Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Number of participants who have agreement or disagreement between passive leg raise response and subsequent intravenous fluid challenge
Secondary outcome measures
Decrease in vasopressor dose, in response to fluid therapy guided by passive leg raise response using NICOM or Flotrac devices

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: NICOM/FloTracExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
500-1000ml Crystalloid fluid challenge (normal saline or plasmalyte) to be given for positive passive leg raise test by either device, and also will be given at baseline, regardless of baseline PLR response.
