In this respect PPV has so far been used mainly in the decision-making process regarding volume expansion in patients with shock. As an indicator of the position on the Frank-Starling curve PPV may actually be useful in many other clinical situations. In patients with acute lung injury or with acute respiratory distress syndrome PPV can predict hemodynamic instability induced by positive end-expiratory pressure and recruitment maneuvers. PPV may also be useful to prevent excessive fluid restriction depletion in patients with pulmonary edema and to prevent excessive ultrafiltration in critically ill patients undergoing hemodialysis or hemofiltration. In the operating room a goal-directed fluid therapy based on PPV monitoring has the potential to improve the outcome of patients undergoing high-risk surgery. In the previous issue of Critical Care Keyl and colleagues 1 have investigated the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy on arterial pulse pressure variation PPV . Many studies 2 have shown that PPV is .
