To determine whether the change in blood pressure during head down position and transiently increasing breath volume can predict the response to fluid therapy in seriously ill patients on mechanical ventilator receiving low breath volume and in prone position during COVID pandemic

To determine whether the change in pulse pressure variation during Trendelenburg manoeuvre and â??Tidal volume challengeâ?? can predict fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients ventilated using low tidal volume and in prone position during COVID pandemic

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine whether the change in Pulse Pressure Variation during Trendelenburg manoeuvre in prone ventilation and â??tidal volume challengeâ?? can reliably predict fluid responsiveness in patients ventilated in prone position.Timepoint: baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine whether non-invasive parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, Pulse pressure, ETCO2, Perfusion index change can reliably predict fluid responsiveness in patients during PLRT and during Trendelenburg manoeuvreTimepoint: immediate;To study the dynamic change in pulse pressure variation with different body positionsTimepoint: immediate
