Summary

This is a pilot study to investigate whether patients at advanced age are fluid responders via a reversible fluid challenge, the passive leg raise test. This will be measured with a non-invasive cardiac output monitor, the LiDCO (LiDCO Hemodynamic monitoring) .

Detailed description

The intervention is as simple as a passive leg raise with measurement of effect on Stroke volume.

Conditions

• Stroke Volume
• Cardiovascular System
• Fluid Therapy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Passive leg raise	By tilting the patient's bed from sitting 45 degrees to supine with legs tilted up 45 degrees we recruit the blood volume in the legs and can measure a reversible fluid challenge on stroke volume.
