Predicting volume responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients: still a challenging problem

Author: S Magder

Published in: Critical Care | Issue 5/2006

Abstract

The prediction of which patients respond to fluid infusion and which patients do not is an important issue in the intensive care setting. Assessment of this response by monitoring changes in some hemodynamic characteristics in relation to spontaneous breathing efforts would be very helpful for the management of the critically ill. This unfortunately remains a difficult clinical problem, as discussed in the previous issue of the journal. Technical factors and physiological factors limit the usefulness of current techniques.
