Changes in the Cardiac Index Induced by Unilateral Passive Leg Raising in Spontaneously Breathing Patients: A Novel Way to Assess Fluid Responsiveness

Changes in the Cardiac Index Induced by Unilateral Passive Leg Raising in Spontaneously Breathing Patients: A Novel Way to Assess Fluid Responsiveness

BackgroundEvaluation of fluid responsiveness in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is crucial. This study was to determine whether changes in the cardiac index (CI) induced by a unilateral passive leg raising (PLR) test in spontaneously breathing patients can estimate fluid responsiveness.MethodsThi...
