time between injection of agitated indicator and the appearance of air bubbles in the right atrium visualized by ultrasound (Calbet and Boushel, 2015 2015 ). Saugel et al. ( 2010 2010 ) using the PiCCO® device provided a first empiric attempt for individual correction formulae. However, these formulae, so far, neither have been re-evaluated nor applied for the EV1000/VolumeView® device. Our data using the EV1000/VolumeView® device confirm the findings of the above-mentioned study using the PiCCO® device, also including a substantial reduction of the bias of femoral indicator injection-derived GEDVI by the correction formula provided by the authors: regarding GEDVI, we found a significant overestimation by GEDVI fem with a bias of (+122±61) ml/m 2 compared to simultaneous GEDVI jug . With regard to the normal range of GEDVI of 680–800 ml/m 2 , this is more than 100% of the difference of the upper and the lower normal value. This bias of (+122±61) ml/m 2 was significantly reduced by 72% to 34.0 ml/m 2 by the formula suggested by Saugel et al. ( 2010 2010 ). As a result of correction according to this formula, corrected GEDVI fem was not significantly different from GEDVI jug . These findings resembling the data reported for the PiCCO® (Schmidt et al., 2007 2007 ; Saugel et al., 2010 2010 ) are particularly remarkable, since, compared to the PiCCO®, the EV1000/VolumeView® uses a slightly different algorithm to calculate GEDVI (Bendjelid et al., 2010 2010 ). Compared to the marked impact on GEDVI (22.1% overestimation), PVPI (18.3% underestimation), and GEF (12.3% underestimation), the bias induced by femoral TPTD regarding CI of +0.38 L/(min∙m 2 ) seems to be less pronounced. In the patient investigated, the bias was about 9% of mean CI jug and 19% of the difference of the upper and lower normal levels of CI (2.5–4.5 L/(min∙m 2 )). Similarly to GEDVI, the application of the correction formula significantly reduced the bias regarding CI. By contrast, femoral TPTD did not result in a significant difference of EVLWI fem and EVLWI jug . Clinical applications 2 Physicians using femoral access for TPTD should be aware of a marked bias particularly regarding GEDVI. Correction formulae should be further investigated and may be a more straightforward solution than establishing specific normal values for femoral indicator injection-derived TPTD parameters. As a consequence of the above-mentioned data the manufacturer of the PiCCO® device (Pulsion Medical Systems, Feldkirchen, Germany) implemented a new software requiring the information about the central venous catheter site (femoral or jugular/subclavian), and some kinds of correction cases of femoral injection can be assumed for GEDVI, but not for PVPI (Berbara et al., 2014 2014 ). Interestingly, a recent study also demonstrated substantial impact of misplacement of subclavian vein central venous catheters into the jugular vein (Yu et al., 2016 2016 ). Catheter misplacement also resulted in marked overestimation of GEDVI. Limitations 2 Despite the conclusive findings in our study in accordance with previous data it has to be clearly stated that we analyzed a limited number of repeated measurements originating from a single patient. Nevertheless, our findings are likely to be generalizable with regard to the previous data with the PiCCO® device including a total of more than 100 measurements in 41 patients (Schmidt et al., 2007 2007 ; Saugel et al., 2010 2010 ) and the obvious physical rationale that the thermodilution volume is artificially increased by inferior cava. Randomization of the site of initial injection site (jugular or femoral) for different TPTDs would have avoided any bias, since GEDVI, CI, and EVLWI measured by TPTD at the second site might be slightly altered due to the impact on haemodynamics induced by the measurements using the first injection site. Since TPTD also calibrates pulse contour derived CI, for ethical reasons we performed TPTD on the gold standard site (jugular vein) after TPTD on the site with a potential confounding. Furthermore, only duplicate and not three consecutive injections were performed for each measurement. The recommendations of the manufacturers suggest injectate volumes of 15 or 20 ml for patients with a bodyweight above 50 kg. To provide maximum accuracy also using a venous access with potential confounding (TPTD via femoral vein) we chose the higher amount of injectate volume. However, to avoid a direct impact of the injection volume on haemodynamics (potential increase in GEDVI and CI) and also considering the large number of thermodilutions (a total of 40 injections within 10 h), we performed only duplicate injection for each measurement. Conclusions 1 Similarly as demonstrated for the PiCCO®, the use of femoral access for indicator injection results in markedly altered values provided by the EV1000/VolumeView®, particularly for GEDVI. The correction formulae suggested for the PiCCO®, markedly reduced the bias regarding GEDVI and CI induced by femoral TPTD. Further databases including heterogeneous populations of patients have to be analyzed. Acknowledgements 2 The EV1000/VolumeView® was provided for scientific use by Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, USA.
