Observational Study
Echocardiography and passive leg raising in the postoperative period: A prospective observational study.
Signs of hypovolaemia are frequent in the postoperative period, but not all patients need or respond to fluid administration. An increase in cardiac output (CO) after passive leg raising (PLR) has been demonstrated to be useful as a volume response predictor in non-surgical, spontaneously breathing patients. ⋯ This is the first study showing that measurement of CO after PLR can predict volume response in spontaneously breathing postoperative patients.
