Hemodynamic Response to Fluid Challenge: A Means of Assessing Volume Status in the Critically Ill
Abstract
Cardiovascular and oxygen transport variables were studied during fluid challenges in 50 critically ill patients. The results show three distinct patterns of response: hypovolemic, normovolemic, and hypervolemic. Colloid fluid challenge is a rapid, effective diagnostic modality for determination of cardiovascular function in the surgical critical care patient.
