How can you use “manoeuvre” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
On the contrary, with the right ventricles dilated and a lower basal ejection fraction, the manoeuvre of raising the legs was followed by a decrease in end diastolic volume index and end systolic volume index, and by a small increase in ejection fraction and stroke volume, while the cardiac index was unchanged because of the reduction in the heart rate.
If the manoeuvre can be utilized to treat acute hypotension due to hypovolaemia, it could not be as beneficial in the patient with a compromised right ventricle, where acute volume loading may lead to a further deterioration of the right ventricular function [ 5, 6, 7].
We finally suggest that, as the main physiopathological changes of PLE are caused by the increase in venous return to the right ventricle and they are common to those induced by the administration of fluids, the manoeuvre of fluid loading should be performed cautiously and progressively in such coronary patients.
However, in spite of the limitations described and the expectation of further investigations confirming our results, we conclude that the manoeuvre of leg elevation, necessary to prepare the sterile field in several surgical specialities (coronary, vascular and orthopaedic surgery) or to position the patient for some gynaecologic and urologic procedures, must be performed slowly and progressively in normovolaemic coronary patients with a reduced right ventricular function because it could decompensate the already poor balance of oxygen supply/demand in the right ventricle.
It would therefore not have been possible to predict from the coronarographic data the haemodynamic changes of the right ventricle that followed the passive leg raising manoeuvre.
