Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Studies from Koc University Hospital Further Understanding of Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine (Visual Evaluation of Plethysmographic Waveforms: Introducing the Simple Systolic Ratio as an Indicator of Fluid Responsiveness)

Article Description
Objective: For patient safety, maintaining hemodynamic stability during surgical procedures is critical. Dynamic indices [such as systolic pressure variation (SPV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV)], have recently seen an increase in use. Given the risks associated with such invasive techniques, there is growing interest in non-invasive monitoring methods-and plethysmographic waveform analysis. However, many such non-invasive methods involve intricate calculations or brand-specific monitors. This study introduces the simple systolic ratio (SSR), derived from pulse oximetry tracings, as a non-invasive method to assess fluid responsiveness. Methods: This prospective observational study included 25 adult patients whose SPV, PPV, and SSR values were collected at 30-min intervals during open abdominal surgery. The SSR was defined as the ratio of the tallest waveform to the shortest waveform within pulse tracings. The correlations among SSR, SPV, and PPV were analyzed. Additionally, anaesthesia specialists visually assessed pulse oximetry tracings to determine fluid responsiveness using the SSR method. Results: Strong correlations were observed between SSR and both SPV (r = 0.715, P < 0.001) and PPV (r = 0.702, P < 0.001). Receiver operator curve analysis identified optimal SSR thresholds for predicting fluid responsiveness at 1.47 for SPV and 1.50 for PPV. A survey of anaesthesia specialists using the SSR method to visually assess fluid responsiveness produced an accuracy rate of 83%. Conclusion: Based on the strong correlations it exhibits with traditional markers, SSR has great potential as a clinical tool, especially in resource-limited settings. However, further research is needed to establish its role, especially as it pertains to its universal applicability across monitoring devices.
