Decrease in pulse pressure and stroke volume variations after mini-fluid challenge accurately predicts fluid responsiveness

Conclusions
The SVV100 and PPV100 predict fluid responsiveness accurately and better than CCI100 (PiCCO™; Pulsion) in patients with circulatory failure and ventilated with low volumes.
