Hemodynamic parameters as stroke volume variation (SVV) and global enddiastolic volume (GEDV) can be derived from pulse contour analysis (PCA) and transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD). These parameters are highly predictive of preload assessment and in this case superior to the central vein pressure (CVP). However, their applicability is affected by the absence of sinus rhythm and pressure-controlled ventilation (SVV) or by a femoral catheter site (GEDV), respectively. The purpose of this doctoral dissertation was to analyse in a huge data base of 4912 TPTDs the prevalence of the abovementioned criteria for the use of SVV. Additionally, the influence of the femoral compared with the jugular catheter site on the GEDV as well as the benefit of a correction formula was investigated.
