Respiratory variation in the inferior vena cava (ΔIVC) has been extensively studied with
respect to its value in predicting fluid responsiveness, but the results are conflicting. This …

Background The fluid challenge is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of fluid
responsiveness. The objective of this study was to describe the fluid challenge techniques …

Abstract Summary The FloTrac/Vigileo™, introduced in 2005, uses arterial pressure
waveform analysis to calculate cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume variation (SVV) …

Background Transthoracic oesophagectomy is associated with major morbidity and
mortality, which may be reduced by goal-directed therapy (GDT). The aim of this multicentre …

OBJECTIVE: Clinical evidence has proved that postinduction hypotension (PIH) is very
prevalent in surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia, and commonly develops …

Introduction Fluid challenges are widely adopted in critically ill patients to reverse
haemodynamic instability. We reviewed the literature to appraise fluid challenge …

METHODS Study Selection and Inclusion Criteria For the purposes of this review, we
defined FC as the infusion of a definite quantity of fluid of a specific quality in a fixed time …

Background The present study aimed to evaluate the reliability of hemodynamic changes
induced by lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) in predicting stroke volume (SV) increase after …

Background Spinal anaesthesia carries a risk of hypotension. We hypothesized that pleth
variability index and perfusion index would assess maternal volume status, and thus, allow …

This study aimed to assess the reliability of stroke volume variation (SVV) in predicting
cardiac output (CO) decrease and hypotension during induction of general anesthesia. Forty …
