Open Access Abstract Introduction Pleth Variability Index PVI is a new algorithm that allows continuous and automatic estimation of respiratory variations in the pulse oximeter waveform amplitude. Our aim was to test its ability to detect changes in preload induced by passive leg raising PLR in spontaneously breathing volunteers. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study. Twenty-five spontaneously breathing volunteers were enrolled. PVI heart rate and noninvasive arterial pressure were recorded. Cardiac output was assessed using transthoracic echocardiography. Volunteers were studied in three successive positions baseline semirecumbent position after PLR of 45 with the .
