RVEDVI may better reflect preload than PAWP in trauma; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective outcome trials.
Does RVEDVI more accurately predict cardiac preload compared to PAWP in trauma patients?
RVEDVI more accurately predicts preload recruitable increases in cardiac index than PAWP in trauma patients.
