Excerpt

Although pulse pressure variation (PPV) is essentially proposed as a predictor of fluid responsiveness [1], it has also been appointed as an early detector of hypovolemia [2]. Still, caution has been recommended for its employment in certain conditions, as during pulmonary hypertension (PH) [2, 3]. Endotoxin-induced PH produces biphasic increase in mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in several animal models, in which the early phase is acute and transient [4]. The objective of this study was to analyze the early hemodynamic effects of endotoxemia on PPV, during severe hypovolemic shock. …
