Does accuracy of the pleth variability index to predict fluid responsiveness depend on the perfusion index?
The PVI was not able to predict fluid responsiveness with sufficient accuracy. In patients with higher perfusion states, the PVI improved its ability to predict haemodynamic changes, strongly suggesting a relevant influence of the PI on the PVI.
It is concluded that PEITC is an effective antagonist of the Ah receptor in rat and human liver, and this potential may contribute to its established chemopreventive activity.
