Abstract

Dynamic predictors are clearly superior to static pressures in predicting whether a patient will respond to a fluid bolus. Handcarried ultrasound (HCUS) can measure changes in blood flow velocity in the brachial artery that parallel arterial pulse pressure variation. The potential for HCUS to guide fluid therapy noninvasively must overcome problems of sensitivity and applicability. © 2009 BioMed Central Ltd.
