Flow chart of the study. CRT, capillary refill time; ∆CRT-PLR, capillary refill time variation induced by passive leg raising; ∆CRT-PLR > 27%, positive index test defined as a decrease of capillary refill time induced by passive leg raising of at least 27%; ∆CRT-VE > 25%, CRT response defined as a decrease of capillary refill time induced by volume expansion of at least 25%; PLR, passive leg raising; VE, volume expansion
