Effect of high thoracic extradural anaesthesia on ventilatory response to hypercapnia in normal volunteers.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Plethysmographic variability index (PVI) is an accurate predictor of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. However, the site of measurement of the plethysmographic waveform impacts its morphology and its respiratory variation. The goal of this study was to investigate the ability of PVI t...
