Popis: The pleth variability index (PVI) is a new dynamic index obtained by automatic estimation of respiratory variations in the pulse oximeter waveform amplitude. This noninvasive and continuous hemodynamic monitoring has been recently proposed in mechanically ventilated patients to guide fluid therapy. We recently acquired a PVI monitor in 2014. PVI is calculated by measuring changes in perfusion index (PI) during the respiratory cycle as follows: PVI = ((PImax - Pimin) / PImax) × 100. This study aimed to investigate whether PVI at baseline can predict fluid responsiveness.
