Reliability of pulse pressure and stroke volume variation in assessing fluid responsiveness in the operating room: a metanalysis and a metaregression

Crit CarePublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies

Authors' conclusion

The overall performance of PPV and SVV in operating room in predicting fluid responsiveness is moderate, ranging close to an AUC of 0.80 only some subgroups of surgical patients.

Metaregression: factors affecting PPV performance

High Vt and colloids positively impacted PPV performance, especially with closed chest and abdomen or prone position
