Excerpt
The ability to predict fluid responsiveness during the perioperative period is important in order to minimize the risk of hypovolemia and fluid overload. We studied the ability of dynamic indices [
1] such as pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) measured with the LiDCO™
rapid to predict the response in stroke volume (SV) after a fluid challenge (FC). …
