[Negative fluid balance predicts survival in patients with septic shock].
To explore the change of fluid balance in patients with septic shock for seven continuous days and examine its effect on clinical prognosis. ⋯ Cumulative net negative balance quantity of fluid in survivors was much more than that in non-survivors. SOFA score and net balance quantity of fluid at Day 7 were the independent prognostic risk factors for septic shock. Cumulative net fluid balance at Day 7 was most negatively correlated with survival days. No significant inter-group difference existed in organ function at Day 7.

[Evaluation of pleth variability index for predicting hypotension during induction of anesthesia in surgical patients].
To evaluate the ability of pre-anesthesia pleth variability index (PVI) in supine and passive head raising (PHR) position at 30° for predicting hypotension during induction of anesthesia. ⋯ Pre-anesthesia PVI in PHR at 30° position may predict hypotension during induction with an acceptable accuracy. And this procedure is probably helpful for assessing high-risk patients susceptible to severe hypotension during induction.
