Passive Leg Raising: Simple and Reliable Technique to Prevent Fluid Overload in Critically ill Patients

Conclusions:PLR coupled with real ‑time SV monitors is considered a simple, noninvasive, and accurate method to determine fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients with high sensitivity and specifcity for a 10% increase in SV. The adverse effect of albumin on the mortality of head trauma patients and chloride‑rich crystal loids on mortality and kidney function needs to be considered when choosing the type of fluid for resuscitation.Keywords:Colloids, critically ill patients, crystalloids, fluid responsiveness, passive leg raising,stroke volume
