<br/><br/> Knowing whether or not a fluid infusion can improve cardiac output (fluid responsiveness) is a crucial when treating hemodynamically unstable patients. For this reason, new indices, the so-called dynamic indices of fluid responsiveness, have been recently introduced in clinical use. If stroke volume, or stroke volume derived parameters (pulse pressure and aortic flow) show wide variation during mechanical ventilation, a good response to fluid therapy can be predicted
