the study aims to examine the validity of combined end-expiratory and end-inspiratory occlusion test and tidal volume challenge test for prediction of fluid responsiveness in immediate post-cardiac surgery patients
multiple studies prove that dynamic variables based on heart-lung interactions accurately can predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients, including pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume (SV) variation. Furthermore, passive leg raising (PLR), end-expiratory occlusion test, and tidal volume challenge test, "Mini"-fluid challenge are currently available to assess fluid responsiveness.

The EEO test will be performed by interrupting the mechanical ventilation at end-expiration over 15 seconds using the end-expiratory hold button available on the ventilator. The EIO test will be performed by interrupting the mechanical ventilation at end-inspiration over 15 seconds using the end-inspiratory hold button available on the ventilator.
