Pulse Pressure and Carotid Artery Doppler Velocimetry as Indicators of Maternal Volume Status: A Prospective Cohort Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The hemodynamic response of the carotid artery to autotransfusion after PLR is significantly greater in women with narrow pulse pressure. Pulse pressure correlates with the physiological response to autotransfusion and provides a qualitative indication of intravascular volume in term and near-term pregnant women.
