Preload Responsiveness<br />

• Enomoto TM, et al; Crit Care Clin 26<br />

(2010) 307-321<br />

• If the ventricle is operating<br />

on the steep part of the<br />

curve increasing preload<br />

must induce an increase in<br />

SV (preload responsiveness).<br />

• If the ventricle is operating<br />

on the flat part of the curve<br />

increasing preload will not<br />

induce any significant<br />

increase in stroke volume<br />

(preload unresponsiveness).
