Can changes in arterial pressure be used to detect changes in cardiac index during fluid challenge in patients with septic shock?

Response to fluid challenge is often defined as an increase in cardiac index (CI) of more than 10-15%. However, in clinical practice CI values are often not available. We evaluated whether changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) correlate with changes in CI after fluid challenge in patients with septic shock.Journal ArticleSCOPUS: re.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
