The primary goal of this study was to assess the ability of PI changes induced by a Vt challenge or fluid challenge test to detect preload responsiveness in critically ill adult patients on mechanical ventilation with low-tidal volume. The secondary aims were (i) to compare the changes in PI with VTI during a Vt challenge test (ii) to compare the changes in VTI and PI during a volume expansion challenge test, (iii) to compare the Vt-induced changes in PI to changes induced by fluid challenge test, (iv) to compare the Vt-induced changes in VTI to changes induced by fluid challenge test.
