Prediction of Fluid Responsiveness From Passive Leg Raising Induced Changes in Perfusion Index and Pleth Variability Index

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Fluid Responsiveness
Registration Number
NCT03499860
Lead Sponsor
Institute of Mountain Emergency Medicine
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether changes in Perfusion Index (PI) and Pleth Variability Index (PVI) during passive leg raising test can predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients.

Fluid responsive patients are defined as showing an increase in cardiac output \>10% during a passive leg raising test, measured semi-invaseively with FloTrac® (Edwards LifeSciences. Irvine, United States).
