End-expiratory occlusion maneuver to predict fluid responsiveness in the intensive care unit: an echocardiographic study

Abstract Background In mechanically ventilated patients, an increase in cardiac index during an end-expiratory-occlusion test predicts fluid responsiveness. To identify this rapid increase in cardiac index, continuous and instantaneous cardiac index monitoring is necessary, decreasing its feasibilit...
