a The concept underlying the fluid challenge technique. The best-case scenario for the tissues would be a significant increase in cardiac output with a minimal increase in cardiac filling pressures, whereas the worst-case scenario is a major increase in cardiac filling pressures with no significant increase in cardiac output. b The practical approach to a fluid challenge
