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 (2013) 39:93–100
