Figure 1
Most common physiological limitations to the use of pulse pressure variation can be summarized as ‘LIMITS’. HR/RR, heart rate/respiratory rate.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Not respecting pulse pressure variation limitations and methodological noise artificially increase the zone of uncertainty, also called the grey zone.
