Mean systemic filling pressure and venous return to assess the effects of passive leg raising and volume expansion in acute circulatory failure patients: a posthoc analysis of a multi-centre prospective study

Anaesth Crit Care Pain MedPublished Post-hoc analysis of a multicentre prospective study

Authors' conclusion

Venous return, derived from the mathematical model, increased in preload-dependent patients after VE and PLR because of the larger increases in Pmsf relative to CVP and the decreases in RVR. In preload-independent patients, VR did not change because of the larger rise in CVP compared to Pmsf after VE and PLR.

Study context

Population
Mechanically ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure
Participants
202 participants
Comparison
Fluid responders vs non-responders after volume expansion (VE) and passive leg raising (PLR)
Primary endpoint
