Abstract Introduction Esophageal Doppler provides a continuous and non-invasive estimate of descending aortic blood flow ABF and corrected left ventricular ejection time LVETc . Considering passive leg raising PLR as a reversible volume expansion VE we compared the relative abilities of PLR-induced ABF variations LVETc and respiratory pulsed pressure variations APP to predict fluid responsiveness. Methods We studied 22 critically ill patients in acute circulatory failure in the supine position during PLR back to the supine position and after two consecutive VEs of 250 ml of saline. Responders were defined by an increase in ABF induced by 500 ml VE of more than 15 . Results Ten patients were responders and 12 were nonresponders. In responders the increase in ABF induced by PLR was similar to that induced by a 250 ml VE 16 versus 20 p . A PLR-induced increase in ABF of more than 8 predicted fluid responsiveness with a sensitivity of 90 and a specificity
