p-SVRI Systemic Vascular Resistance Index -
Systemic Vascular Resistance normalized
to body surface area.

dPmax Index of Left Ventricular Contractility -
Estimated by the maximum velocity of the
left ventricular (LV) pressure curve. The
majority of maximum pressure velocity
increase takes place in the ejection phase
of the LV, which is represented by the
upslope of the arterial pressure curve.
200 to 5000
mmHg/s
Not applicable
SVV Stroke Volume Variation - Presented beat
by beat as the change in stroke volume (in
percent) calculated by the mean difference
between the highest and lowest stroke
volume, divided by a calculated mean
stroke volume, over the last 30 seconds.
0 to 50 % <10 %
PPV Pulse Pressure Variation - The arterial
pulse pressure (PP) is defined as the
difference between the systolic and
diastolic pressure:
PP = AP
sys
- AP
dia
. Pulse pressure is
directly proportional to stroke volume such
that the pulse pressure variation (PPV)
closely reflects the SVV. PPV is presented
beat by beat as the change in PP (in
percent) calculated by the mean difference
between the highest and lowest PP divided
by a calculated mean PP over the last 30
seconds.
0 to 50 % 10
NOTE:
• Normal values reflect clinical experience and may vary from patient to patient. They are without
guarantee.
• The prefix of “p-” before SV, SVI, SVR, SVRI is an indication that these parameters are derived
by the PiCCO pod.
