How can you use “ple” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
Δ p SSP/RVSP = pressure gradient between systolic systemic pressure and right ventricular systolic pressure; Δ p DSP/mRVDP = pressure gradient between diastolic systemic pressure and the mean right ventricular diastolic pressure (the mean value between diastolic and end diastolic right ventricular pressures); PLE = passive leg elevation; RVEDVI = right ventricular end diastolic volume index; RVED V/P = right ventricular end diastolic volume/pressure ratio; RVEF = right ventricular ejection fraction; RVESVI = right ventricular end systolic volume index.
However, studying the effects of PLE on anaesthetized coronary patients by a rapid-response pulmonary artery catheter for measurement of RVEF and volumes [ 12], Reich et al . found no improvement in cardiac performance [ 13].
As the wedge pressure also increased in the patients of group B, whose right ventricular volume decreased after PLE, and the transoesophageal echocardiographic images did not show any apparent shift of the interventricular septum in all patients, we conclude that the increase in preload may have been the probable explanation for this haemodynamic change.
For this reason, we planned our study in order to evaluate the effects of PLE on the right ventricle with the same technique, comparing a group of patients with a preinduction RVEF > 45% with a second group of patients with preinduction RVEF < 40%.
