Ability of a New Smartphone Pulse Pressure Variation and Cardiac Output Application to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, PPVCAP and PPVPC both weakly predict fluid responsiveness. However, COCAP is not a good substitute for COTD and cannot be used to assess fluid responsiveness.
