The application of a brief SIGH of 4 seconds at 35 cmH20 has shown to reliably predict fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients undergoing pressure support ventilation. The end-expiratory occlusion test (EEOT) has been also used in the same type of patients, with the same purpose, but in a limited amount of studies. The aim of this study is to compare the reliability of the the two test in assessing fluid responsiveness.
