Comparison Between Changes in Systolic-Pressure Variation and Pulse-Pressure Variation After Passive Leg Raising to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Postoperative Critically Ill Patients

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

ΔSPVPLR and ΔPPVPLR could accurately predict fluid responsiveness in postoperative critically ill patients. There was no difference in the ability to predict fluid responsiveness between ΔSPVPLR and ΔPPVPLR.
