Noninvasive measurement of PVI predicted fluid responsiveness with moderate accuracy equal to PPV in sevoflurane-anaesthetized mechanically ventilated dogs. Provisional threshold values for identification of fluid responsiveness were PPV ≥ 16% and PVI ≥ 12%. Clinical trials are needed to confirm these threshold values in dogs.
