Excerpt
The passive leg raising maneuver (PLR) with concomitant measurement of invasive arterial pressure (AP) or cardiac output (CO) changes are used to test volume responsiveness. The initial hemodynamic evaluation of shocked patients often relies on the sole non-invasive measurement of AP. We assessed the performance of PLR-induced changes in oscillometric measurements of systolic, mean and pulse AP (ΔplrSAP, ΔplrMAP and ΔplrPP). …
