Abstract Introduction Fluid responsiveness prediction is difficult in spontaneously breathing patients. Because the swings in intrathoracic pressure are minor during spontaneous breathing dynamic parameters like pulse pressure variation PPV and systolic pressure variation SPV are usually small. We hypothesized that during spontaneous breathing inspiratory and or expiratory resistors could induce high arterial pressure variations at hypovolemia and low variations at normovolemia and hypervolemia. Furthermore we hypothesized that SPV and PPV could predict fluid responsiveness under these conditions. Methods Eight prone anesthetized and spontaneously breathing pigs 20 to 25 kg were subjected to a sequence of 30 hypovolemia normovolemia and 20 and 40 hypervolemia. At each volemic level the pigs breathed in a randomized order either through an inspiratory and or an expiratory threshold resistor cmH2O or only through the tracheal tube without any .
