Passive Leg Raise Induced Stroke Volume Changes in Elderly Prior to Elective Surgery Measured by LiDCOplusTM
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a pilot study to investigate whether patients at advanced age are fluid responders via a reversible fluid challenge, the passive leg raise test. This will be measured with a non-invasive cardiac output monitor, the LiDCO (LiDCO Hemodynamic monitoring) .

Detailed Description
The intervention is as simple as a passive leg raise with measurement of effect on Stroke volume.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |

Other: Passive Leg Raise (PLR) The patient is placed in a 45 degree recumbent position. Stroke volume is measured in ml. Intervention:The patient is placed horizontal and the legs are passively raised to 45 degrees. Measurement:The effect of the PLR on Stroke Volume is measured. Thereafter the patient is repositioned to the initial position and Stroke Volume is measured again. |
Other: Passive leg raise
By tilting the patient's bed from sitting 45 degrees to supine with legs tilted up 45 degrees we recruit the blood volume in the legs and can measure a reversible fluid challenge on stroke volume.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assess passive leg raise responsiveness in spontaneously breathing aged patients. [Within 1 minute of the intervention]
Stroke volume changes in ml and as per cent change compared to baseline
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Investigate whether there is an association between a positive response to passive leg raise on stroke volume and post spinal anesthesia. [30 minutes]
Post spinal bloodpressure per cent change or 30 mmHg decrease
