Abstract
From the global end-diastolic volume GEDV and the global ejection fraction GEF the patient monitor () determines a corrected global end-diastolic volume cGEDV according to/ƒ()which is used as a novel parameter for volume responsiveness of the patient (). In the above formula, f(GEF) is a correction function depending on global ejection fraction GEF. Further, from the right ventricular end-diastolic volume RVEDV and the right ventricular ejection fraction RVEF the patient monitor () determines a corrected right ventricular end-diastolic volume cRVEDV according to()which is used as another novel parameter for volume responsiveness of the patient (). In the above formula, f(RVEF) is a correction function depending on right ventricular ejection fraction RVEF.
