Evaluation of end-tidal carbon dioxide gradient as a predictor of volume responsiveness in spontaneously breathing healthy adults

Abstract Background Methods to guide fluid therapy in spontaneously breathing patients are scarce. No studies have reported the accuracy of end-tidal CO2 (ET-CO2) to predict volume responsiveness in these patients. We sought to evaluate the ET-CO2 gradient (ΔET-CO2) after a passive leg rise (PLR) ma...
