Validation of a non-invasive monitor to continuously trend individual responses to hypovolemia.

BACKGROUND: Humans are able to compensate for significant blood loss with little change in traditional vital signs, limiting early detection and intervention. We hypothesized that the Compensatory Reserve Index (CRI), a new hemodynamic parameter which trends changes in intravascular volume relative to the individual patient's response to hypovolemia, would accurately trend each subject's progression from normovolemia to decompensation (SBP
