ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of analyzing changes in continuously measured hemodynamic parameters in response to a set of predetermined changes in airway pressure or tidal volume. The method is generally called "respiratory systolic variation test" (RSVT). The analysis of the change in the hemodynamic parameter in response to such airway pressure maneuver serves as a non-invasive or minimally invasive method of assessing the cardiovascular status, particularly the volume responsiveness of the patient.
