Article Synopsis
- Analyzed how positive pressure ventilation affects arterial blood pressure and photoplethysmography in 57 patients in the operating room and ICU.
- Examined systolic and pulse pressure variations; found that pulse pressure variations and preejection periods were similar using both monitoring methods in 49 patients.
- Photoplethysmographic pulse variation > 9% reliably indicated patients with arterial pressure changes and predicted fluid responsiveness, especially in hypotensive cases.
