“…Table 3 provides a summary of the evidence and physiological response to the Trendelenburg position. 17,21,24,25,[27][28][29][30][31][32] Alternatives to Trendelenburg positioning, such as passive leg lift, may provide greater benefit for initial management of hypotension or prediction of fluid responsiveness with minimal or no untoward effect. 34,35 Raising the patient's legs while keeping the head of the bed horizontal relative to the patient's trunk produces an approximate volume shift of 150 to 300 mL to the upper part of the thorax.…”
