Assessment of Volume Responsiveness During Mechanical Ventilation: Recent Advances

  • Chapter
Annual Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine 2013

Part of the book series: Annual Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((AUICEM))

Abstract

Predicting which patients with acute circulatory failure will respond to fluid by a significant increase in cardiac output is a daily challenge, in particular in the setting of the intensive care unit (ICU). This challenge has become even more crucial because evidence is growing that administering excessive amounts of fluid is a risk factor in critically ill patients, in particular in patients with lung injury. However, some tests and indices allow prediction of fluid responsiveness before intravenous fluids are infused.
