Summary

This study looked at whether changes in blood pressure during a passive leg raise test can tell doctors if a patient needs more fluids. It included 39 ICU patients who were breathing on their own. The goal is to avoid giving unnecessary fluids, which can be harmful. The test uses standard blood pressure monitoring and an ultrasound to check the heart's response.
