Excerpt
Volume expansion is often used in anesthesia and critical care to improve oxygen delivery and, in mechanically ventilated patients, pulse pressure variation (PPV) has been proposed as an index to aid in the assessment of the appropriate amount of fluids to be administered to this end [
1]. The objective of this study was to compare PPV with conventional parameters as guides to resuscitation, in an experimental model of severe hemorrhagic shock with endotoxemia. …
