Passive Leg raising (PLR) and EtCO2 connection
A
PLR-induced increase in EtCO2 >5 % predicted a fluid induced increase in CI
>15 % with sensitivity of 71 % (95 % confidence interval: 48–89 %) and
specificity of 100 (82–100) %.
Reference:
End-tidal carbon dioxide is better than arterial pressure for predicting
volume responsiveness by the passive leg raising test - Intensive Care Med
