1

Is the patient ventilated with CMV without spontaneous efforts?

2

Is the patient ventilated with tidal volume at least 7–8 ml/kg IBW?

3

Is the patient in closed-chest condition?

4

Is the patient in sinus rhythm?

5

Is lung compliance normal?

6

Is the patient unaffected by valvular disease?

7

Is the patient unaffected by right/left ventricular dysfunction?

8

Does the patient have normal abdominal pressure?

9

Is the HR/RR ratio ≥ 3.6?

10

Can you safely assess the efficacy of VE without HR or vasomotor tone changes?

  1. CMV: controlled mechanical ventilation; HR/RR: heart rate/respiratory rate ratio; IBW: ideal body weight; VE: volume expansion
