Example sentences for: ple
How can you use “ple” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Wong et al ., using thoracic bioimpedence, showed a small but significant increase in cardiac index after PLE in awake patients (American Society of Anaesthesiologists score index II and III) undergoing elective operations [ 3].
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.
• PLE brings a slight benefit in coronary patients with a normal RVEF, but causes no benefit or adverse effects (decreased right ventricular compliance, unchanged radial artery pressure-right intraventricular pressure gradient and cardiac index) in right ventricles with a reduced ejection fraction
Many experimental and clinical studies have shown, however, that PLE has no or little haemodynamic benefit in normovolaemic patients with a stable cardiocirculatory status [ 2, 8, 9, 10, 11].
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].
