Brief Summary:
Hepatic artery and portal flows are both regulated to assume the whole hepatic blood flow. Each counts for respectively 25% and 75%. That so-called "buffer response" assumes that when portal flow increases, hepatic artery flow decreases. During fluid challenge in intensive care unit, fluid challenge is often administered to improve hepatic perfusion. That observation is not demonstrated. The aim of the study is to test buffer response and portal flow during fluid challenge.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hepatic Flow Changes Device: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Prospective monocentric study at Amiens Hospital University. 20 volunteers subjects will be include after providing informed consent. Fluid challenge will be performed with 500 ml of intra venous NaCl (0.9%). Hepatic blood flow measurement will be performed using MRI.

Arm Intervention/treatment
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
Hepatic blood flow baseline will be measured using MRI. Fluid challenge of 500 ml of NaCl 0.9% will be administered during 10 minutes. Before and After fluid challenge, MRI will be performed to compare flow changes.
Device: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
Fluid challenge will be performed with 500 ml of intra venous NaCl (0.9%). Hepatic blood flow measurement will be performed using MRI.
Other Name: 500 ml of intra venous NaCl (0.9%).




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Portal blood flow measure before and after fluid challenge [ Time Frame: Two hours: the difference in hepatic portal flow before and after a volume expansion of 500 ml NaCl 0.9%. ]
    Fluid challenge will be performed with 500 ml of intra venous NaCl (0.9%). Hepatic blood flow measurement will be performed using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Hepatic artery blood flow measure before and after fluid challenge [ Time Frame: Two hours ]
    Hepatic artery blood flow measure before and after a volume expansion of 500 ml NaCl 0.9%.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Flow ratio of portal flow on hepatic artery flow [ Time Frame: Two hours ]
    Flow ratio of portal flow on hepatic artery flow before and after a volume expansion of 500 ml NaCl 0.9%.
