Why the study?
Postoperative success of the Fontan operation depends on preload volume, but effective indexes to evaluate fluid responsiveness in these patients are lacking.
Do stroke volume variation (SVV) and central venous pressure (CVP) accurately predict fluid responsiveness in children undergoing Fontan operation?
Population
Children undergoing Fontan operation
Comparison
Fluid responders (ΔCI ≥ 15%) vs nonresponders (ΔCI < 15%) after albumin fluid challenge

SVV may predict fluid responsiveness in pediatric Fontan patients; leaves open prospective validation before guiding therapy.
Do stroke volume variation (SVV) and central venous pressure (CVP) accurately predict fluid responsiveness in children undergoing Fontan operation?
Hemodynamic parameters may help assess fluid responsiveness in children undergoing Fontan operation, though the reported cutoff yielded only moderate sensitivity and specificity.
