@ESICM My drawing of Prof Monnets explanation
👉 conceptualise VR as a bucket
The volume that is above RA can flow into = this is Yr “stressed volume”
👉 vol below RA = Yr unstressed volume
Venous compliance changes the size of the bucket

Fantastic turn out for the @ESICM#lives2023 physiotherapy working group meeting. Absolutely blown away by the engagement and enthusiasm of the group. So many ideas to take forward @SabrinaEggmann
I'm following the session earlier by Prof Xavier Monnet: 'Venous RETURN' & its monitoring.
Venous return
👉 is NOT cardiac preload
👉 is a flow
👉 measured in litres / min.
should be renamed to reflect that ideally.
Of course VR is linked to cardiac preload.
