Popis: Background: Pulse wave transit time (PWTT) shows promise for monitoring intravascular fluid status intraoperatively. Presently, it is unknown how PWTT mirrors haemodynamic variables representing preload, inotropy, or afterload. Methods: PWTT was measured continuously in 24 adult volunteers. Stroke volume was assessed by transthoracic echocardiography. Volunteers underwent four randomly assigned manoeuvres: ‘Stand-up’ (decrease in preload), passive leg raise (increase in preload), a ‘step-test’ (adrenergic stimulation), and a ‘Valsalva manoeuvre’ (increase in intrathoracic pressure). Haemodynamic measurements were performed before and 1 and 5 min after completion of each manoeuvre. Correlations between PWTT and stroke volume were analysed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: ‘Stand-up’ caused an immediate increase in PWTT (mean change +55.9 ms, P-value
