In the Intensive Care the Passive Leg Raising (PLR) test is a validated instrument to predict fluid responsiveness. In this study the investigators will try to prove the similarity of PLR test with a pillow and the PLR test with the patients bed in 45 degrees.
PLR test with pillow PLR test with bed to avoid a difference in results by the order of the measurements, the order of PLR testing is random.

Time frame: test performed on the moment of clinical signs of fluid need through study completion, an average of 5 days
cardiac output
are both PLR tests similar / comparable on fluid responsiveness
Time frame: test performed on the moment of clinical signs of fluid need through study completion, an average of 5 days
