Details and patient eligibility

About

Pleth Variability Index (PVI) seems to be an ideal parameter to guide fluid management: dynamic parameter and non-invasive. PVI could guide fluid management during surgery and optimization of the plethysmographic-derived parameter could improve hemodynamics of the patients.
