Importance Fluid overload occurring as a consequence of overly aggressive fluid
resuscitation may adversely affect outcome in hemodynamically unstable critically ill …

Objectives: A systematic review of the literature to determine the ability of dynamic changes
in arterial waveform-derived variables to predict fluid responsiveness and compare these …

A non-invasive electronic patient monitor tracks one or more physiological parameters of a
patient, such as intravascular volume index (IVI), extravascular volume index (EVI), total …

Int. C.(57) ABSTRACT A6B 5/45.5(2006.01) A non-invasive electronic patient monitor tracks
one or more A6B 5/053(2006.01) physiological parameters of a patient, such as …

The clinical determination of the intravascular volume can be extremely difficult in critically ill
and injured patients as well as those undergoing major surgery. This is problematic because …

BACKGROUND: Administration of fluid to improve cardiac output is the mainstay of
hemodynamic resuscitation. Not all patients respond to fluid therapy, and excessive fluid …

Background Respiratory variations in pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform amplitude
(ΔPOP) can predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients but cannot be …

Objective: To assess whether the passive leg raising test can help in predicting fluid
responsiveness. Design: Nonsystematic review of the literature. Results: Passive leg raising …

Objective: During mechanical ventilation, inspiration cyclically decreases the left cardiac
preload. Thus, an end-expiratory occlusion may prevent the cyclic impediment in left cardiac …

Introduction Fluid resuscitation is crucial in managing hemodynamically unstable patients.
The last decade witnessed the use of pulse pressure variation (PPV) to predict fluid …
