Validity of Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) Compared with Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) in Predicting Fluid Responsiveness.
Static monitors for assessing the fluid status during major surgeries and in critically ill patients have been gradually replaced by more accurate dynamic monitors in modern-day anaesthesia practice. Pulse pressure variation (PPV) and systolic pressure variation (SPV) are the two commonly used dynamic indices for assessing fluid responsiveness. ⋯ Both PPV and SVV are useful to predict cardiac response to fluid loading. In both responders and non-responders, PPV has a greater association with fluid responsiveness than SVV.
