Popis: Dynamic predictors of fluid responsiveness (FR) perform poorly in ICU patients receiving partial ventilatory assistance. Because these modes of partial support are increasingly used, FR dynamic indexes are applicable only in a few ICU patients [1]. To overcome these limitations, novel approaches for testing FR in ICU have been proposed, such as the passive leg raising and the end-expiratory occlusion. These tests, however, may not always be applicable [2]. During controlled mechanical ventilation, Pulse Pressure (PP) and left ventricle stroke volume are coupled; their variations are due to the reduction of right ventricle stroke volume consequent to ventilator insufflation and are either proportional to the tidal volume and closely related to preload dependence.
