Official Title: Validation of Capnography as a Predictor of Cardiac Output Change as Measured by FloTrac

Brief Summary:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of capnography with non-invasive measurement of cardiac output with the FloTrac/EV1000 following a reversible fluid challenge, a passive leg raising maneuver, using thermodilution as the gold standard.

The main hypothesis is a correlation of 0.8 between the increasing of ETCO2 and the increasing of ejection volume measured by FloTrac/EV1000 following a passive leg raising maneuver.
