Does stroke volume variation assessed by the FloTrac/Vigileo system predict fluid responsiveness similarly to the PiCCOplus system?
Both FloTrac/Vigileo and PiCCOplus systems perform similarly in predicting fluid responsiveness using stroke volume variation, although FloTrac has a lower threshold value.
SVVs assessed using the FloTrac/Vigileo and the PiCCOplus systems exhibited similar performances in terms of predicting fluid responsiveness. In comparison with SVVPiCCO, SVVFloTrac has a lower threshold value.
