Objective: Dynamic variables of fluid responsiveness such as pulse pressure variation (PPV)
and stroke volume variation (SVV) have been shown to reliably predict the response to fluid …

Background Pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) are
frequently used to assess fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients on mechanical …

What this study tells us… In this issue of Critical Care Medicine, Renner et al (1) report the
results of a study entitled “Influence of increased intra-abdominal pressure on fluid …

Rationale. Elevated intra‐abdominal pressure (IAP) may compromise respiratory and
cardiovascular function by abdomino‐thoracic pressure transmission. We aimed (1) to study …

Dynamic variables of fluid responsiveness are useful guides for fluid management in
patients under controlled positive pressure ventilation. In the previous issue of Critical Care …

Objective: Intravesical pressure measurement is considered to be the gold standard for the
assessment of intra-abdominal pressure. However, this method is indirect and depends on a …

Objective To evaluate the effect of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on the systolic
and pulse pressure variations induced by positive pressure ventilation in a porcine model …

Predicting which patients with acute circulatory failure will respond to fluid by a significant
increase in cardiac output is a daily challenge, in particular in the setting of the intensive …

Objective: Dynamic preload indicators like pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume
variation (SVV) are increasingly being used for optimizing cardiac preload since they have …

Objective: To investigate the ability of a new stroke volume variation algorithm to predict fluid
responsiveness during general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation in animals with …
