This document discusses fluid responsiveness monitoring during surgery. It begins by outlining parameters used to evaluate fluid responsiveness, such as pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV). It notes that PPV directly measures pressure changes while SVV estimates volume changes. The document then examines other hemodynamic parameters like arterial elastance and dynamic elastance. It argues that a multiparameter model integrating pressures, perfusion, afterload, flow and dynamic vascular tone can better guide fluid management than any single parameter. The overall message is that fluid assessment during surgery requires considering multiple interconnected physiologic factors.
