Respiratory Variation of Carotid Doppler Peak Velocity (CDPV) for Non-invasive Prediction of Fluid Responsiveness
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess respiratory variation of carotid doppler peak velocity (∆CDPV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness during major abdominal surgery.
