To date, the end-expiratory occlusion test in infants or children has never been evaluated as a marker of preload dependence. It therefore appears clinically relevant to evaluate this new indicator to predict fluid responsiveness in all infants hospitalized in pediatric and neonatal intensive care. The main objective of this study is to determine whether the hemodynamic effects of a 15-second end-expiratory occlusion were able to predict fluid responsiveness in the mechanically ventilated infant or newborn in pediatric intensive care.
