Changes in the Plethysmographic Perfusion Index During an End-Expiratory Occlusion Detect a Positive Passive Leg Raising Test*

Conclusions: Perfusion index could be used as a reliable surrogate of cardiac index for performing the end-expiratory occlusion test. Confirming previous results, the relative changes in perfusion index also reliably detected a positive passive leg raising test.
