Performing a Dynamic Assessment Test
In order to measure the patient’s ability to respond to fluid by directly challenging the heart
with volume, the advanced Starling system protocols provide the user with two methods of
performing a Dynamic Assessment test:
Passive Leg Raise (PLR) Test - see the instructions below
Fluid Bolus Challenge - see page 5-46
When performing a challenge, the user is guided through the various procedure stages by the
system providing instructions via the displayed on-screen wizards; commands are initiated
by simply tapping the screen, as and where appropriate.
