Echocardiography and passive leg raising in the postoperative period [PDF]
Signs of hypovolaemia are frequent in the postoperative period, but not all patients need or respond to fluid administration. An increase in cardiac output (CO) after passive leg raising (PLR) has been demonstrated to be useful as a volume response predictor in non-surgical, spontaneously breathing patients.The objective of this study was to evaluate ...

Can passive leg raise predict the response to fluid resuscitation in ED? [PDF]
Abstract Objective Passive leg raise (PLR) can be used as a reversible preload challenge to stratify patients according to preload response. We aim to evaluate the accuracy of PLR, monitored by a non-invasive cardiac output monitor in predicting to response to fluid resuscitation in emergency department (ED).

Passive leg raising: influence of blood pressure transducer site [PDF]
Dear Editor, We read with interest the published articles about the passive leg raising (PLR) test [1, 2]. The authors applied the changes of arterial pulse pressure and pulse contour-derived cardiac output to predict the fluid response during the PLR test; however, they did not demonstrate the exact position of the blood pressure transducer and ...

Passive leg raising in CPR: Increasing the effectiveness of each compression [PDF]
Producción Científica Latest guidelines on resuscitation of cardiac arrest in adults have highlighted again the importance of beginning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as earlier as possible with high-quality chest compressions (depth of 5–6 cm, rate of 100–120 compressions per minute with complete chest recoil, and minimizing interruptions) in ...

The passive leg raising test (PLR)
Introduction: The passive leg raising test (PLR) allows physicians to determine which patients require treatment with intravenous fluids. Objectives: It is important to be aware of tools that help us to determine the response to the passive leg raising test, as well as understanding in which clinical situations it can be performed.

Passive leg raising: five rules, not a drop of fluid! [PDF]
In acute circulatory failure, passive leg raising (PLR) is a test that predicts whether cardiac output will increase with volume expansion [1]. By transferring a volume of around 300 mL of venous blood [2] from the lower body toward the right heart, PLR mimics a fluid challenge.
