The results are presented as the mean response from Swiss intensivists in %, with the number of replies to the total number of intensivists responding to the question (n Intensivists/total replies). For parameters requiring a specific technique, only the replies from ICUs where this technique was available were selected: pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) available: indicated by; transpulmonary thermodilution with PiCCO available: indicated by. CO: cardiac output; CVP: central venous pressure; EVLW: extravascular lung water; GEDV: global end-diastolic volume; ITBV: intrathoracic blood volume; PAOP: pulmonary artery occlusion pressure; PLR: passive leg rising test; PPV: pulse pressure variation; RVVC: respiratory variation of inferior vena cava; ScvO2: central venous blood saturation; SVV: stroke volume variation; SvO2: mixed venous blood saturation. |
