Pleth Variability Index and Fluid Management During Surgery

December 30, 2008 updated by: Université Catholique de Louvain

Is Pleth Variability Index Able to Guide Fluid Management During Surgery?

Pleth Variability Index (PVI) seems to be an ideal parameter to guide fluid management: dynamic parameter and non-invasive. PVI could guide fluid management during surgery and optimization of the plethysmographic-derived parameter could improve hemodynamics of the patients.
