Passive Leg Raise Stroke-Volume Response

Passive leg raise response: percent change in stroke volume (or surrogate) from baseline to peak; a >= 10-15% rise predicts fluid responsiveness without giving fluid.

Example

Baseline stroke volume / surrogate
60
Peak value after leg raise
72

Result: Passive leg raise +20% stroke volume (60 -> 72): >= 10-15% -- predicts fluid responsiveness.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Threshold
a rise of at least 10-15% predicts fluid responsiveness regardless of rhythm or ventilation mode.

What you enter

  • Baseline stroke volume / surrogate
  • Peak value after leg raise
How this is calculated
Formula
%dSV = (peak - baseline) / baseline x 100; measure the real-time stroke-volume surrogate within about one minute.
