Respiratory-induced pulse pressure variations obtained with an arterial line (ΔPP(ART)) indicate fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. The Infinity® CNAP™ SmartPod® (Dräger Medical AG & Co. KG, Lübeck, Germany) provides noninvasive continuous beat-to-beat arterial blood pressure measurements and a near real-time pressure waveform. We hypothesized that respiratory-induced pulse pressure variations obtained with the CNAP system (ΔPP(CNAP)) predict fluid responsiveness as well as ΔPP(ART) predicts fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients during general anesthesia.
