Excerpt

After the early phase of sepsis, excessive fluid administration may worsen pulmonary edema and prolong mechanical ventilation [1]. Accurately predicting fluid responsiveness obviates unnecessary fluid loading, and helps to detect patients who may benefit from a volume expansion. Pulse pressure variation (DPP) is a reliable predictor of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients only when tidal volume is at least 8 ml/kg [2]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of DPP for fluid responsiveness after a maneuver to change tidal volume to 8 ml/kg in patients ventilated with 6 ml/kg. …
