Brief summary

The aim of the study is to compare end expiratory occlusion test to passive leg raising test for prediction of fluid responsiveness in post cardiac surgery mechanically ventilated patients.

Detailed description

Circulatory hypervolemia and hypovolemia are both associated with worse outcomes.Intravenous fluids are similar to drugs, with serious adverse effects and changeful efficacy. Fluids should be administered only if indicated. Passive leg raising test transiently increase venous return which can be used to evaluate fluid responsiveness.There is growing evidence that the End expiratory occlusion (EEO) test reliably detects fluid responsiveness. In patients under mechanical ventilation, the inspiration increases intra-thoracic pressure and decreases venous return. The expiratory hold augments the cardiac preload which, in case of preload responsiveness, leads to a significant increase of cardiac output (CO).EEO prevents any variation in intra-thoracic pressure leading to an increase in venous return, cardiac preload and stroke volume in preload-responsive patients. There're no studies comparing EEO with passive leg raising test in cardiac surgery patients. So, this is the target of the study.

Interventions

All studied mechanically ventilated patients under post operative sedation. EEO test will be applied to predict probable responder and probable non-responder according to pulse pressure variation in accordance to previous study where the response to volume expansion was defined as an increase in pulse pressure of 5% or more

All studied mechanically ventilated patients under post operative sedation.Passive leg raising test will be applied to predict probable responder and probable non-responder according to the PPV in accordance to previous study where the response to volume expansion was defined as an increase in pulse pressure of at least 10%
