Excerpt

The prediction value of pulse pressure variation (ΔPP) in patients ventilated with low VT is not well studied. A ΔPP of 12 to 13% is validated as a predictor of volume response in several studies, but in patients ventilated with VT >8 ml/kg. One study has shown that the ΔPP of 12 to 13% does not predict volume response in patients ventilated with a low VT. We hypothesized that a lower cut-off value for ΔPP can predict volume response in patients with low VT. …
